Yes, disconnecting the pipes from the old filter can be a bit tricky. Two good jobs done there, good to hear the car is running smoother! Thanks for watching

Nice one man, a good job to get done

M Tech Guy keep up the vids

Certainly a service item that often gets overlooked, but worth doing especially in a car with these engines. Thanks for watching!

I know that feeling, did the same with my old E46 touring that had no lock barrel in the tailgate! I know the pull cord you mention, great idea for a vid, thanks for the tip 👍

Thanks for watching man!

Thanks for watching man & the positive comment, glad you liked the video

Nice one brother 👍

Thanks for checking out the video Esperanza

Nice one, thanks for watching!

@@MTechGuy Thank you for showing! 😅👍🏽

Removing the gas cap will relive the tank to atmospheric pressure, but the fuel pressure will remain in the lines. If you remove the fuel pump fuse/relay you’d have to run the engine to relive the pressure in the line- something I wouldn’t recommend with this engine. If you let the car sit for a few hours there isn’t that much pressure there

The pressure isn’t that bad, it’s the volume of fuel in the line spilling out that’s the tricky bit!

I did mine with somewhere between a quarter and half tank. I let it sit overnight, disconnected the battery, and barely had any fuel spill out. It was very manageable.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fuel filter that blocked before. If it’s fuel related it’s more likely the fuel pump itself, or the pressure regulator (which is part of the fuel filter assembly) Could be any number of other possible causes though, scan for codes and go from there

Position it on there the same as the original you remove, there is a tab to locate it

Bought the parts for this job from Pelican Parts in North America. Price can vary quite a bit depending on where you buy from.

Possible it may be caught up with the hose routing? When you have it out, check the sender on the new pump to ensure it looks ok and isn’t faulty out the box. Make sure the sender arm can travel freely when you reinstall it

@@MTechGuy i felt like it was free when i reinstalled it but you see, maybe i should pay more attention to that. I also think that it could come from a bad sensor. I ordered another one and will replace it in 350km.

Yes, apart from the difference in the back seat design, and having less room to work with it being a coupe, it’s the same 👍

@@MTechGuy thanks for the reply. Yeah I just couldn't find anything on the Web about it. I'm guessing all the listed part numbers will be fit for purpose on the E63 too. Many thanks again

Yes, same part numbers 👍

Bosch

@@MTechGuy Ok ... did you know bosch stopped making fuel injectors for our cars .. discontinued from what im being told! ...

No worries. I don’t have anything in the pipeline for the fuel pump. It’s a very similar process as the filter, but it’s connected to the filter, so the filter has to be accessed too

No, same side

No programming required

@@MTechGuy Minha maior dificuldade está sendo resolver o sistema de combustível... Ele está sem pressão e fica parado do lado esquerdo dentro do tanque.

Might have fuel cut off due to bad ignition coil or ionic sensor. Read the codes and go from there

@@MTechGuy replaced all 10 coil packs and swapped ionic but no change. Mis fire all bank 2 ):

@@951rollincivicsi Sounds like it could be an injector/fuel issue, or compression? Sometimes these engine break valve springs. Check your plugs are ok, then I’d swap injectors from bank to bank and see how it behaves

Cheers Tyler, I do have a head mount now which I use now and again 👍

@@MTechGuy awesome ! ;) love your work :)

I know, right! Got to be replaced though

Possibly fuel filter or fuel pump. Could also be related to fuel pump fuses or fuel pump module. I would start with the fuses, and chuck in a new fuel filter if it’s not had one for a long time, and go from there. Keep in mind the fuel filter has to come out to replace the fuel pump so it’s worth considering doing both while your at it, but of course it comes down to time and how much $$$ you want to spend in one go 👍

@@MTechGuy thanks for that, I have ordered a new fuel filter.

Started the e60 m5 this morning, started no problem but only lasted 20 seconds died as though it had no fuel. I removed the rear seats and all the underside is in factory condition which makes me think the fuel pump and filter have never been changed. Tried starting the car again but it only lasted 5 seconds. I don’t hear any noises from the fuel pump, so have decided to change the pump as well as the filter. The car is on 105,000 miles.Do you agree? Thanks Andy

It sounds like a fuel pump issue, I would check the fuel pump fuses before fitting a new pump though. Sometimes a faulty pump will work in the early failure stages if you get someone to hit the fuel tank while cranking. Check out one of my previous videos on E60 M5 fuel pressure issues- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJ2Cl5l1s7-Wd6c.html Good luck 👍

@@MTechGuy new fuel pump and filter arriving tomorrow, was just wondering if anything to do with a brake fluid change would cause the car to stall after 20 seconds on first start up and 5 seconds on start ups after that? The car had brake fluid change 2 days before my problems started. Would a bad brake booster sensor cause my stalling issues? Thanks andy

Hi Art, no they are just normal push connectors 👍

@@MTechGuy Thank you sir..

I have a feeling could just be a Ignition auxiliary circuits relay or fuel pump relay tho will do that first to see if it does the trick

Could be any number of issues. Running the car under 1/4 tank of fuel, or a really dirty fuel filter can both contribute to blowing the fuse (the pump to overheating) If the pump & filter are both original it’ll be a good time to replace them- the filter has to come out to get the pump out anyhow. The noise could be SMG pump, stereo amp or leak detection pump (usa) or faulty fuel pump relay, among other things

@@MTechGuy have ordered a few relays as they are cheap and can have them as spares anyway will start there and see what happens when they come tomorrow if not ill start with the fuel pump and filter i think hopefully i can get to the bottom of it over the weekend car has been sitting over the winter also so a full look over it is needed

Nice one, good luck getting it sorted

@@MTechGuy If not ill be ordering the fuel pump and fuel filter and doing that over the weekend just need to find or make a tool to take off the metal ring might actually do a video also the more out there the better then im going to book it in for rod bearings dont feel confident enough to do that myself

Yes same process, just with tighter access being a coupe

M Tech Guy do you have any videos on changing the fuel injectors when is it recommended to change them on an s85? Thank you

Not so far. Failure usually occurs due to fuel contamination rather than the injectors themselves becoming worn or degraded, so no real set interval. Cleaning them can help if they’ve become ‘dirty’ over time

One more of you do plugs and injectors gradually weaken until failure or do they just one day fail completely I want to change all mine on my m6 just because

Degrade gradually over time for the most part. Change them out for new if you want 100% certainty

None, I replaced it as preventative maintenance. Car was approx. 15 years old and had approx. 120,000 Km’s on the clock

Good job to get done, nice find on the Bosch OEM filter. Same one I used in the video, although from a BMW parts supplier in the US 👍

Finally got around to doing it, and a few extra hints. My car has the heated rear seats, so if you’ve got these then make sure you disconnect the cables under the seat, one on each side. Secondly - threading the seat belt through the hole in the sound insulation and over the head rest is a great way to gently hold this out of the way without obstructing the work area or damaging the sound proofing. And finally- whilst it is impossible to connect the hoses incorrectly, it is possible to route the two long hoses the wrong way and impede the free movement of the fuel sender. So its worth paying attention to how they are routed when you take the old filter out. Thanks for another great video 👍🏻

@@marknewman9837 Thats great, thanks for the extra tips, I’m sure it will help a few folk out 👍

It’s all good man 👍
