Out of warranty now, coming up to 60k. Big service next. I can’t be arsed with the hassle mind, so I’m obviously all bullshit and bluster!If you’ve got a good one, why get rid?!

Ouch. Do you not now have the issue of getting it back to the garage to fix?
Who’s done the work in Portsmouth??Manchester garage no Portsmouth garage yes.

Thats normally the screw on valve on the pump.
Weirdly its giving me a few options for the part number but see below with RRP's.
Shouldn't be a huge job to change it out if needs be as you don't need to remoe the pump.

They did all the servicing/fixing on my E63, always seemed really goodPrestige Car Service.
So should be LH bank if I remember correctly. You have another regulator on the end of the fuel rail. Check the connection on that and that the all the fuel pipes have been secured properly.
Ah ok. Hopefully something really simple and just an overlooked item.
When you buy a replacement engine (from Dronsfield or Prestige) they supply the fuel injection with it, so you should have a spare set of injectors, fuel pump and rails w/ sensors etc.
I hope you got them given to you!
Ohh. I've always had them come with injection as well so assumed you would get the same.It was a bare block so everything was swapped over.
Car kept cutting out abs wouldn’t restart at a junction this morning which almost caused a accident. Went eventually, I met resistance from the garage in Portsmouth today saying they were too busy and it would be a month Atleast before they could look at it.
Wife stepped in as she could see I was about to lose it. They did the work, it was fine before they did the work and I gave them 4.5k.
f**king fix it and stop f**king around.
Ohh. I've always had them come with injection as well so assumed you would get the same.
So you left it with them again to look into? Be interesting to see what they come up with. I take it, it was chuffing or making any irregular noises just the light and cutting out?
Probably a bit simplistic but there isn’t a twist or kink in one of the fuel pipes is there? How old and crusty is the fuel filter?
gutted for you Ant
Agree completelyAll pipes look as new, fuel filter replaced with genuine unit when work done.
It’s possible one has been damaged when refitted but that’s their job to find.
So it won't be the filter or the metal pipes / fixings because if it was you'd have fuel everywhere.
My guess is either the wiring / plug or the fuel regualtor on the rail is faulty. Simple enough test to check voltages / signal to the plug. And they could try another regulator off another V6 just to test it, before buying a new one.
Because thinking about it, if it was an injector issue it would fault to a particular cylinder and not the complete bank. unless they have coded the LH bank injectors in as new ones but thats a reach..
So the leak off pipes are braided rubber but again you'd see an obvious leak. The pipes from the rail to the injectors are metal.Agree completely
are they all hard pipes? If a hose in kinked or pinched slightly could that not cause a pressure issue? For the sake of a quick look around with a torch I’m guessing it’s worth it.
Either way it’s dog s**t that Ant is in this position…hope it’s not one of “those” cars Ant
Yeah singular HP pump. Injectors shouldn't of needed coded as they re-used his old ones with his old ECU. Should of been a simple job of cleaning up the seat, new washer and bolt and then start. But if they told the vehicle they were new new this could be a problem, but as I said its a stretch..Fuel lines to the pump surely can't be an issue as the OM642 are single HP fuel pump (pretty sure), so it will be associated to that bank/rail if you're seeing something on one side. Plus there would be derv pissing out everywhere
I would say like @KielT mentioned, injectors on that bank haven't been coded right or the pressure sensor is wankered. These aren't like VAG stuff where each bank has it's own ECU?
Edit, get it plugged in and read the live date from the pressure sensor, it should be like 15,000PSI+ iirc
Aye it should still run without them injectors coded, just helps it along and gets the best out of them
Ant will throw money at it, he's minted
