fuel pump

A little bit over a year ago, I started engine swapping my manual 1997 318i. I picked up an automatic 1998 328i, and swapped my 5spd trans onto it and put in in the chassis. I also purchased a K+DCAN Cable from eBay to plug into the 20pin under the hood for ews rolling code alignment. I now have...

Hi, So I purchased a 59 reg 120i coupe petrol (E82) some weeks ago and since having it it’s been struggling on start up, cranks up sometimes for a good 5+ seconds before it even comes on- this is mainly after it hasn’t been in use for some hours. It starts shaking then and takes minutes to...

HI, I have a 2006 E90, It is not getting any fuel. I opened the bleeder valve on the rail and nothing came out when I pressed it with a pick. 0 fuel pressure. I then checked all the fuses I could find related to the fuel system. No dice. I replaced the fuel pump relay in the box on the right...

Hi guys, My first post here after trawling posts for hours on end recently bought a 318ti compact with around 120k miles on the clock. Drove ok for about a week but seemed to idle really bad and search for good revs about one out of every 10 starts. one day i was outside my local garage...

Hi All, My car has recently been diagnosed with HP fuel pump failure (N53 engine Fault code P3090):frown I believe the P/N for a replacement HP fuel pump is 13517616170 , Talking to main dealer I being quote nearly £1000 for the part:eek , interesting Euro parts are also coming out at the same...

Hi I have a BMW E46 320CD 2006 - 150BHP M47n engine, have already posted about a cold start issue where the engine knocks and idle is rough so any suggestions on that would be great, however the other issue is when the key is turned to position two there is a rather loud electrical noise...

Hi all, I have a 2007 523i which decided not to start this morning. The car electrics work, and the car cranks when attempting to start but will not fire up. I've noticed that when I unlock the car you can not hear the fuel pump prime as you usually can. I suspect that the fuel pump system is...

Hi all. I hope i can get this problem sorted with out it costing a fortune. Ok my car dealer friend has a x5 for sale and i fall in love with it, after talking terms it is now mine. One day after owning it up comes a dash light telling me that there is a fuel pump fault. It was not on the car...

Evening all, Hoping someone can help. I've got a 2005 X3 320d that is failing to start after it's been run for while i.e. the engine is up to temp. When it's cold it struggles to start but does stutter to life after about 5 -10 secs of turning over. When it's warm it will just turn over but...

Hey everyone! I have a e46 320d 2004, which has decided to have a mind of its own! My car is starting to have trouble starting - however when it does decide to start, it works straight away. Symptoms: The car starts intermittently. I have noticed that when I hear the fuel pump "whirring"...

Hi guys, I have a problem with my car that I cannot figure out. I am pretty confident to DIY things on it if I have enough information/examples (replaced things like the vaccum pump, water pump and do my own services.) Basically the car drove absolutely fine about a week ago. I do 80 miles a...

Hi, guys. Once upon a time in winter had a jerking engine - when on D the whole car was shaking, when on N - normal. The same day after work when accelerating lost ignition to the engine - it shutdown while driving. Fuel tank gauge showed 20 l, but could not start. After 5 minutes filled in like...

Broke down on the M6 due to a fault fuel pump. A garage replaced the entire main unit (including the fuel sensor), which solved the issue. However since replacing, the entire dash (all interior lights, dials etc..) cut out, then reset back on after a few minutes every 30 minutes or so, sometimes...

I've had a problem for a while with my car starting especially in the mornings. It will start first time but after approx 30 seconds I can see a lot of air bubbles through the clear pipe from the fuel filter and it splutters and will then cut out. It often then takes a lot of cranking and some...

Fuel pump failure is quite expected for e46 at this point of time, as they are all over 10 years now and have 100K+miles. My fuel pump failed to start one sweet day, so it was time to change it. At this point you can have two options: whether to buy entire Fuel Sending Unit (which is an actual...

Hi guys I have an '02 e36 318ti and recently the car shudders while driving and feels almost as if its pushing forward and pulling back while trying to pick up speed. The cars battery does need to be changed but I don't see that being the issue... Could the fuel pump be on its way out or maybe...

Hi all, newbie here. Ive got a 2010 BMW 118d thats been in a minor accident and now it doesnt seem to want to start. I have read about things called "inertia switches" or "fuel cutoff switches" so I was hoping someone knew about these and where its located, so I can see if its buggered...

My early 2003 registered BMW 525TD Auto needs to be cranked over more in order to start. The problem only occurred in the last four or five days. I took it to a friend, with a garage, and he carried out an OBD diagnosis on the car for me. The fault memory came out as follows: 1613 Smooth...

Had a new fuel pump fitted onto my 2004 330ci yesterday by a mobile mechanic. While working on the pump and the handbrake he had the driver's door open with the interior light on the whole time - hadn't disconnected the battery, even when doing the pump. Anyway, after having fitted the pump the...

hi there my e39 525tds has been standing for some months now because the fuel pump and glow plugs are not working all the time, some times it works, but mostly not... all the glow plugs and relay are as good as new, and the fuel pump always starts when i wire it directly to the battery.. and on...
