BMW E65/E66 7 Series fuel pump removal/installation

[@bikalam4592]

Hi, thanks for great video, Is there floating unit that tell the dash how much fuel in tank? Mine shows half when the tank is full. What could be the problem?

[@daviddhlamini3093]

Hello Melon. Thank you for the great video. My 2007 BMW 750LI will not start. The car had been working with no problems except that it was hard to start sometimes. No lurching or fluctuating idle or hesitation when driving. I cranks but will not start. I replaced the IVM module and car crankly powerfully but no start. What could be the issue. Please help. Thank you.

All those airbag modules there is fuel cut off function...there is also immo envolved via cas module.

[@Trulte60]

How long should pump prime when turn on ignition? Is it any fuel pressure sensor for checking the pressure?

[@voodoomelons]

About 2 seconds.

[@Trulte60]

Mine use like 10-15sec and it use 18amp (should be 6-8amp), have change fuel filter, that looks clean. What could the problem be?

[@christopherwoods2706]

what type of problems were you having to make you think it was the fuel pump? I think mine is going bad.

[@YAHUAHWarrior61]

Thanks for the video. What is the name of the module in the B pillar? or part number?

[@user-hc3dr6mx2c]

SBSR

[@MrsJc48]

You see that brown hose connected to fuel pump and module. It cracks over time replaced with fuel ejection hose with two hose clamps solved my long cranking starts.

[@youngmalcolm8603]

Is that blue line at the top of the fuel pump the return line? If not where is it located at?

[@autor8866]

Thank you for your great information ,Melon and I am going to check my car I have similar problem, it wont start right away after parking long hour what was its symptom ? what voltage does it come to SBSR? was the airbag light on? you check to see if it has 9V at pin 4, and 1 at Fuel pump with ignition on? any suggestion on SBSR removal? Thanks for your sharing

[@voodoomelons]

+autor Hi there. My airbag light was not on. My SBSR module was not faulty, even though I removed it to check it (to check solder joints etc inside). Yes check for voltage on fuel pump connector to confirm there is power getting to the pump on ignition. Can you hear the pump charging when you unlock the car?

[@autor8866]

+Voodoo Melon , Melon, I'm not familiar with the noise from pump charging, can you educate me? I guess you weren't able to start your car at all, am I correct? my case , I have to check the power supply to the pump when I cant start my car . Do you have any suggestion on SBSR removal? Thanks

[@voodoomelons]

+autor Before my pump failed, when I unlocked the car, the fuel pump would "prime", ie, it would run for a few seconds to get fuel pressure to the engine. It was very loud for 6 months before it failed. WHen I replaced it, the noise is very very quiet. COrrect, my car would not start at all. SBSR removal is explained in the video. I would plug in a code scanner before removing parts, see if you have a bad camshaft position sensor or something similar.

[@clutchkickk6835]

What was the codes that it was throwing ? Very curious to know as I will be buying the same car with a fuel pump issue .

[@voodoomelons]

BangBro I remember it giving a camshaft position sensor error, got a new one and didn't fix the problem. New fuel pump did. Not sure it threw a code at all.

[@ferraripure9970]

BangBro wow because my E66 is doing the same thing getting codes for camshaft position sensor I had all 4 replaced ,Code still came back ,Now it's in the shop ,They have had it for 4 days ,Now they are saying it's the fuel pump , Hopefully this fixes my cam sensor problem

[@AhileyGusani]

Dave Ram did it get fixed?

[@staceywinters4964]

Where do I siphon the fuel from? Under the seat or from the filler on the side?

[@voodoomelons]

Easy enough to do it from under the seat.

[@daveclark1398]

How is that a 740 li...don't remember 740 being that style and those are the 750 n 60 tail lights

[@voodoomelons]

+Dave Clark 740Li E65/E66 wasn't available in the USA, only the rest of the world. This is a facelift E66 740Li from 2005, an Irish car.

[@notsure2715]

Sounds like Conor McGregor fixing a bmw

[@youngmalcolm8603]

what does the tool look like needed to tighten the fuel pump? because mine is leaking

[@voodoomelons]

You just use a flat blade screw driver and a hammer.

[@davidhall3747]

Thanks for telling us that the 7 Series doesn't have a FUEL Pump Relay. It has a Module instead. I'm considering purchasing a 7 series. It will be a challenge- repairing the most sophisticated Car in the World.

[@voodoomelons]

Yep not the most straight forward

[@mrsaddiction18]

Where did you purchase your fuel pump? Do you know any reliable online stores that sell it?

[@voodoomelons]

I went with the dealer, was too many conflicting part numbers online. wasn't cheap, around €450

[@hassoeni21]

At least show use you opened the ring. By a hamer and a flat screw driver!? or by a special wrench?

[@voodoomelons]

Hammer and screwdriver.

[@dawidswin9202]

Great diy !!! 😉 it helped me.

[@voodoomelons]

Dawid Swin glad it helped!

[@mentalwealth2585]

Do you know if the process is similar for a bmw f01?

[@voodoomelons]

Sorry I don't, can't imagine its much different.

[@cperez571]

Just changed mine not doing nothing cranking no turning bout to junk this piece a shit car

[@mr.dozer.7471]

Question hopefully can get back to me quick. This looks like the same fuel pump assembly you can get on eBay for about 60 to $80? A parts house just for the fuel pump itself once 300. Is this what you bought? 2007 750 l i

[@voodoomelons]

There was so many conflicting part numbers out there, I just made a rare trip to the dealer and ordered it there. With a 15% discount it was around €350 I think.
