Thanks for the good stuff, Red. I appreciated all the subtle install tips, along with the safety notes. This was probably one of the more comprehensive HPFP install videos I've watched. The only thing I'd ask for in future vids is better camera angles for the items you're talking about. Salamat!
Nice video. I also have one similar to this. I would recommend pulling the fuel pump fuse so you don’t have to worry about fuel spray or just disconnecting the battery!
We did this repair on a 2011 X3 35i 2:33 - had to remove intake. Replaced pump - did not replace intake manifold gaskets because son didn’t want to spend to extra money- car runs good no but it only idles now because the gas pedal doesn’t work now - any suggestions? Thank you for the great video.
Wondering if there is a fuel pump modulator that needs to be replaced? They changed fuel pump but car is still having issues. They say it mite be the modulator and when replacing pump you will need a new modulator. What do you think.
Don't ever use a junkyard pump. You might damage your fuel injectors and from there even the engine. If you do it yourself at least buy the original new pump. eBay rebuilt pumps don't work either. I had customers supply them and I've never seen one work properly
I replaced my hpfp and now I'm getting errors with the quantity control valve2, line break. The adapter was used for an aftermarket Bosch hpfp. It was shrink-wrapped etc. The mixture is too lean. I have an f02 and no one talks about this issue.
They typically don't have that issue. They have wear out in valvetronic system on the early models. It misfires on the cold start and goes away when it warms up. You can do min lift adjustment if it hasn't been done yet.
@@werkstatte-bmwonly9515 yeah thanks i just saw a vid on it .. i can check and see if its not working with a battery .if not working it seem to be just a replacement . but ill do that BMW shop lol
Excellent video in real time. You're an awesome instructor. Will this be exactly the same for a 2011 X3 35? Where is your shop at and how much doe a job like this cost? My son is in Texas and I have to get it done for him. Thanks in advance!!!
Crazy, Im already researching if I can bring tools in the check-in baggage on the plane so I can go do this on his 2011 X3 35. He sent me a video and I can clearly see the HPFP so remove the throttle body and leave the intake in place. This video has got me ordering the part and the plane ticket already. I thought it was gonna be a bigger job than that. My son already replaced the fuel rail sensor with me on Face time but that didnt fix it. The fix is on.
Dealership is way overpriced when it comes to hpfp. My favorite sites would be FCPEURO and ECSTuning. Do not buy one of eBay. I've had so many customers that bought it off eBay and I'd like to say every single one of them failed within a month or never worked at all. They sell as a rebuilt but they simply don't work.
hi I'm having similar issue at light throttle it starts hesitating and jerking hard and If I press the gas harder it smooths out im also getting a 29D9 code that says misfire at low fuel tank level do you think mine is the hpfp as well?
So on my 535xi I get the code p302c and p15df bank 1 and I was wondering if u can help me figure out what exactly might be the problem for those codes?
Typically a failed crankcase ventilation valve would cause whistle (sounding like belt) noise. You can measure the engine vacuum or at least slightly open the oil cap while the engine is running. If noise goes away and you feel an extreme vacuum while trying to open the cap it's your CCV valve.
@@werkstatte-bmwonly9515 Thanks for the response. They checked it in the official service, they said that it works for now, but soon it needs to be changed CCV.there are no errors. but, there is a slight shaking on a cold start. I will be grateful if you write your opinion. many thanks
1. Check your spark plugs. You might have leaking fuel injectors. Make sure they are all the same color and don't have built ups. Try new plugs as well since you'll have them out. If one of the plugs is black and looks different from theirs then find out what causes that on that cylinder. That's a very problematic engine overall but plugs will give you a good feedback about each cylinder.
@@werkstatte-bmwonly9515 Thank you. Tomorrow morning they will give a final answer. Tomorrow I will check the spark plugs and coils and share with you if you don't mind. thanks

Hello Red I have the following OBD DTCs: 0029F2 0029F5 002AEC 002C7F Are they enough to change the HPFP or is the NOX sensor that is leading to put the car in Check engine light and running ∆=1 in an emergency mode ?

Hi there, we don't have diesel e92 in US. Typically nox sensors don't throw the vehicle in limp mode. It's more of the emission system check for the efficiency of the exhaust filter (diesel particular filter). Diesel vehicles also commonly have issues with low fuel pressure pump, fuel filter being clogged and leaking fuel injectors. Id say get is diagnosed by a specialized shop. Diesel models are very complex
@@werkstatte-bmwonly9515 Hi, Thank's a lot for your reply, but my E92 is gasoline not Diesel the N53 is not sold in the US but is NA's direct injected 3 liters 6 cilinder engine. I will change fuel filter "gasoline" !!!! and see Thank you very much BimmerN53
Depending what year. N57 has the chain in the back. M57 has the front chain but also it's a different job. Also required special tools for it. Hpfp on the diesel is pumping a lot more fuel
Hi! Great video! Thanks for sharing! What if i got good pressure but the car is running very rich (smoking black) when you drive it has great power and not rich any more. could it still be the hpfp? I also smell gas in the oil. Thank you!

@@Stiffler1109 Thanks for the feedback. BMW has been rebuilding and changing the part number on the hpfp several times now. So finding the part number might not help. Also BMW dealership takes the core back to rebuild it again and you might have two part numbers on the pump. So you could find the one you aren't looking for. If it doesn't givey out trouble I'd leave it alone and not worry about it. On the other end take care of the oil leak. If the filter housing is leaking it might damage water pump and cooling hoses that could cost you thousands to replace. Water pump failure is extremely common from the leaking filter housing gasket.

700-800 at idle 1700-2600 wot

@@werkstatte-bmwonly9515 lol ok i not familiar with this even when the car is warm and been running its still doing it
Find a BMW specialized shop. That's a very specific item that regular shops wouldn't know about it. Also it takes a BMW scanner to do that adjustment.
@@werkstatte-bmwonly9515 yeah thanks i just saw a vid on it .. i can check and see if its not working with a battery .if not working it seem to be just a replacement . but ill do that BMW shop lol
Same job for the n53 engine?
I don't believe we have n53 in the US. But it looks like a successor of the n52 so should be fairly similar
If i hit 95 ish and it cuts out then keeps running fine do you think its hpfp?
How do you test it manually ?
Please is it necessary to remove the intake manifold ? N53B30A 325i thank you !
yes

Misfire at the low fuel doesn't mean it's a hpfp. You should get it diagnosed properly. Could be as simple as coils and plugs

Hi .Greetings . engine N53 , can the injection pump emit any whistles, like belt rollers. while all the parameters of the injection pump are normal?
