Nice short video ...doing the same thing to my F15. Great images of the work area. Don't use brake cleaner ever on rubber though ...even plastic...you re going to weaken it. Google this so next time you avoid it.
Thanks for the tips! I've always used brake cleaner for everything over the years, even for cleaning my hands when I'm lazy lol. I'll keep that in mind next time.
why is it necessary to have diagnostic tools for prime? just switch the ignition on and it will take care of itself, and the pump turns off when the required pressure is reached.
Tune my Euro now has a plug and play fuel filter kit for the E70 and E90 that gives options for 1 and 5 micron filters and they last much longer than the factory filter. I'll be upgrading to that kit soon.
@@sullygtx9350 thanks so much. Did that work out though? I heard that the 2 are connected electronically and that you’ll get default codes without the whole thing installed.
@@Bmwguy2011 On youtube, search "E70 free egr delete". You can do that trick and replace the EGR with a race pipe without a tune. However when you disable the EGR without a tune, your car will try to do an active regeneration just about every time you drive it which kills fuel economy. I can't speak for removing the DEF system without a tune. I left it hooked up until I went fully deleted and tuned.
Did ProTool stop priming automatically? I’m using it to bleed, like you, but it’s been priming for almost 10 minutes. Not sure if you need to manually cancel it after some time. Thanks!
I just went and primed my pump to check it out for you. It only primed for 2 minutes but the screen continued to say that priming was active. If you think it actually is still priming, you can crawl under the tank and listen to see if the pump is still on.
@@alexudolkin2146 Gas engines that's the easy way, but if you try that with most diesels you'll air lock the rail and injectors. It might start after a few minutes of cranking but the starter and battery will be tired....if it starts.
Need to check my filter as we speak my question is did you take of the ENTIRE plastic panel under the car? Or is there a specific spot under it where I can access the fuel filter without taking off all 25 screws on the panel cause I’ve seen most vids where people take off the whole thing
Good thing the "WIX" 😉 aka "MANN" fuel filter is also an OEM fitment / replacement item 👍 Thanks for the "How to" video
I'm pretty sure because the MANN part number contains "WK...X" is what made my brain short circuit lol
@@sullygtx9350 ... Yep 👍 that would do it 😉
Ive got a 520d f10 will the priming work on mine with this app?

No.
Great work
Thank you!
Good job thanks
Nice work, Bimmergeeks are a Godsend for sure! Is that an aftermarket display you have?
Yeah it's a 12" plug and play android screen. I have a video about it if you're interested.
Can you please pkst a link for that display?

Super helpful. I wonder how much the dealer would want for this? It’s critical to do every 10,000 miles. Looks like a pain.

@@sullygtx9350 thanks. If I call them maybe they can help me remove the def and egr on a diesel x5?
@@Bmwguy2011 I believe he has a CZcams video on how to remove the EGR. I am deleted but left my DEF tank installed.

You're welcome!
In which license (diagnostic or coding) is fuel pump priming function?
I'm not sure. I have the full license.
Are you able to install protool on the android head unit and view real time data?
My android head unit doesn't allow Bluetooth connections to anything other than a phone but a wifi dongle might work.
How do you depressurize the fuel lines before removing the filter? Thanks
The system shouldn't be under pressure if it's been sitting for a few minutes. Line pressure is a different system than the rail pressure.
@@sullygtx9350 thank you. First time owning a diesel bmw- I’ve always pulled the fuel pump fuse and idled the engine until it stalls for fuel filters
@@alexudolkin2146 Gas engines that's the easy way, but if you try that with most diesels you'll air lock the rail and injectors. It might start after a few minutes of cranking but the starter and battery will be tired....if it starts.
So is there no need to open anything downstream to bleed out the air?
Hope your using a car stand and not just relying on your jack?
At 19:25 you can see one of my jack stands.
Wivks filter? Says Mann on the box
You are correct. My brain and mouth weren't on the same team that day haha
Nice!

It's a smaller cover. I think it's only 4 or 5 screws.
@@sullygtx9350 okay thanks for the quick reply lol I’m gonna head back out and re attempt this

Protool
@@sullygtx9350 what type of connection cable u are using?
@@sting511 K+DCAN cable off ebay, it's silver and has a switch. Then an OTG USB to USB-C adapter so I can plug the cable into my phone.
Isn't it self priming on newer BMWs?
Anessessery to complicated for nothing just fiul filter
