BMW E39 Engine Stalling Fuel Filter Replacement 525i 528i 530i

[@honawikeepa5813]

My 540i has 385,000 k on it. Now and again it stalls, then other times it will run fine. I considered changing the fuel pump, but I might pull the filter out and see what's inside. Apart from this it runs extremely well. Thanks for the video.

[@saclyfemoney3371]

hey i have a 528i 2000 and its has a steady 4&5 misfire i need help finding out why i replace bunch of parts and sensors

[@DavidThomas-bb2gl]

had the same problem fitted new airflow meter all fixed e39 523i

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Hopefully it fixes it, I will have a update video this week when the maf comes in

[@shaksahim]

Thanks for all the informative videos. Which BMW application told you about the airflow issue? I'm just now starting to learn about INPA, ISTA, Rheingold, etc. But not sure which of these applications can indicate problems before they turn into codes that can be read by basic OBD scanners. TIA!

[@katlin_thomas]

What's the 3rd line for that's not attached to the filter but held up by the same hangers (the one closest to outside of car)?

[@jason.arthur.taylor]

A failed fix is still a good experiment. Great information.

[@jayc4721]

Had same issue. Turned out to be cts

[@jayc4721]

Coolant temperature sensor.

Awesome Video Nathan, I repaired my fuel injectors and I started my car up. My car sounds like a Shelby Cobra (magnaflow cat) but my car kills out around 500 RPM's. Ive checked my MAF, ICV, fuel rails, vaccume & leaks on '97 540i automatic. I am very lost at what it might be, any suggestions will be very helpful.

[@TerrybleGamer]

Catalytic converter?

[@chadriddle3517]

Agreed cats clogged.

[@darrylroberts3908]

Hi mate, Due to you experience.I own a 535i e39 2003 it seems to change up gears and change back down under light load,up a hill it feels like it can't deside what gear to be in. I have booked it in to check auto fluid level and plug change ect any ideas ?

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Change the fluid and filter

[@Neo-n_Cowboy]

[@bimmerlife5452]

Guten Tag. Bitte lassen Sie mich wissen, nach der Reparatur der bmw e39 535 und vanos, gibt es Fehler von 75-76-77 und DC

[@jgripen969]

I'm pretty sure my fuel filter in my 540 is the original one from 97' 😂 Haven't had a problem with it though and gas here in Sweden is usually of very high quality, but still, that old fuel fulter gotta go soon. Car has 200 000 km on it.

[@kribar96]

J Gripen you should change it, eventho it runs fine it strains your fuelpump. You'll possibly notice some performance increase

[@ProLifeTours]

Hey I have a 2003 E39 530i and my gas gauge keeps playing going up and down and can’t figure what it might be? Any idea thanks

[@yasserelnagar8559]

Hi. Is it recommended to replace the fuel filter when replacing the fuel pump? Thank you

[@Foxbat1155]

I personally think so, fuel filter is cheap, and if it is clogged, it is going to damage the new fuel pump.

[@Jet3ch]

Is it hard to diagnose MAF? Will it throw a code to point at it easily?

[@McCarthyism_by_Youtube]

Unplug em and go for a drive. If there's no difference, mafs are bad

[@lalo2641]

I have a 525i 2005 and I can't find filter

[@Shas4Ever]

I like your Sun Glasses Nathan.

[@theblackmambaplague]

So this happened to my car today, thinking about the filter. The car started but it bogged down and died, cranked but didn’t start for a while, went and disconnected and reconnected the fuel pump relay in the trunk and it started right up for 15 seconds and then it died again. Now it starts but it won’t stay on.

[@blackedm3486]

What was the issue

[@breakz187]

fuel pump :)

[@kaamiljahmezjaanfoster5795]

My e39 cut off on me twice. I had like a quarter tank and it cut off. Is it the fuel pump and filter ? I was on the gas and it wouldn’t accelerate. What do you think ?

[@heymanwhatsupitsmemark530]

Did you figure out this problem? Was it the transfer tube in the tank?

[@breakz187]

its the pump on the ride side of the car when it dies at 1/4 tank

[@NathanJones-w6b]

Open secret to not to let your E39 go below quarter tank! It’s like Mogwai at midnight…. Gremlins!

[@jasonputtock4428]

got a few issues. BMW struggles to start. then it starts. Switch engine off and struggles to restart but it does after about 10 secs. then another issue. Key in Ignition. car starts up good. run for a while. turn off. key out. key in and well shit the system livens up and ffails to turn over let alone crank. Repeat this several time in 1 min then eventually it starts to crank. can you help . 525 TDS, 1997 can just purchased with 200K kms on the clock and no history at all.

[@rafidrafid8073]

Hi can you speak about e34 e34 535 engine

[@lorenzobeckmann3736]

I'm twice as old....when I have a car with this milage/age, I drop and clean the tank and change all filters---then check operation of injectors 15 yrs of sluge in tank

[@bornfree180]

Unplug maf. Ride out !!! 🤙🏼 not the best thing but it’ll get you by for a quick min till you can afford a new one

[@Shas4Ever]

What was the end result of this vehicle? Are you able to drill down the issue and fixed it? I would love to know the conclusion. Thanks

[@PlymitBoy]

Tbh man this guy is a hack of a mechanic. He uses cheap parts & then goes on a rat chase with other issues and the customer probably is left with an insane bill. I have seen both fuel filters & ICVs break on these cars, so for him to say "I've never seen these fail" outlines his inexperience with these cars. It's a red flag when people talk in definites.

[@mule666]

I changevevery 3 ...4 years ..it is easy job and cost almost nothing

[@Sroor90010]

Siemens air mass usually lasts for me 1year and 2 months only then car acting like a hell Then I bought another one it's ok till now 😁

[@getitdonegarage]

Clean the theotthle body plates as well

[@djdjdjekej7755]

Can u work on my bmw?

[@aikhan4051]

crank shaft sensor

[@cormorant_on_arock7934]

"cramshaft." HAHAHA @Erickthepro 2008

[@cormorant_on_arock7934]

@Erickthepro 2008 and, to be helpful maybe - I was having a problem with my e38 where it would randomly sputter and die, usually while sitting and idling (several times at stop lights! O_O) and sometimes it wouldn't start. That's about all the details I remember. Did some digging on bimmerforums and came across a guy who had the same symptoms to a "t" and he swore that changing the crankshaft sensor would fix it. So I did, and - it did. CRANKshaft sensor (the much much easier one to change on that car). Fixed it excellently. No more idle problems, no more sputtering and dying. That was an e38 though. 1995 740 to be precise.

[@kingsconsultingcarrepair2884]

fuel sender

[@DODGERS-br8tf]

Wow this crap was so dumb bruh how am I supposed to change mines when you fast forward the crap out of it hahahahaha omg smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@langthangusa3473]

khk

[@lisab3396]

Lawd Fadda, I just can't resist!....... Right from the start, this was a very poor video of continuous events and failures! "seemed entirely like guesswork and trial an error troubleshooting! Change anything and everything until we get it right! But,>>>>>>> It brings me back to something my father always said to me....The more bells and whistles you have on a car, the more that can go wrong! "IN OTHER WORDS, KEEP IT SIMPLE"! Fuel Filter?? KEEP IT BLOODY SIMPLE!!!!!!! As for your promotional products, well you do that as much justice as you do the entire video. Shameful in my opinion! The least you could do it look up their website, learn what they have to offer and the benefits of each item. You could not even spend the time let alone explain and detail their product!! If I could give you a 1000.00 dislikes, I would!
