Hi all,
First post to the forum.
I've had my E53 3.0 diesel just over a year now, no troubles at all. Over the weekend she started then lost power after driving 300 meters or so down the road.
The car year is 2006 with 170,000 miles on the clock.
From calling the breakdown out to check they couldn't find the issue, however on removing or loosening one of the injectors it's clear diesel wasn't being received up to the injectors.
The following has been checked so far:
- Battery good
- Key/Immobiliser working
- Fuel pump right hand side passenger is pumping on taking the rubber pipe off and turning the key (this is priming).
- Noticed a puddle of diesel leaking from an exhaust on the left hand side underneath the car, slow drip.
It's noted the car is cranking turning over but not starting due to lack of diesel.
Ruled out fuel pump under right hand passenger side seat, where to go from here?
Thanks in advance for your help/replies.
