fuel strip diy fix

[Tim1200]

Has anyone done the DIY fix using a igniter on there fuel strip ? i have a 1200 gsa 09 with fuel light flashing. I have done some reading up on this but i would like any pictures before i started it. The fuel strip was replaced as a good will gesture in july this year and its feked already and BMW dont give a g/tee with good will work so im no happy about paying for a new one. Any help would be appreciated cheers.

I believe BMW have issued a 10 year warranty on this part now, speak to the dealer again ��

Not in the UK they haven't. I know they have in the USA and maybe a few other places.

It wasn't long ago I spoke to them I even phoned customer service but still no g/tee :-(

BMW told me my new strip came with a 2yr guarantee. but I assume that means the replacement strip will be free, but I shall have to pay them labour for fitting it?

If the dealer fitted the strip the labour is free as well.

Thats good to know, cheers.

Yes but they only fitted it as a good will gesture I didn't pay for it and they don't give g/tee on good will :-(

But the same dealer who fecked the last fuel strip is going to do a perfect job with another one.

My original lasted 50K and 6 years. The OP had one fitted by a dealer and it's dead in 6 months. Getting the same lot to fit a replacement would not be top of my list.

What happens when a fuel strip is fitted WITHOUT Calibration? Is it just inaccurate or does the Canbus throw a paddy?
