X5 Diesel Low Fuel Pressure Fault

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

Am new on here and really need help, ive recently purchased my first x5, a 2002 diesel. Going to work the other day it struggled to start, halfway to work it stopped as though it had ran out of fuel, (half tank in car), turned over several times starting and immediately cutting out. Finally started again and ran for a bit before stopping again with fault message "fuel injection E" on dash. Got recovered to local garage where fuel filter was changed due to what he thought was an air leak. Fault code says low rail pressure. Any ideas???

Hi

Most likely a fuel pump issue, real common fault with these.

It will either be the primary pump in top of tank under rear seats

Or the low pressure pump under the plastic covers under the car

On passenger side rear, it's a small inline electric pump.

Hope this helps

Mark
