Ok my engine warning light has come on again , the code is 0171 (system too lean) iv had this code come up before so I check it all out and turned one of my hoses come off the air intake, assuming that's what it was I fixed it cleared the code but now it's back, anyone with any help ideas to what it could be would be much appreciated, also I have rechecked all hoses and clamps all seem to be fine so now I'm lost

Did they change the fuel filter?

(it is a section of the pump assembly in the fuel tank)

If it hasn't been done, it may still be on it's original production line filter and might be quite clogged.

Just a thought.

Hey guys, didn't want to start a new thread. Mine has the same code coming up. Vac lines replaced and cable tied. Car seems to run fine but don't want to go and blow it...

However I want to change the fuel pump anyway, is there a write up on this?? Can't seem to find one for the life of me. Would be happy to take pics and do a write up if that is the case.

So does anyone have a part number for the external filter? What's the best drop in pump to use and so on... Your wisdom is greatly appreciated as always.

    • 2 weeks ago $240 cash. 200-300 per wheel is wild for sandblasting and can't see a wheel costing more then $100 per wheel to powder coat.    
    • Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster. 
    • I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240  
    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.
