!!The new high pressure fuel pump review!
Guys,
Just got her back from the dealership, they replaced the DFI engine's high pressure fuel pump with a better one because of a campaign, and my first impressions are: 1-) Engine starts at least 50% faster, up to 75-80% faster when starting a cold engine. 2-) Smoother idling. 3-) Better engine noise when you pop the hood and listen to the engine carefully. |
Good to hear, what campaign are you referring to? I haven't received any notification from Porsche USA.
|
was the pump replaced during routine service?
or did you have to ask about the tsb or lodge a complaint about something specific for the dealer to change the pump? |
i didn't ask for it, they replaced it during a routine service
|
I think it's campaign W29 (not sure). Had mine replace last month.
|
It's actually WA29 and the part was 000-043-301-27-001.
|
yes, the campaign code is WA29
|
Mine was replaced as well for free on my 09 GTS. But didnt really notice any changes to be honest
|
so campaign means I can schedule with the dealer and have them replaced the said part for free of charge? or does it require a service in order to get the campaign?
|
Okay, confirmed. This campaign only applies to face-lifted 1st generation Cayenne, 2008-2010.
I called and provided VIN# and the Porsche service adviser ran against their computer and informed me that my CS is in good working order :) |
has anyone noticed an increase in mpg due to the new pump??
|
I've noticed no changes at all
|
I got my '08 GTS back today, after having the pump installed (warranty).
I had some trouble with the car taking to long to crank up, but just figured it was cold blooded. Acceleration always felt decent, but it lacked the punch I expected when flooring it, especially at lower rpm. Then, this past weekend, driving back from Vegas, I was losing power for a few seconds at a time, then the rpms would come back. I'd press on the gas, nothing would happen, and then it would roar back to life. Freaked me out a little hilarious So, I took it in... Man, what a difference. Acceleration is way better, and the car starts right up. I'm pretty shocked at the difference. If you haven't had yours checked for the campaign for the pump, do it! |
Had mine done about 8 months ago. Noticed MUCH faster starts.
|
Hmmm... Does anyone know if the same applies for the Turbo, or was the turbo pump already the higher pressure one?
Thanks! |
