Really useful info my car is doing the same on no2 i assume you replaced the injector and all was well? great vid very detailed explanation you should have many more subscribers good sir !👍🏻
Hello, do you know what volt I should read on the high side of each injector connector when egnition is on ? not running. I have two ECUs in bmw 745d slave read 0.17 volt .master 0.06 on the ECUs. the computer says it’s dde slave injector activation on cylinder 2-3-5-8 that doesn’t activate but in my conclusion viewing the engine from driving position the cylinder 2-3-5-8 is coming from master voltage with 0.06 etc volt. Pretty confusing:(
Thank you for the excellent video. I am going through this issue for the second time on the E70. I found a Bosch test manual online and following that used a high voltage ohmmeter to test the short to earth revealing a low resistance path to ground. the injectors test ok using a standard multimeter - 180kOhm. but the piezo crystal breaks down at the higher working voltage. perhaps when the engine heats up the failure occurs more easily - an easier electrical path. using high voltage ohmmeter connect positive to positive pin on injector and the negative clipped to the injector body less than 10 mega ohms is a fail. from memory I tested all 6 and most were reading in the Giga ohms and the bad one was down at 1 mega ohm so was an obvious fail
Thanks a lot. Mine is at the Mechanic for the exact same problem. Glow plugs as well. My next big worry is the gearbox, do you know if they're a problem on this model?
I have a 2015 328d with the four cylinder turbo diesel. The car seems fine and runs fine but the check engine light comes on about once per oil change and the code is always the same, something about the injectors learning being maxed out. Typically check engine light comes on when cars driven hard for a bit. Typical fix is just to throw a bottle of diesel kleen through it and it goes away for another 4-5000 miles. I cannot recreate the issue after clearing the code. Its tempermental. But any help in locating the source of this issue would be great. The car has 96,000 miles on and has been great since 62,000 miles. This is the only issue i've had so far.
Hi i have question what can be on same car like this one fault code was 3f40 fuel rail pressure sensor, offset test and engine lost power switch off and gearbox went in neutral.
I have a 2007 e90 bmw 325i with all 6 fault codes with injector activasion codes would you reacon it would be the same on mine as its petrol or not any help will be Appreciated
Thank you very much for posting this. I have this problem too - 2007 X5 E70. random cutting out, seems to idle ok but cut out when on load ie put in drive. also number 5 cylinder injector fault. it's now replaced and the car runs, but it is infuriating that it won't just run on 5 cylinders, but cuts out! also, do i need to replace the other 5 injectors to be sure? from comments below it does make sense that the (broken) plastic channel above has allowed water to seep in and drip onto number 5 injector...
If you don't mind me asking who do you usually use for injector service? I have an 02 that sat for a few years but is very low miles and it runs and sounds a little bit rough at idle but perfect everywhere else when driven, I was thinking about just getting all the Piezo injectors reconditioned, Any advice?
Water drips on injector electrical and shorts the coil out. Simple, water and electrical do not mix hence the problem. If you went back to fuse block and ohm tested the wires you will get a low ohms reading hence direct short. Your bench test shop tested injector should be fired they did not test the coil on injector after it was warmed up the coil would have shown it was breaking down.
I have the same problem with my 2009 e70 x5. My mechanic said it's a common issue, usually injector 5 and 6. He said installing a water separation filter will lengthen the life of the injector because when there is always small amounts of water in the diesel tanks and when it over heats the injector for a short time and over time will damage the injector. It's a cheap installation and will give longer life to the injector
Many times the upper engine compartment tray below the windshield cracks and when it rains it funnels water right onto the area where injector 5/6 are and will damage the injector(s) over time.
the same problem here in 335D 2007 e90, I've changed the injectors many times and the problem comes after a week or a month, the ecu has been checked, the wiring harness has been checked, the glow plugs have been changed, but the problem always comes up... maybe next time I'll try it myself by changing the fuel filter.
I think because 5 and 6 are the first injectors to receive the fuel ⛽ and any water will go through them 2 injectors first they are the ones to most commonly fail. My friend has the same issue with his 3.0 Nissan patrol common rail. The cause is from water in the diesel, removing that will give more life for the engine
Could i pick ur brains and expertise of knowledge great video thanks 4 uploading question is this fault 4DDE fuel presupply-presure control tank cleaned injectors serviced/ tested new pressure sensor on rail replaced tank unit still got fault 4DDE could u as kind to offer any advice thanks
So, did this fix the problem? Mine is doing the same, and before I skip over the HPFP or filters, and change injectors, some clarification of this solving the problem would be great.
Good video. I have the same problem with X6 Diesel 2008. But i got P0205 code. When the engine stalling and stopping I see the fuel pump in the tank didn’t work in the same time. There is a link ? Or this is the cause?
I just bought one & it has this issue, seems to only be when I kick its arse a bit but it’s now pretty sensitive even accelerating to 30-40mph too quickly. Hoping to get it sorted asap.
You will have issues again if you dont replace the plastics underneathyour windscreen that lay on that aluminium bars, they keep water from coming down on your injectors
I have the same issues runs for few minutes then cuts out as if when everything is heated up I have zero fault codes anybody got idea’s before I get new injectors
Hi Great video had exactly same fault on my audi A8 Engine cuts completely giving no power steering and no servo on brakes VERY DANGEROUS IF ON MOTORWAY The ecu shuts down if it detects a short circuit in the injector and will not run If you can identify the injector and disconnect the plug connection the ecu will run minus that cylinder. a get you home tip
bmw x3 m57 engine 3f57 fault code scanner tells me DDE Charge - air pressure controller what is pressure controller and where is located. car runs ok but when press on accelerate its not responding like before help will be much appreciated.
Video is a load of rubbish car starts them dies fuel issue inj or pump simple whole world knows that .what long video to explain what everyone probably new .never would of went ECU route the car starts and runs runs out of fuel means fuel supply problem 🤦🏽♂️

Sealing off where the water drips is another task, to prevent it reoccurring.

Thanks. Sometimes you have to be smarter then the computer that is telling you the problem. Nice job!
Well, what was the actual root cause of failure? Injector or glow plugs? or just reset fault codes? What if they are not Bosch injectors?
Hi could I ask what model launch diagnostic your using? Thanks
Hi there,so on this car it was injector problem that needed to be replaced?
Have you done an injector quantity compensation with the scan tool?

For anyone looking through the comments, this error code is also on older bmw diesels such as M47 on E90.

You didn’t say how you solved the problem of the injector and fault code stalling the engine.
Did you just delete code and all was well?
hi i have e60 525d m57n but mi problem is crank not start i dont hawe fault code in obd reder any thinking for that
Hi I am same no fault codes and cutting out did you get to the bottom of it
Cheers!
So, did this fix the problem? Mine is doing the same, and before I skip over the HPFP or filters, and change injectors, some clarification of this solving the problem would be great.
Easy way to check is the resistance on the injector. Should be 180kohms +- 10. My injector 5 came up as 70kohms
What program did u use mate to check that
ty - having the same issue. issue present when engine is warm. while it is cold - works as supposed and no faults.
Is there a way to tell swirl flap blank size without stripping it out first?
I had the same thought
33mm for cars with dpf, 22mm for old generation whitout dpf
I have this code on all injectors after watching this I will get the ecu tested first

That’s what I’m hearing too, usually cylinder 5, sometimes 6

Was it the injectors bro? What scan tool did you use?
Ecu
This is exactly what is happening to my x3 3.0d
It seems like injector 5 and injector 6 is common. Mine was injector 4.
