great video! my 520d won’t start, and i suspect the fuelpump. only problem is, i disconected the tubing to the fuel filter, and when i turn the egnition, there is fuel coming out both tubes. i don’t know if this is i don’t know if this is excess fuel, or that the pump is actually working, and perhaps the pump by the engine is the problem? can you help?
No. The traction control system can get screwy if you unplug your battery or if your battery was low and you tried starting your car w/ the electronics glitching.. most likely a reset of traction control system w/ a BMW specific diagnostics tool will fix the issue.
Thanks for making the video, it’s very helpfull, could you tell me where you got those hose ear clamps and the tool to squize them, what size if you remember?
Thanks again.
Hi, I recently put a new engine on e36 325tds with new computer box, i still cant get the car start. i have tried the programming the car only cranks. i am not sure if i should check the diesel pump pressure since the car have been not moving for a year. It cranks as if it will start but cannot. Can any one give suggestion please ?
Thanks. Quality video in all levels.
Great thing is that I have 530i (2001), and at this point (at 0:18 now) structure seems to be very similar, so I assume that process is similar too. There is A LOT of sand, so now just cleaning and buying a tester to proceed. I probably have to use vacuum cleaner first.
Sorry my English.
great video…..what are the wires that control the fuel sending unit and are they connect with the cars radio? my radio wires where cut …can this be the cause to my problem….please make a video on sending units i checked online and noone has them…thank you from Florida
I have a 1997 E39 with fuel sending unit issues fuel pump is working but not the fuel sending unit …what are the wires to look for to troubleshoot it?

Who wants to bet he wasn’t smoking during this video’s creation? Awesome camera/edit work.

thanks door the video! i got a question, did your traction control system get wiped out after the fix?
I never would have thought I’d have to go through the backseat
Excellent video, thanks for posting!
Thanks for the video it would have been more challenging without it
Greatvid installing new s62 into my beast as luck would have it my fuel pump is dead ordered aeromotive 11140

U gotta read the online forums. Too many possible issues to diagnose like that.
