2017 530i Touring fuel pump fail - tank replacement?!
Discussion
Any BMW Techs here please?
My pal’s 2017 530i has broken down in mid France and the BMW dealer there say:
“Following our telephone interview, I send you the additional quote for the repair of your vehicle.
The second gauge is defective there is no transfer of diesel between the two sides of the tank and the gauge does not detach from the tank, so you have to replace the tank.
I can have the piece next week.
If you include the quote
Cordially”
What I assume is a translation issue is diesel for petrol and gauge is in fact the in-tank fuel pump.
Is the in tank pump not replaceable though?
Seems crazy one has to replace the whole tank?!
I know it’s a saddle tank that straddles the prop shaft metalwork but I’d have thought accessible from above?
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Thank you.
