BMW (E46) 320D / (E39) 520D
Bosch VP44 Diesel pump fitted to BMW 320D / 520D
This is a very common problem for all BMW 320D (E46) / 520D (E39) vehicles with the 2.0D engine built between 1998 and 2003. The fault will often seem to come out of the blue and will cause the engine to cut out, if running at the time, and will prevent it from starting again.
The mechanical side of the pump is usually very reliable and gives very few problems, nearly all of the faults we see are caused by the Electronic Diesel Control unit (EDC) located on the top of the diesel pump.
The EDC is not available to purchase separately from the pump, so you may be instructed to order and replace the entire thing.
We offer a cost-effective solution: send us your EDC to be rebuilt, there will be no need for coding once you get it back either.
Please note that we only test the EDC on top of the pump, we cannot test the mechanical part of the pump.
These Bosch VP44 diesel pumps can be difficult and very time consuming to remove and reinstall to the vehicle, we recommend any removal/reinstall be performed by a trained technician ideally with previous experience of these pumps. Attempting to run these pumps when they are drained of fuel can seriously damage the mechanical side of the pump.
