Bm3 fuel pump and transmission malfunction

frenchfry675 · 05-12-2018, 05:47 PM

I just installed bm3 stage 2 today. Wow what a difference. It pulls hard the whole rpm range. Very smooth. My only issue is i have a fuel pump and drivetrain malfunction that won't go off. As soon as the tune was done they came on. Also when I put the ignition on engine off the fuel pump keeps running. I connected support and said something about online recoding? Waiting to hear back figured I'd ask if anyone had this issue here?

Update:
So I'm just stupid and didn't look under the flash button where it says "online recoding" for cars that have drivetrain and fuel pump malfunction. I just did it this morning and it took 45 seconds and everything is all good now.

Also wanted to let anyone who is on the fence about bm3...just do it. I used to run jb4 map2 and it was pretty fast but this tune is night and day. When I had the jb4 on it felt like the car pulled hard initially and then felt like the boost would run out as the rpms climbed. This thing is smooth as silk and pulls hard the entire rpm range. It feels like a new car and initial flash only only took 4 minutes. Bm3 support is also great even though I probably annoyed the shit out of them since I had no clue what I was doing. Hahaha.
I attached a log if anyone cares.

Click "online recode" under the big red flash button.

This is unrelated to your post but just curious as how you have the m2 paddle shifters on yours?

They are actually plug and play I think these were from a m6. I don't have the part number handy but I think m2,m3,m4,m5 and m6 paddles are the same. Someone was selling these on here but I got mine from Belgium on eBay for $130.
