:rolleyes::rolleyes: forgive me, I thought having 'brakes' & 'stopping power ' , relatively has the same effect.

It behaved as nothing wrong, so far. Diags not much help. Could it be the accumulator?:confused: To remove the wiring connector from the pressure switch, do I have to remove the whole pump first? or is there any easy method. I want to clean that connector & see.

May be demons:( in the ignition switch/relay.

Checked the wiring and reinserted the under fuse box wiring connectors. Can't get to the brake pump's wiring connector at the pressure switch end, it's too tight & no space too.

Mine is not soldered. It sits on a 24 DIN (?) socket. Esay to remove/replace.

The pump works but only thing is it won't start , randomly, after parked for 4 - 5 hrs. Otherwise, it runs happily. What is the TC light got to do with the brake pump? Why no pump no brakes, isn't the accumulator suppose to keep the pressure for 20-30 brake applications? (accumulator was...

Check your 'injection value current' with Nanocom . I had a similar issue & the value was fluctuating from 0 to 3 , IIRC. After adjustment it was okay. For the adjustment you need a hammer;) Wammers or N2O will comment on specifics.

Hi all, Got a problem with my ABS pump. It does not start on its own with ign ON, specially after parked for a while. At that moment virtually no brakes. The 3 amigos will stay ON & when the pump starts the TC light goes out and everything is normal thereafter. (hand brake light goes out with...

Hopefully, yours is a diesel with M51 BMW lump. Setting up 2 genuine alternators means 220 A max. Would you care to show some pictures on how did you attach the second one to the engine & the belt arrangement please?

I know it's an old thread. Are you having twin alternators ? what capacity?

This is the fuse type; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Strip-Link-Fuse-Auto-30A-40A-50A-60A-80A-100A/263085698399?epid=23004716240&hash=item3d41212d5f:m:mu_Pq18mmfS-nDBcUGdwWYQ

Its bit of a hassle with intake manifold in place. But doable with an open ended wrench 23 mm or 24 mm , insert with slant. Take care it will slip .

I got chains, gaskets & fuse box from rimmers of UK. They have a 'price match' option too. So far so good with me but no affiliation. I had a bad experience with island44 who sold me a refurbed starter saying it's brand new. Will never go to them.

Temporary, just to make sure the culprit is the stop solenoid.

You appear to have a bad stop solenoid. To verify it's the culprit , remove it .Careful with the piston & spring inside. Refit it without the innards & connect power supply, otherwise there will be fault code. Now start & run the car. The ECU & the injection pump has some arrangement when the...

check 80A fuse in glow plug relay.

check this car idling & turning steering wheel towards fully left & right.

Steering locked on full turn?:D
