This is very educative . Actually I just brought a 2009 bow x5 v8 4.8i As soon as I got home I parked it turn the engine off, when I come back to show it to my wife , it would not start. Now I am surfing youtube to see if I can fix it myself. your video help a lot, Thank you ! I am going to try the fuse box and relay. .. God bless .
I´m so grateful you posted this video because i had the same exact problem with my BMW X5 2007. In cold weather it wouldnt start. I replace the fuel pump relay and it works better then ever. Thank you so much God Bless
I would like to thank you for sharing this video, I bought my x5 2007 last week already aware of this problem of cold starting, I took it in some places here, including specialized in bmw, but no one was able to solve this problem due to the fact that it did not present errors from the central , I will replace it tomorrow, thank you very much !!!
2009 BMW X5 4.8i with progressive hard start in cold weather. No codes on scan with Autophix 7910 BMW scanner. Battery was 6 yrs old, replaced with new and registered. No fix. Perplexing situation with no codes. Viewed your video, replaced relay...starts like should. For the people wondering where to get the relay, I found two at local auto parts stores that assure correct fit for my model. Advanced Auto parts Carquest premium mutipurpose relay #RAA1749, and Autozone Duralast relay #20843. Both are USD $ 31.99. Equal quality. Thanks for a meaningful video and your help.
Hi Sir, same issue appear in my car too..BMW X5 E70 2009, crank but won't start, it's happen very frequently....once I saw this video, I try to change my Fuel Pump relay, so far very good, 3days ready , crank just start and Drive...Thanks for ur Help Sir. Thanks again
Good day thanx for the vid...I have been having these problem for months now i even removed the tracking device but I will go buy a relay now and replace it
Hi I've got issue with bmw e70 3.0d not starting. Fault code 6295. I've replace that green relay but still no start. Ive manually powered the pump and it still pumps fuel fine but there's no power getting to the pump. Is there anything else im missing? Thanks
I have a 2003 BMW X5 3.0 and it has nothing to do with cold weather. The car shuts off and random moments like when I’m at the traffic light or making a turn to go … No mechanic seems to know what it is bccs it’s not throwing a code … my check engine light goes off and on as well … I’m reading that it could either be a bad fuel pump … a cam sensor or a fuel pump relay? The car starts back up after I sit for a couple of minutes so it’s not the alternator
Try the fuel pump relay. On my scan tool I watch the fuel pump voltage go to zero a second before it stalls. So I can see something turning off the fuel pump. Start with the relay, because when they go bad they also underdeliver the demand on the pump. My pump demand from the car was 4000rpm and the pump was only spinning 3000rpm so my fuel pressure was low. Also, after it stalls again feel if the relay is hot. Tell-tale sign of failure.
what an odd place to put a relay. There's literally a fuse box next to it that they could have kept the relay, they simply had to make it a bit bigger. What the heck were they thinking.
Hey man, my e70 cranks couple of times wont stars after 3 or 4 times trying to starts then starts. Do you think that can be the same problem? Thank you very much
I have a E70 X5 diesel and my fuel pump relay is just to the left of the red tool. Mine is the big black relay. You can replace it with a Narva relay but make sure they give you one that is 70amp.
Hello, i nearly have the same problem but not in turning on the engine, the engine starts normally but my rpm shakes by dropping up/down with a a jump in the car. Do you think out of your experience it can be the same part ? Thanks
Is it hard to clean it, or do i need to take something off? I mean something big? Thanks for the replay bro, i appreciate. I.m going to clean the vanos next week and see if there is the issue...
@@bobbov30 I advise you to give it to a specialist to clean it, it’s not a very easy job to do it urself. They can evaluate if it needs cleaning or changing. Your welcome
Ok so basically was driving home from work in my x5 e70 drove home now problem was in cold weather. Parked it up went to go back to work 2 hrs later came up with abs ebv 4x4 airbag warnings ignition goes on but no starting anyone had this problem before? Or knows what issue is please.
That’s the big black relay next to the red tool. Pulled mine as it’s a diesel, so is on the same relay, and when tried to crank, 4x4 and other warnings came up.

@@farshidolumi not so fast... from 2010 and up many details are different. some relays on the 2013 model do not even exist anymore or may have been replaced by different ones. The green one that was replaced on this video, do not exist on my 2013 model. Although the fuse box is exactly the same, some plugs that you see around it on this video, have been changed.
@@thierryg3049 That is my point. On the 2010 model you have the green relay, but I have the 2013 model and there is not that green relay. They have replaced it with another piece of electronic hidden under that bay, I can't remember the name, but costs 300+ dollars and apparently it never goes bust. In the end I had a starter motor issue. The EOM starter was only 130$, but it required to remove manifold and plenty of other parts, + a reverse elbow wrench and it took me about 8 hours of work. After replacing the starter, the car turned on with half press of the button.
Thx for the vid, (2009 BMW X5 3.0) I replaced mines and my vehicle started up but I noticed it seems like my miles to the gallon number goes down a lot faster (300 to 295) a 5 mile difference when I only drove about 2 miles, has anyone else experienced this?
