Gonna be installing a new fuel pump on the weekend...just wondering Do you need to use any special type of wire and terminals for this? or just the standard stuff u can buy from auto one/ super cheap?

because on the how to it doesnt actually say, and just looks like standard wire...but i wasnt sure how that would go being in the tank? also...do the terminals need to be covered up?

thanks.

Pretty much all you do is replace the stock pump with the new pump, it's very easy. Just make sure you don't get the polarities wrong like I did, the pump will run in reverse and not work.

Also are you planning on rewiring the pup to run direct off the battery? Highly recommend that you do...

Just looking at the DIY for it, the stock pump terminal connections are different to the ones on top of the 040?

rewiring the pump to run direct off the battery? if its the thing to do...then ill look it up and do it while im at it.

Ah ok, I assumed they were the same as an 044. Just standard insulated wire will be fine. Make sure you use heatshrink to cover up any exposed wires, you certainly don't want any sparks in there.

As for wiring off the battery, it made a huge difference to my pump. There is a DIY for it in the FI reference guide if you have a look in there.

      For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
