I bought mine back in May so maybe it’s been isolated to this spring/summer. I would definitely check your kit, it sure sucks being in the middle of a project and missing a part especially being that’s all I need to finish the car. The good thing is Matt has been super helpful taking my calls and he is in the neighboring state. Hoping to have it today.
just ran out and checked, i have it!!
Depending on your mechanical aptitude - the hardest part for me was the TB Gear and bending the fuel lines. Otherwise, it's extremely easy - just make sure you get the lines routed correctly
I started with putting the car in service position to do the Tstat and access the EGR bits so my times will be a bit different. I’d say just the CP3 and belt can be done comfortably around 4~5 hours. The turbo and EGR on the other hand took me Around 8 hours. On day 3 I deleted the aux pump and cleaned up the fuel lines and put the front end back on the car and buttoned everything up under the hood. All in I have about 3 days invested in this entire swap which I planned for. My fitting showed up yesterday so I will install that today and try to start the car.
why would being in warm or cold climate have an effect on this filtering setup?

@Garrison cc, while the darkside one will work, it is too expensive!!! buy the OEM one, here is the PN
you're welcome.
the tune must be updated with the new sensor values. same as if you swap the MAP out for a different BAR rated one
Sadly, no. you will need Malone tune as I just had it done 2 days agio. before tune, CEL was thrown instantly as I turned the car without starting. it will be on limp mode if you install it without tune and being limp mode is dangerous with a ton impatient drivers on roads nowadays.
Ok. Thank you. I am tuned by darkside. I will ask if they can tune for the 2200 or only theirs. I would by theirs but it’s pretty expensive plus shipping and duty fees when it gets to the US.
Just following up with this post. I spoke with Matt after the holidays. He just said that unfortunately, not all of the CP3 pumps are the same externally and that my options were 1.) to grind down the ridge on the pump housing, 2.) mount the barb sideways and use some extra fuel line to make the connections or 3.) source a longer banjo bolts with a spacer. Mounting the barb sideways was not a good an option because it interfered with the engine cover. And hunting on-line for banjo bolts of the proper length and spacer was like looking for a needle in a haystack. So I opted for grinding down the ridge. Precision grinding of cast iron in a tight location was difficult and time consuming.Installation Problems - Banjo Fittings Not Aligning Properly (Whitbread CP3 Kit)
In the process of changing the Thermostat, installing the CR170 Turbocharger, doing the Timing Belt Service and the CP3 Fuel Pump Upgrade. All going well, thermostat an turbocharger complete, timing belt removed, the CP4 removed, the CP3 is mounted, the high pressure fuel line reshaped and connected, and now ready to connect two remaining lines to the pump, this is where the problems developed.
Return Line - the banjo fitting needs to mount at an angle to clear the pump housing. This is causing the elbow hose to not like up with the banjo barb. See picture below
Temp Sensor / Fuel Feed Line - location of the port on the pump is not like other pictures online that I have reviewed. The port for the banjo fitting is located in the back of the pump instead of the side. And the port is much higher than other pumps online causing interference with the engine cover (ie the engine cover will not mount on that corner). See picture below
It just seems this pump is an odd duck . It does not match any of the pictures or tutorials available online.
I have sent an email to Matt Whitbread, but due to the holidays I am not expecting a reply anytime soon. I am also reluctant to start re-engineering the installation before I hear back from Matt. So thought I would check in with the TDi Forum to see if anyone has any suggestions or has encountered this situation during their install. Thanks in advance.
Merry Christmas to all!

Good eye, I needed just a bit more height for the cover. You may have also noticed that I removed the metal high pressure fuel line attachment point from the engine cover mount. Since it interfered with the metal fuel line.
i needed more height aswell, home depot had a threaded sleeve with a stud on one end, i threded that into where the "ball" threads in and then threaded the "ball" into it (hopefully that makes sense). this gave me the perfect height, initially i stacked washers also but ran out of threads and still needed more clearence. it also looks a tad cleaner but most people will never notice the washers anyhow.
a tad late but as one who has had a cp3 fail in my old duramax i can confirm no metal shavings were found as a result. it literally drove to the fuel station,got filled, and didnt start afterwards. i made a very expensive guess and had a "good used cp3" overnighted, replaced it at the fuel station and went on my way. the used pump lasted the remainder of my ownership which was maybe another 100,000 miles so it was good....my oem one had 250,000 or so miles on it, still have it in a box with my cp4 now. its far larger than our cp3s for anyone wondering, ive got a picture in this log.

Or the cam sprocket slipped in the slots if it was fine for a while. Check the physical timing, and confirm the crank Sensor wiring wasn't damaged somehow during the install
Does that kit require you to keep the AUX pump installed?
CoryDaBird, i am curious about this aswell.
just found their youtube install video, the AUX pump must stay installed with the BMW pump, as it lacks the built in low pressure pump. just as i suspected earlier in this thread
