Special tools required:







IMPORTANT: Lines are under pressure.

Wear safety goggles and gloves.
Fuel can emerge spontaneously at high velocity when the fuel line is released.







Recycling:
Catch and dispose of escaping fuel in a suitable container.
Observe country-specific waste disposal regulations.







Necessary preliminary tasks:
- Switch off ignition.
- Connect BMW diagnosis system.
- Remove acoustic cover







Unclip connector (1) from bracket (2).
Unclip bracket (2) from fuel injection pipe.







Remove dust cap.







Procedure with the 25 bar pressure sensor:
Connect the set of special tools 13 5 220 (consisting of 13 5 221 and 13 5 222 ) to the pressure sensor of the BMW diagnosis system.
Connect pressure sensor to the BMW diagnosis system or IMIB.







IMPORTANT:
Do not screw in shutoff valve up to mechanical limit position under any circumstances.
This could damage the valve in pressure regulator housing.







Install set of special tools 13 5 220 at fuel injection pipe and tighten knurled nut hand-tight.
Unscrew shutoff valve (1) so that valve in pressure regulator housing is closed.
Establish fuel delivery pressure.
Screw in shutoff valve (1) until a pressure reading is displayed on BMW diagnosis system or IMIB. Read off fuel delivery pressure and compare with values in BMW diagnosis system.







Procedure with the 100 bar IMIB pressure sensor:
For the check of fuel delivery pressure with the 100 bar IMIB pressure sensor only tool 13 5 221 is needed from the set of special tools. Unscrew special tool 13 5 222 from special tool 13 5 221.







Install special tool 13 5 221 at fuel injection pipe and tighten knurled nut hand-tight.
Unscrew shutoff valve so that valve in pressure regulator housing is closed.
Screw onto special tool 13 5 221, the special tool 11 4 310.
Screw IMIB 100 bar pressure sensor on the special tool 11 4 310.
Establish fuel delivery pressure.
Screw in shutoff valve until a pressure reading is displayed on IMIB. Read off fuel delivery pressure and compare with values in BMW diagnosis system.







NOTE:
Removal of the set of special tools 13 5 220 :
- Turn off engine.
- Fully unscrew shutoff valve
- Remove set of special tools 13 5 220 from pressure regulator housing
