Hello All,

i've decided to be more proactive and take care of a few issues on my e46, i got a scanguage2 OBD2 scanner and scanned the codes. i got P0002 back, i looked up this code and it seems to be related to the Fuel Pressure Regulator.

My fuel pump was going bad and so i replaced it with a brand new OEM fuel pump, i cleared the code yesterday and it hasn't come back. i'll continue driving the car around and keeping an eye on it, but has anyone had this error code and what was the solution? i don't have any issues with gas mileage, i get about 27mpg highway and about 20-22mpg local.

Also, with the scanner i saw that when the temperature gauge is centered, the car runs around 184 degrees, but when i'm driving it dips as low as 175 degrees. The needle falls more in the cold range. Is this an indication that the thermostat needs to be replaced? there are no error codes for this

thank you,
