Hey Doug, Thanks for posting this. I didn't think of making a survey out of it, but I am curious too about the experiences of others. I'll be very interested if anyone posts any recent examples of the classic "no fuel pump" failure that the pink labels had.
As I had posted originally, my 147K '89 came with a 951 already installed so I assume a P.O. had the failure and paid the big money. Then I found a pink label 561 at our local pick-n-pull in a '91 with about 150K. That one drove my car around for a week or two without problem. I switched the 951 back in because I would rather not fail at an inopportune time, but I've wondered all along if maybe all the bad pink labels are long gone.
I have been watching the board closely for over a year now. I recall a few of people supsicious of their 561 when they had no-starts. I don't recall anyone posting that they actually had their fuel pumps stop and that a new ECU was the fix. A post or two certainly could have slipped by me.
I also tried to help a guy with an unrelated problem in his '89 740 8 valve and noticed that he had a pink label. That car had about 135K and had clearly lived a hard life.
Happy New Year
