Is there a part number for that special tool for the back bolt? Where can I get one. And is it pretty much impossible for a shade tree mechaic to do this without the tool? Very thorough and enjoyable video, thanks!
@@ScrappyIndustries Is the dummy plug in back plastic and how tight do I want to install the new tool. Danger of stripping? And how tight fuel line fittings? This is a wonderful video! Thank you!
Even though I will most likely never have to complete this job, your video was still excellent. I’m glad you decided to put more time into RUclips, because your videos are amazing, and your channel has became one of my favorites.
I don’t miss working on cars anymore. They got a lot more involved. Give me a crane ,forklift ,dozer anytime. Nice job brother you have the patience of a Saint.
Sam, the design engineers, no matter the make of a vehicle have no clue how difficult some things are to service and people wonder why the cost of repairing vehicles is so expensive. Sam a good video, and want to Wish you and your Family,a very Merry Christmas 😊
19 years ago I used to have a black lab and a yellow lab. They were brothers, but a year apart in age. The black lab was from the first litter and the yellow lab was from the second litter. 👍🏻
The 3.0 Duramax in my Sierra is common rail. Common rail is supposed to be much better, provide more horsepower and much more efficient. Nice video Sam. Cheaper than having the dealer do it. And you know it's done right.
Friend, I worked with a Singles Again ministry in my church. It would break your heart to know some of the stories I heard from newly divorced and widowed women. Some did not even know how to write a check. Some had no idea how to put gas in their car. And on and on. I worked a maintenance manager for a trucking company and got one of my mechanics to volunteer a Saturday. We had all the men and women who were interested to bring their cars to the church parking lot and he and I went over every single one of them looking for bad rad hoses, fan belts, etc, etc and instructed them when and where to take them for regular service. And yes, there were some men just as ignorant.
I'm no expert on fuel pumps. If it were my vehicle I'd send it to area diesel service and have them go through it. They say it checks out put it on the spare parts shelf. The fuel pump on my wifes diesel Jeep liberty failed while she was driving it. Replaced it ourselves. The bosch pump was 1200 rebuilt. I forget what a brand new one cost. Great video keep them coming.
I owned a beemer once…never again…I’m not afraid to wrench my vehicles but bmw? Never again too expensive to fix and after watching the struggle you went through just reinforced the fact that they’re not worth it in my opinion. You’re a better man than me!
If I was a cynical person, I'd say it's almost like modern manufacturers don't want home mechanics/independent garages working on their equipment Equipment that their own franchisee's can't cope with if it's not 10 years old or younger I wonder how much of this stuff will be around in 30 years time? Very very nice job, Sam. And a very happy Christmas and peaceful New Year to you and your family
As an owner of the previous generation of this car, I'm really grateful for my front mounted CP3 right now. 😅 F15 has the 8 speed and nicer interior and easier steering than the E70, but they have a lot of other drawbacks unfortunately.
I replaced the CP3 on my LBZ Duramax. The amount of STUFF You have to take off to get to it is mind boggling! It mounts to the back side of the timing cover down in the valley between the heads, but you have to take the front timing cover off to pull the gear off so you can get it out. I’m not a professional mechanic but my father was and I spent my entire life with a wrench in my hand (or in my mouth when I was cutting teeth) and it took me 13 hours to change it.
Sam I'm sorry but I find it funny that your wife or your mom drives a BMW it just seems wierd in a country/farming lifestyle. That being said you prove to have no fear in working on high end vehicles or anything else for that matter. Very impressive.
Good video. What a pain in the rear. That is a Better Made Wreck for you. Take something simple and make it impossible. The struggle is real. First one I worked on was a 2 hour job to replace a headlight. Absolutely horrible. Best advice, Unscrew the radiator cap. Back the car out. Pull a new car in and replace the radiator cap. Lol. Merry Christmas to You and Your Family. Cheers.
Those jobs where you have to "look" with your fingers and not the eyes are most fun don't you think.😉 Great video as always Sam. Merry Christmas and a happy new year .
I loved my BMW's, but they were a pain to work on. But the way they drive so makes it worth it. Had to sell my 535i when I moved up to Montana. Too much snow & not enough ground clearance, so I bought a 4x4 truck.
RAM recalled 340K 2019-2020 Cummins trucks to replace the CP4.2 with a revised CP3.3. The CP4 pump piston cups will rotate in the bore and scrub the roller & cam creating a giant glitterbomb. They are not to be trusted running higher RPM's/pressures. Because they don't isolate the lubrication fuel from the engine/injector fuel supply, the whole fuel system is trashed when they let go.
Man!, what a nightmare. Make sure you write all of the missing information that you need to do this replacement on the instructions for next time. Hopefully there won’t be a next time. Merry Christmas to you and your family Sam. Take care and stay safe.
Hey Sam. Merry Christmas from Texas. Great job on the pump. I just want to say, you don't have to keep working blind like that. Get a depstech endoscope. You and Matt @dieselcreek both need one. Get yourselves a cheap android tablet with Wi-Fi and make it a kit and BOOM you can get an eye on all those hidden spots hands free. I love mine and I only have the cheapest one they have. You could have actually looked down inside that cover on the back of the engine if you wanted to. You can look in bore holes down the intake inside injector holes, inside an engine bore and they are waterproof to. And apparently they are non sparking because mine has been in a gas can with no effect. Robert from Texas ...
I suggest seeing if Area Diesel Service will buy it from you and sell it as a refurbished pump. They could always go through it just to make sure there's nothing wrong with it, but I'm pretty sure that if they watch your video they will know if they need to touch it or not.
Towed in a customer with a locked up engine, i had the tech put it on the rack. Checked oil, not a drop! Asked customer who changed the oil last? Customer "oil change? What are you taking about?" Long story short, customer was never told to change the oil,customer had know knowledge of the proper maintenance of a vehicle. Customer never had the oil changed in 21k miles and locked it up!. 2015 jeep grand Cherokee. 6cyl.3.2
The lubricating properties of modern diesel fuel isn't much different than gasoline. In the old days, diesel fuel spilled around a fill cap would leave a film that would collect dust but now it's more like a cleaning solvent that doesn't leave a trace.
Congrats to you. And yes, there is a difference in diesel or gasoline pump pressure. Diesel needs the pressure so it can atomise (form a mist). Gasoline just needs higher pressure than the combustion pressure. Can anyone tell me at what point gasoline is injected? So your engines are before 1870/1900? At that time doxford began building reversible marine engines. Part of this was that a common fuel rail was used. Because of timing the injection.
Nice job, these techs nowadays must have to be contortionist or at the very least double jointed to get into some of the places they do. Interesting vid to watch, learned a couple of things from it sir, thanks.
Yes you can use a bunch of universals and extensions to reach a fastener, but at what point does it affect the accuracy of the torque wrench or does it? Good video.
Many times, factory directions will go into detail on things that are obvious and leave out the details on things that are not obvious. If they do provide bolt sizes, it will often be thread sizes not bolt head sizes and types.
Although its probably fine, I'd be worried about if gas washed out the cylinders when it wasn't able to ignite and scored them. But I could be totally wrong, and she runs so I'm probably wrong lol.
its not, the cp4 has been shown to be a giant piece of crap on anything it has been installed on. If I was forced to run one, id be adding a lubricity additive to the fuel to try to keep the pump from eating itself.
"Inconvenience " is BMW's middle name. I'm surprised the instructions didn't start with: 1) Pull the transmission 2) Drop the K-member with engine and front suspension 3) Install new pump 4) Reinstall in reverse order
That was exactly VW's procedure to replace the fuel/vacuum pump on my sons V10 TDI Touareg. Their book time was 20 hours. I got it done in ~4 hours without dropping the drivetrain.
If your torque wrench was just too big, but you had enough clearance for a long handled socket wrench, you could have made your regular socket wrench into a torque wrench. Measure back a set distance from the socket center to the end of the handle, and then use something like a fish scale or strain gauge to apply the right amount of force at that point. Some math is going to be needed, so it might make it a little more difficult for some people.

