Hi looking for advice and help. I have an E46 318ti. Car starts ok when cold but when it has run for a while struggles to start and has to cool down for a least 10 minutes. that was until yesterday. Yesterday i filled the car up to about 90% fuel, had strong fume smell and then all of a sudden the car would not start again. On inspection ...... fuel was leaking below the car ... it was coming from the top of the fuel pump under the rear seat. I cleaned up the petrol and the pump had no power coming to it. I checked both fuses in glove comp and in engine bay also checked and replace the fuel relay.
The relay does receive power from both the fuses when testing the relay sockets with a tester etc. however when the relay is put back in and i turn the key to position 2 the pump get no power. Key was re-coded and registers file.
any help would be appreciated and advice, thank you.
