SUBJECT
Fuel Level Sensor Repairs

MODEL
All Models

SITUATION
Where it is necessary to replace the right or the left-side fuel level sensor due to a failure, the entire pump and housing or delivery unit (suction jet assembly) do not need to be replaced as well. In some cases, EPC does not show that the repair kit is available separately in the illustration, but it is available in the parts description.

For example, the customer complains that the fuel gauge is inoperative. When diagnosed, the problem is found to be a defective right-side fuel level sensor. Only the fuel level sensor should be replaced; there is no need to replace the entire fuel delivery module assembly. Refer to the applicable Repair Instruction for complete details.

Fuel pump repair kits or delivery units (suction jet assemblies) should not be used to repair fuel level sensor concerns, and will not be covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