Yes the tool was 83302448914B I see it available online. Yes you definitely need it. I think there are different ones though depending on the year
@@ScrappyIndustries Is the dummy plug in back plastic and how tight do I want to install the new tool. Danger of stripping? And how tight fuel line fittings? This is a wonderful video! Thank you!

As a retired BMW tech they would have heard me in Munich screaming ...kudos to you for your patience and your thorough explanation ❤❤
I enjoy watching someone work on their vehicles and maintain a clean and organized shop. Great job!
I don’t miss working on cars anymore. They got a lot more involved. Give me a crane ,forklift ,dozer anytime. Nice job brother you have the patience of a Saint.
You know if it was easy, everyone would be doing it! You have a ton of information to give to everyone who would want to attempt this repair.
You are doing amazing on your videos!! Area Diesel rocks!! Thanks for sharing
Your video style is so informative. I learn about all sorts of things that I had no intention of learning when I began watching the video.
There's our man from Scrappy Industries... Working on SCRAP once again!
Sam, the design engineers, no matter the make of a vehicle have no clue how difficult some things are to service and people wonder why the cost of repairing vehicles is so expensive. Sam a good video, and want to Wish you and your Family,a very Merry Christmas 😊
Almost like working on a jet engine while it's installed in the plane.
That is ignorance or a lie... Engineers do know. What YOU don't know or refuse to acknowledge are ALL the other constraints we are balancing.
19 years ago I used to have a black lab and a yellow lab. They were brothers, but a year apart in age. The black lab was from the first litter and the yellow lab was from the second litter.

Enjoyed the video! I hate what the car industry has done with all this new crap!! Your a better man then me..
Met a woman in her mid-60's this last summer who had never filled a gas can with fuel, never ran out of gas or had to mow grass. The struggle is real
Sounds like my wife.

