Bmw e60 , n47 , 520 diesel - Engine Malfunction
Discussion
Hope someone can assist
My cars a late 2008, 107k with service history -- checked with BMW no recalls on it
Was driving other day and heard what I describe as a fan belt turning on under bonnet ( pitched dry noise) at same time the sat nav/ radio display went black temporary. 2 miles later Engine Malfunction showed on screen , power loss and I managed to get across to hard shoulder
Car would crank up but wouldn't start. Also noticed that blew my charger at same time , dials were static , recovery people put reader in and said egr fault.
Next day garage that was towed into put on snap on solus and got low pressure fuel. , there saying checked all fuses etc , there was 50 miles to empty at time. They put more diesel in and tried easy start the car would not rev up. Telling me that fuels getting to high pressure fuel pump but all they hear is gurgling
they told me would need to strip and poss drop engine . At that time checked with BMW and they told me that's not true as sprocket u can get takes them 2 hours labour At this time decided Time to move car
I have taken it to an auto electrician who deals with the trade and using Bosch system they are getting a fault code 483D - throttle activator. The car was on recovery truck and has batt dead had to use booster for power in battery , Car has now been left , I found a scrap of paper that garage left in skittle and one of the codes was 4BDA. - fuel Air supply pressure control
I have been on google etc and reading things from the hpfp to timing chain ( Defo not that). Car was running like a dream no hiccups , very quiet
I'm hoping it's a sensor or something. How in depth do auto electricians go? Could it be a faulty alternator , voltage issue or.
Sorry for the rambling but sometimes posting too much than too little
