Been a while, back for a bit, red oil/battery light on

Okay people well I got it towed to my buddies shop.

We figured out that my fuel pump actually sucked up grime from the tank. I got the car to start with some SeaFoam, drove about 30 miles and replaced the oil.

I have ordered a new Fuel Pump and a new Fuel Filter, and will be changing that soon and will update pictures so people know what to look for when a fuel pump goes bad.

Also while it was on the lift, we figured out, for my safety, that I need new lower control arm bushings, who would've thought right?! haha, typical problems.

So I have those ordered too, the mounts are A-OK so before ordering parts, make sure your mounts are good or bad, or if you're anal about it, just change it all while you're down there.

Car is now operating and driving completely fine.

Thanks Guys.

All is well. Thanks for asking.

VDO is fine. That's what I have in my ZHP now.

Sorry, I m late to this thread but I would have guessed fuel filter but makes sense to change out the pump and sender too. I did mine with VDO/siemans and Mann fuel filter. Good luck. Semper Fi and thanks for your service.

Is the Fuel Level Sending Unit a separate part with the VDO one? In the Description it says sending level unit included.

But on the BMW one it says it differently, is this the same thing?

Sorry if this sounds stupid I'm just utterly confused with the way the text is put.

Not stupid.

They look the same to me. Both look like sending units with the level sensor.

Thank God you knew because the live chat guy didn't seem to know too well.

Thank you all for your help. Hopefully when I visit more of the States I get to come check out more of your cars in person.

Sounds good. And I get an autograph and a pic. Make sure the hair is back!