Very very nice job, Sam.
And a very happy Christmas and peaceful New Year to you and your family
That's exactly the case
Love you guys! Wish I knew enough about mechanics to do what you and Matt do. Enjoy every moment

That is BMW for you Sam.
Marry Christmas everyone 🤶 🤶 🎄 🎄
It's astounding the amount of components the jam into an engine bay, battling for space with the wizardry found behind the dashboard.
I think the pump is fine, no need to spend $1100. Until you need too. But I thoroughly enjoyed your video.
Great video my mate thanks for sharing it wishing you and your family and friends all the best for Christmas and the future ahead
👍🏻🍻

As a aircraft mechanic you see what we deal with sometimes, you also tired out the pups they needed a nap watching you work lol
I wish Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Greetings from Germany.
NICE LOOKING SET OF FENDER GUARDS
Good job Sam! Merry Christmas to you and your Family!
Made for good viewing bro. Safe travels to you and family over the festive season. Ken. 🎄
I’m not a long video fan, but I enjoy your channel.
Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas Sam
Sam I'm sorry but I find it funny that your wife or your mom drives a BMW it just seems wierd in a country/farming lifestyle.
That being said you prove to have no fear in working on high end vehicles or anything else for that matter.
Very impressive.
Farming can be incredibly lucrative.

Merry Christmas @Scrappy Industries from a fan in NewZealand.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Now you know would you taken a chance on the pump if it was run a little longer with the gas great watch Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄👍👋🇨🇦
Notorious for check engine lights too! Some BMWs you will never get check engine light to stay off!

Good job
Hey Sam. Merry Christmas from Texas.
Great job on the pump.
I just want to say, you don't have to keep working blind like that.

Damn, Sam. Going in deep there. Nice work. Leave it to BMW’s engineers to require that special tool. Interesting design though.
Hey! Good morning Sam! Merry Christmas to you and your family!! 🎄✨

Make sure that you replace the braided engine ground cables (6?) Of them.these will fail and leave you stranded. I use regular battery cable
This is the reason why you need to add 2t oil into diesel fuel, waay better lubrification !
Awesome!
👍👍👍👍👍
The GDI HPFP is totally different that that CP4. The GDI run between 2200 and 3600 psi depending on application.
Way to hang in there! 🤓
When bmw skips those step dose the customers get the break on booked time also
Merry Christmas happy new year to you and your family pat the shop hippos on the head !
God love BMW - my belly pans are littered with sockets, spanners, and bolts!

Whats the name of that special tool or where can i get it from
I am surprised there were not codes you had to use to make the computer happy
I didn't think it really ran after the fuel contamination. I never would have replaced the pump.
Congrats to you. And yes, there is a difference in diesel or gasoline pump pressure. Diesel needs the pressure so it can atomise (form a mist). Gasoline just needs higher pressure than the combustion pressure. Can anyone tell me at what point gasoline is injected?

Nice job, these techs nowadays must have to be contortionist or at the very least double jointed to get into some of the places they do. Interesting vid to watch, learned a couple of things from it sir, thanks.
I can feel your pain just watching through RUclips!, I was just confused how that pump is mounted in but you had to screw in that special tool?
Yes you can use a bunch of universals and extensions to reach a fastener, but at what point does it affect the accuracy of the torque wrench or does it? Good video.
Any time the universal is off axis. 😂
Many times, factory directions will go into detail on things that are obvious and leave out the details on things that are not obvious. If they do provide bolt sizes, it will often be thread sizes not bolt head sizes and types.
Dont you have to lock the engine before change the pump ?
I didn’t because it is keyed so it really doesn’t matter where when engine is when you change it
So Area Diesel didn't offer a core return?
Nice job very interesting. how was the pizza
Does this have anything to do with one of your old videos when there was gas put in the car? I remember you having to drain it.
Yup. This is a preemptive injector pump swap for peace of mind.
You need a VR headset connected to a flexible camera.
Although its probably fine, I'd be worried about if gas washed out the cylinders when it wasn't able to ignite and scored them. But I could be totally wrong, and she runs so I'm probably wrong lol.
Lol possible but I think it’s perfectly fine
Hey, wait a minute ... I saw you take 3 parts off a BMW engine without unplugging a sensor trace ... how'd you do that?? 🤣🤣
Surprised there arent reverse threads involved somewhere.....Those German engineers love to make things complicated....
If I'm not mistaken, that cp4 fuel pump is not as reliable as some claim it to be
its not, the cp4 has been shown to be a giant piece of crap on anything it has been installed on. If I was forced to run one, id be adding a lubricity additive to the fuel to try to keep the pump from eating itself.

So glad I don't work on these late model cars! I'll stick with the muscle cars of the 60's
Doesnt matter he sports a John Deere hat, nuf said lol.
Wonder what German engineer thought it’s a brilliant idea and put the timing gears at the rear of the motor.
He was angry at the world. I guess you could call him a sour kraut.
Also, CAT has some rear gear train engines as well.
It was marketing. Do you know how much extra they can charge for a timing set change.
All of them.
He knew he would never have to work on it.
