Who is blaming techron? Merely asking a question. Did you read all the posts where I said I guess the law of averages has caught up with me?Nothing worse than people who want to blame products, companies, or people for random failures on old, high mileage vehicles. If Techron caused fuel pump failures we'd know by now.

Honda’s are known to have very low failure rate on fuel pumps and 200K miles is “young” for a well maintained honda without VCM. I buy my cars new and run them all over 200K miles. Never had a fuel pump issue in over 30 years. Last issue I had was with the old diaphragm pump leaking in the 80’s but that never quit.
This was my first go around with Techron, It is similar to guy that gets his first set of highly touted “insert you favorite product” and something goes wrong he will wonder if it was the product.....Not necesarilly blame the product.
I just wish some of the snarky comments are kept to themselves. it does not add anything helpful to the discussion.
I seems that asking a question about a particular product is like a personal attack to the fanboys of that product...Too much snarkiness.
My fuel pump died in my 2004 A4 that had ~126k miles on it. My mechanic said it was most likely due to the fact that the plus weren't changed since around 40k and they gap got so big the pump was trying to supply too much fuel. That was his thought though no way to prove it. In that car Audi calls for plugs every 40k and the had over 80k on them.
That makes no sense at all.My fuel pump died in my 2004 A4 that had ~126k miles on it.

Hey man, I'm an IT guy not a mechanic. However, I don't really use him anymore for various reasons including distance and price though in his area his is the guy that people go to who own Porsche, Audi, VW, BWM, Mercedes, etc... So he must know what he is doing if they keep coming back. Especially when those dealers are close to where his shop is.That makes no sense at all.
I would find a new mechanic.
The two aren't related. It's like blaming your weight gain on your neighbor's over-eating.Hey man, I'm an IT guy not a mechanic.

Though it makes sense to me that if the pump is set to deliver a certain amount of fuel and with the gap being to large trying to dump more fuel would cause the pump to work harder supplying the fuel and could fail after a certain amount of time of being stressed. But then again as I stated I am an IT guy not a mechanical engineer but the same thing happens with IT right? Take a processor for instance. It is rated for X voltage. Turn that voltage up to Y and the performance can increase but that extra voltage increases stress and heat which could possibly cause the processor to fail sooner. Same with any component that is overclocked or stressed.
If I could do that, I would be such a happier person!It's like blaming your weight gain on your neighbor's over-eating.
