How many PE have had fuel pump recall done?
Discussion
My PE was in for paint on rear arches with Manchester at the end of the year and I pushed to see if the recall could be done. Manchester also believed it was likely so while it was with them they checked part number against recall and Alpine UK confirmed that it was definitely not affected
It is my understanding that PEs are in the recall.
This is based on :
1. The email from Alpine to me last year
2. My ongoing correspondence with Wasim trying to get a date for the work to be done. There seems no reason to the methodology employed by Alpine as to when cars are recalled. If PEs were not in the recall one would expect Wasim to say “Your PE is not in the recall”

Many thanks. So that’s further confirmation PE are in the recall. What isn’t so great is we are 4 months since the recall notice and I’m still waiting. The fault was discovered in Japan in 20/21…
It's still not clear to me if all PEs have the same pump and therefore they are ALL are subject of the recall. And I must ask what they are trying to work out before they can fit a replacement. Is the tank or the way the pump fits it different from later cars?Life110 said:
The PE has a different electrical and monitoring system. It has a fuel pump part number different to all later models. I’ve not heard of any PE fuel pump failures. ?????
Please can you expand on this.I know there is no GPF on the PE but what do you mean by a different electrical and monitoring system. I know you produce remaps for them so would appreciate your explanation
Many thanks

I think the best way to think about it is like a PE running Windows 9 where as all new cars are Windows 11. Sometimes the later software variants need different hardware. From an engine mapping software perspective, and this is where the fuel injector and pump part of the software is also held, we've counted about 6 software variants so far. PE engine also has a number of differences vs later cars. Everything changed at 2019my, and there was a big gap in the production timing between PE and the rest.I know there is no GPF on the PE but what do you mean by a different electrical and monitoring system.

Interesting, I wonder why they are changing them then. Mine is booked in next week
I see this claim a lot. But many PEs fps failed in Australia. Mine included. And then the replacement pump they fitted from stock got replaced as well. So I've no idea why the 100+ Australian PEs are different from the UK PEs but there you go. Definitely all cars from pretty close calendar period of production.Gassing Station | Alpine | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
