    The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

    Failed attempt to go look at the e83. Drove 30 minutes before she texted me to tell me she was stuck in traffic. May try again tomorrow...
    UPDATE: sold. Oh well

    If you were to open your fuel pump, and see this type of hose clamp, would you think this is the original pump?

    Would a dealership use an OEM-style clamp or a screw-gear hose clamp?

    I reused my original one...
    I didn't have a choice. I had the new pump already in the trunk when mine failed but I didn't have any clamps. I replaced it at a rest stop on I-95.

    The original one crimped on just fine, though I wouldn't reuse it a 3rd time.

    The OE clamp is a "single use" crimp connector.

    That’s what I thought... according to my records my fuel pump and seal were replaced at 70k miles (currently at 102k) by an independent shop in Texas. Terry Sayther, perhaps some of your Texas mafiosos know [of] him. If this is indeed the original pump I’m gonna be pissed

    He could have reused the clamp. BP just said he did it and I've done it myself with those style clamps in a pinch. Not ideal, but if it's been fine for 32k miles then it ain't going anywhere.

    He also could have gone overboard and used a new clip style clamp from BMW instead of a simple screw hose clamp.

    It looks like there's a date code printed on the fuel pump - just above the hose clamp in your pic. If that is indeed a date code and it says mfg in 2004 then uhhh...

    I might have to open the back seat again and take a look. It also says VDO next to the electrical input. That’s the OEM if I’m not mistaken, but usually when it’s genuine bmw there’s a roundel somewhere in the vicinity...

    Right, there's a roundel stamped on the other side of the plug for the OE BMW part, but the VDO stamp is also there. The roundel is likely shaved off for the VDO part. Roundel would still be there if the shop bought the pump from the dealer, so won't tell you much.
