When I had my BMW 135i, I read about the HPFP failures and recalls. Mine was replaced under warranty.

In reading about that fuel pump, someone suggested adding a cap full of synthetic 2-stroke oil to each tank full of gas, saying this would help make the fuel pump last.

I've asked about adding the capfull of 2-stroke oil on a couple "crickets" threads here, but no one has tried it that I know of.

My car I've heard the crickets once, but otherwise I don't hear the crickets, or i'd try this trick on my own car to see.

I'd be willing to be that this gets rid of the crickets, and if not, there's no harm in trying.
