X5 35d Hard Start Issue
Looking for advice on next steps for 2010 X5 35 diesel, intermittent hard start. Diagnostics have been run by two dealerships in Atlanta, checked out low pressure fuel pump and rail pressure control valve and they are ok. Next they suggested checking volume control valve but intake manifold would have to come off. One of the dealerships just wanted to throw a new high pressure fuel pump at it, but figured that since I have it at home, could possibly check out volume control valve if I have reasonable success as a DIYer? Thanks

The intake is easy to remove and there are some diys you can watch that will walk you through it. You could definitely do this yourself.

Thanks, it currently is not throwing any codes that I can see with the OBDLink MX+, but I don't have the Ista or BMW 1.4 yet. The dealer checked for rail pressure codes and there were none. What are the chances that a failing starter could not throw a code?

Yes it will sometimes take 5 or 6 seconds trying to start and will start, sometimes it will go beyond that and not start. I have the intake manifold off right now and a Bosch starter on the way. The engine does not stall when driving and does not produce any codes currently
