What are the symptoms of a BMW fuel pump failure?
1 Answers
BMW high-pressure fuel pump failure symptoms include severe car shaking, lack of acceleration power, unstable idling, difficulty starting, and even stalling. Both the fuel pump and high-pressure fuel pump may fail, though the probability is relatively low. Here is relevant information: 1. Hazards: A damaged fuel pump in the fuel tank is a serious malfunction that directly affects vehicle power and may even cause complete breakdown or failure to start. While high-pressure fuel pump failure won't necessarily strand the vehicle, it can cause weak acceleration and strong jerking sensations during driving. 2. Precautions: The high-pressure fuel pump is purely mechanically driven (by camshaft), with potential failures including mechanical damage, clogging, or oil leakage. For direct injection engines, fuel pump and high-pressure fuel pump failures share similar symptoms. If experiencing weak acceleration or shaking, step-by-step diagnosis is recommended. This applies to both the fuel pump and high-pressure fuel pump.
