Greetings, everyone. As a newcomer, I kindly want assistance. I own a 2009 1.6 petrol Cooper S. The car was operational, but had difficulty starting since it required many attempts to crank over.The vehicle operates well, but, the engine warning light persists in illuminating.The cause of the issue is a faulty camshaft sensor.I received a recommendation to replace the gasoline filter, and I followed the advice. Has not started since. Fuel is being supplied to the high-pressure fuel pump, but it is not being discharged. I have temporarily replaced the pump with a second-hand one. The engine remains inoperable.Apply a little amount of easy start spray and then start the engine briefly. Undoubtedly, the problem is with the gasoline. Perhaps an airlock. I kindly want assistance from anybody. Thank you.

Hello, I have a couple of questions. Firstly, have you resolved the issue with the camshaft sensor? Secondly, do you own a bi-directional scanner that can provide information on the fuel pressure inside the system? If the engine previously operated and you have since replaced the gasoline filter, but it now fails to start altogether, have you ensured that the filter and seals have been properly reinstalled? Additionally, have you seen any indication of the fuel pump priming? If you claim that the engine operates smoothly during easy start, then there is likely a problem with the fuel supply. The most effective approach to resolving this issue is to examine the fuel pressure and trace the problem back from that point. After replacing my gasoline filter, I did not hear the pump prime when I turned on the ignition, but it did activate after I removed the key.
I am certain that you will quickly regain full functionality.

Greetings. I need to inspect the filter and I accidentally released the pump. I did not remove it, I only opened it under the assumption that it was a filter.I can hear it clearly. Occasionally, although not consistently. I detach the low pressure gasoline line from the high pressure pump and it is released. Uncertain about sufficiency. The fluid does not exit from the high-pressure side when it is removed. It is best to begin from the beginning and repeat the process. I own a little diagnostic instrument. Uncertain about whether I will do it. I considered that maybe using an air lock and applying a strong impact might perhaps resolve the issue. Malfunction in the camshaft. I have made two alterations, but I am now facing a challenge. Essentially, it was functioning properly before I modified the filter, so it would be wise to begin troubleshooting from that point.

Hello. I need to examine the filter and unintentionally released the pump. I did not eliminate it; rather, I only accessed it with the presumption that it was a filter.The auditory perception is distinct and unambiguous to me. Intermittently, however not uniformly. I disconnect the low pressure petrol line from the high pressure pump and it is released. Uncertain about adequacy. The fluid remains inside the high-pressure side upon removal. It is optimal to begin the task from the first stage and thereafter iterate through the procedure. I own a little diagnostic device. I am unsure about whether I will do it. I contemplated the possibility that using an air lock and administering a forceful hit may perhaps remedy the problem. Camshaft failure. I have implemented two modifications, but, I am now encountering a difficulty. In essence, the system was working correctly prior to my adjustment of the filter, hence it would be prudent to begin the troubleshooting process from that juncture.

I own an Ob2 reader. Is that sufficient? The cam sensor malfunction persists. Has been done before to and after to the filter update. High Pressure Fuel Pump I am unfamiliar with the subject you mentioned. I am aware that the diaphragm is positioned at a distance of 27mm while the engine is not running. Is it possible that the issue lies with the gasoline relay in the main fuse box, which is soldered in place? It clicks. I have attempted to construct three battery chargers, but none of them are functioning, leaving me feeling perplexed and uncertain. I possess a certain level of knowledge in mechanics. However, I am perplexed by this particular issue since I have simply replaced the gasoline filter. Thank you for your assistance on the road and for introducing me to my first compact vehicle. It is undoubtedly the most enjoyable automobile I have ever had the pleasure of driving.

Greetings, everyone. I am a newcomer seeking assistance with my 2009 Cooper S 1.6 petrol vehicle. The vehicle had difficulty starting, but eventually operated, despite the presence of an illuminated engine warning indicator caused by a malfunctioning camshaft sensor. After replacing the gasoline filter, the engine is now unable to start. The high-pressure fuel pump receives gasoline but fails to expel it. I replaced the pump with a pre-owned one, but, the engine still fails to start. The engine starts momentarily using easy start, indicating a clear problem with the fuel supply, maybe caused by an airlock. I would much appreciate any guidance or recommendations on the LR APK.

The HPFP, or high pressure fuel pump, is a component that is attached to the end of the camshaft. If the diaphragm is positioned at 27mm, it indicates that the pump is no longer functional and requires refurbishment.
