Should I let Toyota replace my fuel pump? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hakuzen · 12-18-2013, 04:03 PM

Hello,

During maintenance the service tech noticed there was a new fuel pump available for my car and ordered it.

The fuel pump arrived and they want me to bring my car in, but the thing is.. It's the SU003-05176 pump, which has already been confirmed to NOT FIX the crickets.

I told him that, but he still wanted me to bring the car in anyway. He is dead set on installing it.

Should I do it? Will I be punished for refusing to let them put the pump in?

I just don't see the point if the pump doesn't fix the issue, but these guys are really insisting on it.

Thanks!

You wont be refused, but I guess they could deny you further fixes to fuel related issues somehow? Also the crickets are not caused by fuel pumps at all...so yep. not going to fix your crickets

What are you talking about? The High Pressure Fuel Pump is the most common cause of the cricket noise...I know, I just had mine replaced with the NEW revised pump...and guess what, no more crickets. Get your fact straight.

Was this part SU003-05176? Or is there an even newer one out?

not everyone has permanent fix.
some people had success but came back later.
some people had same problem like old pump.

how many mileage and period time since you replaced pump?
this will help other people.

I didn't bother take it to the dealer to fix it

1. I see they don't have permanent solution yet.
2. I don't want to waste my time

Until there is permanent fix, i won't go in and replace pump every time they get new one.

I would not have them replace it. Like you are saying, they do not have a fix, so why keep swapping it out with nothing changing, it's a waste of time, unless it's a fix. But if they do refuse to help you with it later because you chose not swap it out now(which i think they won't do) i would just do it. Good luck!

I would hold off on it. The way I see it is that everytime your car is under repair is another chance for 'complications'.

It's like needless surgery if it doesn't fix anything.

You have a 2014 FRS.... you never confirmed if you have crickets though....

Also, if you do have crickets, what is your build date?

Boxer486 · 12-18-2013, 07:12 PM

If you don't have crickets, leave well enough alone. Always refuse anyone wanting to touch your car that doesn't have to. Would have thought the 2014 would have already had the latest pump in it anyway...

Hakuzen · 12-18-2013, 07:26 PM

I do get crickets, but only when it is warm out and the engine has been running for awhile. They come and go.

The latest pump seems to have been released back in mid-october, which is a few weeks after I purchased the car.

At this point i'm very hesitant, as I just don't see a point if the pump is confirmed to have not fixed the issue for most if not all people.

I've had that issue since I got the car 16 months ago but, like you, every time it happens it's when the car is well warmed up (usually not close to dealership or when they're closed).

They've always insisted that they wanted to see the problem in action before doing any replacement so there's something good about having a proactive service tech...

Love your circumstantial evidence

The original part number superseded to another one. They no longer make the old one. SU003-05176 is the new number

What is your FRS' build date?
