E46 Build Ep. 6 (Fuel Pump troubleshooting and replacement)

[@AsadKhan-lm6yr]

Just changed mine. Bought the part from a guy breaking his car! Was reassured by the fact that your girlfriend could do it…so why not me?!! She’s a gem. Gotta say you guys are a lovely couple. Have yourselves a great life together!! ❤ Thanks again

[@camerontruskett511]

It's good to see that you are actually teaching your girlfriend what to do in case something in future was to stuff up she will know what to do, ❤ love it keep on teaching her & she maybe able to show you a thing or two in the future, well done mate

My e46 just did the same thing today, feels like the fuel pump. Thanks for the video

[@slightlymodified501]

Hope it helped!

[@ater_leporidae5695]

@@slightlymodified501 exactly my problem also, hope it helps, will see. great video man keep it up

[@Turb0_J0]

This was super helpful thank you!!!🙏🏼

What does it mean if I see 4v at the pump before even putting the key into the ignition. Then 12v when turning it on for a couple seconds?

[@998RC]

Great video, but can you post a link to the fuel pump you got, and has it been fine since?

[@AsadKhan-lm6yr]

Hi. Do you have the link for the fuel pump you bought for an e46 M3 please?

[@lexiaontube]

Does it still run with the el cheapo pump ?

[@AsadKhan-lm6yr]

And thanks again for the video

[@mhellcess4532]

Nice video man do you have a link? Thanks

[@muchgreatness7497]

Hi Man, I have 9v at the pump (it doesn't seem to be turning at all) and I also have a no-start condition (cranks but doesn't turn over). Was working fine 2 days ago, nothing's been done to the car. Any ideas?

[@slightlymodified501]

@@muchgreatness7497 see if it starts on brake cleaner.

[@muchgreatness7497]

@@slightlymodified501 I did do the brake cleaner step but it didn't start and I think that I also have an issue with the EWS system (maybe low voltage). Because of the EWS problem, I may also have no ignition, which would explain why it didn't turn over. What do you think?

[@kristiansamaj3665]

Hello I have problem with my 320d fuse is good but it doesn't give electrics to the pump what it can be ? And pump is good I try the pumpu start with battery on + and - and it goes (Sorry for my bad English)

[@alexluz7023]

i bet the code was for "fuel pump left the house"... when he tested the wiring unpluged and turned on acc (key on first position) looking for the 12v on the plug.. the ecu probably notice there was no pump.

[@bige673]

Where did you buy the fuelpump from

[@geramane5184]

What was the code? For the engine light ?

Hope it helped 🤙🏻

Man I can’t get the dam pump to come out. Like every video I watch as soon as they have that collar off and the hose disconnected it just lifts right out. But I’m over here yanking in the thing watching the whole area around it lift up and the thing just will not come out

[@slightlymodified501]

Clean off the area and try the use a flat head or a trim tool to break the seal. Its a tight fit it will come out

[@talbotd27]

@@slightlymodified501 I actually just got it off, which is great but now my concern is that I saw a good amount of little dirt and whatnot had fallen down into the tank. I’m a little concerned about starting the car without trying to get that dirt/debris out of there

[@slightlymodified501]

@@talbotd27 replace your fuel filter too. Shouldn’t be too bad

[@talbotd27]

@@slightlymodified501 alright, will do. Thanks for your help, nobody else was awake right now and I really wanted to get the job done tonight

[@supaxlvztr]

It’s that simple huh? My shop was trying to charge me something like $2,000 for the fuel pump and labor 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@slightlymodified501]

200 is highway robbery for a fuel pump in this car

[@youonlyliveonce2556]

I was having the same issue replace my fuel myself, fuel pump was $160 OEM this video helped me a lot , I save me $400 in labor ,

[@yaghiyahbrenner8902]

don't ever do what this guy does "rub fuel on the rubber gasket" its stupid! you need to use grease. fuel will dry out the rubber and crack the seal.

[@slightlymodified501]

I get what you are saying. But in this case the rubber is fuel resistant. Same with injector O-rings. Any o-ring that touches fuel needs to be Viton or Nitrile.
