its bene siting for 4 years so changed batery. puld of fule filta and ternd ignishon on. fule came out of the filta housing. scrood filter back in. loosand fule pipe from filta to pump. no fule. I am going to get a new filta what else do i nead to do

[jbh]

being honest I'm struggling to understand what you have done and not done..


have you renewed the fuel filter? if so did you fill the new one up with diesel? was there fuel coming out the feed pipe to the filter but none coming out between the filter and pump? if so it may need bled up.

[cliff_costa]

sory dislecsic . No i have to biy a new filter tomorow . Do i have to drane desal from the fule tank and have the injectas cleand or do u finc a filta wil do. i want to get it away befor ge changes his mind. Chers for triying with my speling

depends on how much fuel is in it. if there's not a lot stick £20 worth in and try it. when you fit the new filter fill it with diesel before fitting. helps get the fuel in.

other thing to try as well is to loosen one of the injectors while your turning it over that way its allowing the air to escape and fuel to come up you should see the diesel coming out all going well once it starts tighten the injector back up.

is there a manual pump on the top of the filter housing on these to get the fuel up?

[cliff_costa]

no thers no manuall pump i cood sey its onley got 102873km on the clock he tels me he had it from hew bmw did the desale pump 6 yers ago. the only papawork with the car .itr got a quarta of a tankn of full . And he tels me it drove in to the garig . Its eseya to loosan the injecta pip at the pump end will this do or is it beta to start at the inject end and just be dun with tit

when I broke open the fuel system on the wife's vectra diesel I just opened the pipe on top of the injector to get the fuel through.

ok iv changed the fule filter cract the pips of the injecters blid it up. it fiers and dies.if i cepe terning it over untillthe batry becums so low that the fule gage dies then it will fier agan and die. i removed the air filta and put a supliy of gas down the houl wierd the fule pump in the boot up permently. removed the plunger from the electric cut off on the desal pump started the engin it rane on gas but no fule came out number 1injectar that wos cract of ecsept on inishal start for about 5 seconds then it stops evan low the engin wos runing on gas removed the full filter still full cuming out ther. when i got the car it had no key so i took the lock from the door and got one cut dus the e34 have sum sort of anty feft devis or dus this sound like the desal pump is fu..t

Some good advice from James, but your best trying a 5 Series forum like http://forum.bmw5.co.uk/

I recently sold my E34 TDS and there's a few owners on there so they should be able to sort you out

[jbh]

im sure the E34 has coded keys but could be wrong.. but im sure it could be bypassed but tbh im not that clued up on the bmw diesel. as above try the 5 series forum im sure some one on there could keep you right.
