Welcome, The F15 X5 is in need of some maintenance, the list has grown quite bit, this is the first video of the F15 2014-2018 X5 Diesel Maintenance series Im going to be recording over next few days. Hopefully this content can be helpful in performing some of the maintenance procedures that need attention 😊. If you have a diesel make sure to change your fuel filter every 25-30k miles 👍, diesel fuel is very dirty in North America compared to other parts of the world, it gets clogged up very quickly.
X5 Maintenance playlist I have compiled so far of some of the common items on the BMW F15 X5 2014-2018: • Bmw F15 X5 35D Diesel ...

Thanks. Have a 14 535d w/57k on it. Bought it w/36k . Egr and intake manifold was changed thru recall but will remove in the future. Going to get on this as I was wondering when the filter needed changing. AND, thanks!
Hi, Filter it’s recommended to change every 30k
Thanks alot bro i was worry about the priming very helpful video
No problem glad it became useful 👍 thank you 🙏

Great video! Easy procedure, and nice to have the visual reference before getting into the project. I probably will use a screwdriver to free the hose from the old filter instead of pliers (I cringed a little when I saw it). Looking forward to more of your maintenance vids. On a side note I like your blackout pieces on the front. 👍
Thanks 🙏 glad it was helpful. 😊
I turn the vehicle on to auxiliary but not run the engine. You should hear the fuel pump working. Let it finish and then turn it back off. Do this 4 or 5 times to prime the pump and then start. It should fire right up
Generally speaking that would work on other bmws however on diesel pump does not turn on when you put it in the auxiliary mode, it only turns on when it’s it’s cranking on the diesel bmw models, it only does that in gas versions.
@@MotorsportInspired thanks for the info!
Nice video. I plan to do mine next month. It’s very helpful.
Thank you for another great video 👍🎄
Thank you sir 🙏
Thanks
I thought you needed to prime it so the HPFP doesn’t run without fluid at all?
when changing filter fuel does not drain all the way from HPFP therefore always some left in there it only looses some of the pressure, so it never really runs dry when you first start it, it just takes 1-2 seconds to build back pressure in line, if you watch video carefully notice in after filter replacement first start up if fired within 2 seconds that is really quick and thats been the case every single time I changed this filter prior, its highly unlikely to damage the HPFP in that short amount time, specially that theres still some fluid in it it so it not really running dry in that 2 second time fame. I agree if you change the line hpfp then most definitely you would have to prime it but in this situation its an overkill.
Someone did prime after the new fuel pump installed and the fuel line hooked up. But you mentioned prime should be done before the exit line is connected. Which one is the correct method?
If you are going to prime then it’s done before the line is connected, but like I said in the video it’s not really necessary becuase it doesn’t take long at all to get it to start back up, and to prime it it’s long procedure to activate the pump by its self without engine. FYI I gone this filter replacement 4 times already in last 130k and mine pump is still running so clearly it’s not necessary. Otherwise it would fail long time ago.
Thanks for the video. I’m planning on doing a delete and was wondering where you got your high flow cat from. Thanks
No problem 👍, here’s link to cat install video and link in description where to get it. czcams.com/video/G50GR7P5V2s/video.html
I gotta give you my new f80 so you can fix all issues for me and for everybody watching
Thanks for the video. What size of replacement clamp for fuel hose is needed?
No problem 🙂, honestly I don’t remember I just eye balled it whatever seemed to fit 😁and was the right size
Get clamp that's 8-16mm
Fuel hose is 9mm iD and 13 OD so it'll fit
Can somebody tell me I am in the uk right hand drive will mine be on the passenger side thanks
Hi, No it’s still on the left hand side on your car
Yes
Hey man! How's your X5 doing? Been a while since you posted.
I've got an N57 X5 with 118k on it.. A bit afraid of chains/fuel pump going bad..
Hey, It’s been good seeing this far 👍 running perfect I’m at 126k right now running strong 💪 👌
Hi
I have a 2014 X5 f15. I opened the underside panel on the driver side and looked under but can't find the fuel filter. I can see the compressor but no filter. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Make sure you take off the front left cover, filter is directly under driver seat
If it’s not a diesel it doesn’t have a fuel filter
Lhd it's under the driver side. Rhd it's under the pass side
Thanks
how often you change fuel filter?
Hi Every 40k 30k to ensure fuel system is as clean as possible, as it is very sensitive and expensive to replace is for example high pressure fuel pump goes out
Soooo slow, speed it up my dude
Thanks
