maybe ur ecu retuned itself and undid the safc?? well i don't really know how those things work .. but it seems for me the longer i drive about without resetting the ecu... the better my economy ... i get about 480 pertank now .. and thats when the lights just start flashing so i've got at least another 50ks left ... its about the only good thing about having a stock as rock car LOL .. and thats on bp 95 premium ..

Rob,

I wonder if your oxy sensor has shat itself? A fresh set of plugs (or a clean if they're big $ plugs) is on the cards, as they'd be fouled for sure.

I'm sure Martin & the Morpowa guys will rectify the problem.

I believe that Hikari has 2nd Hand Power FCs for $1,100 .... I'm seriously thinking about it.

Im seriously advising people against buying 2nd hand FC's.

I've been burnt, and will share the story once it has been concluded.

Lets just say the Magistrate might be invited into a discussion I'm having with a particular shop (Not Hikari).

Dude, that sucks. Electronics usually are pretty reliable - no moving parts. Was the problem there when you bought it or did it arise down the track?

Alot of people buy second hand without dramas (including myself, got a second hand power fc), so maybe its just that if you buy second hand, either get a written guarantee, test it on the spot (doesnt take much to plug in a power fc) or make sure you get it checked out before paying. Cos its a good way to save dollars:)

I am pretty sure hikari will offer a guarantee that it works when they sell them anyways. I am getting a fuel pressure reg off him and he told me I have 30 waranty.

I've bought a second hand Blitz SBC-iD Boost controller that looked bran-new from Hikari. That was over a year maybe a year and a half ago and its still working fine.

You will always get problems here or there with items you buy be it new or second hand. Just hardley ever do you get problems with warranty. Thats when it sucks.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
