    Will a 1995 525td engine fit a P38 diesel

    When changing these engines over the only thing you can't change is the FIP, the RR doesn't fit the BMW block, however through weeks of hassle and tears we eventually took a chance and changed the electrical unit on the pump, this is the top half of the FIP, the two pumps are wired completely...

    BMW 525 engine transfer problem

    The injection pump fitted to the BMW 525 engine which we put in the RR is a 995, this will not communicate with the RR Electric Control Module/ECM or ECU which is fitted beside the battery. The original RR pump, a 994 will not physically fit the 525 engine as the front boss/seal is different...

    BMW 525 engine transfer problem

    I didn't transfer the ecu and now I have no chance as the donor car has been scrapped. The in-tank fuel pump was working before I disconnected the battery to put the battery/starter lead around the back of the head, once we reconnected everything and tried to start it the tank fuel pump has...
