bmw 325 tds fuel pump

[crossie]

been told the fuel pump is on the way out

where can I get a new one as bmw said £1000 to replace it.

Any one know how easy it is to swap??

I've got a receipt in my service history for both the pumps being changed by a specialist, cost over £700 to supply and fit. Is it the lift pump in the tank or the main injection pump on the engine?

main injection pump on the engine-Ithink

There's an article in PPC or one of the similar mags this month about the 325tds. It mentions in there about the pump problem - I'll wander over to the shelf and see if it mentions a cheap fix in the article - can't recall one though

Cheers for the information.

I get PPC mag so will look at it once I get home.

sorry this is crossie under dads user name.

Had a look in there...said it had to be coded to the ECU? Don't know if that's true but it seems a bit of an expense if so
