e93 recall
Got back from the states last week and had a message that my car was needed in for a recall. Having called them to find out the details it seems they need to re-programme a control unit as there is a danger the car could suffer a sudden loss of power.
Fortunately they were able to get the car in pretty quickly and now I've got it back it seems to drive much better. Acceleration is much smoother and although it's early days I don't seem to be getting any of the intermittent hesitation when pulling away. Anyone else had this done? Miopyk |

What's the build date of your car and which engine? Also I'd have thought such a recall would not apply to all E9x. If it's a 335i and I get the latest software then I'm especially interested!

I missed out a vital "not" in my hurried typing. Anyway I think you understood what I was saying. This is for the high pressure fuel pump?

Heard nothing yet, but it's due a visit soon, when I can be bothered to book it in! Will prob get done then. If it stops the hesitation when pulling away I am more keen on getting it sorted tho

Either way 2 days later my car is running much better and I've had no hesitation at all which I used to get intermittently on an almost daily basis. I also think the fuel economy has improved slightly too, not that I thought it was too bad before. Miopyk |

How is the car running now - still better? Got mine booked in to have the injectors replaced (can't do it for two weeks because I will need a loaner) amongst other faults Just hoping it cures my hesitation when pulling away! Will let you know how I get on |

Ironic thing is I took it in 6 months ago for rough idle and hesitation and they said there was nothing wrong with it. Go figure. Miopyk |

Car now seems a LOT smoother without the hesitation when pulling away They also cured a rattle in my roof, high gloss shadow line trim falling off & a creaking drivers seat but could not find why my left hand storage compartment in the boot fills up with water . |
