Problems with BMW 5 Series diesel: Black smoke, high fuel consumption and uneven running

Thank you guys, you've really helped me. It's reassuring to know that it's probably nothing more serious. And it also seems that the problem can be fixed quite cheaply. I'll just go to the garage now and hope for the best. Thank you for your support!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2011 BMW 7 Series. At the last workshop visit, we had to look at the fuel injection. Incorrect values from the fuel pressure sensor can definitely cause black smoke and increased fuel consumption, as the engine electronics can mess up the fuel mix. But don't worry, if it was something serious, other symptoms would occur. The juddering could also indicate a problem with the injectors or even the high pressure pump, but this is relatively easy to fix. The mechanics should be able to get a good handle on your problem. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for your quick reply! Your info reassures me a bit, at least it sounds like it could be something that the guys at the garage should be able to get to grips with quickly. But as you know, you always want to be on the safe side and find out as much as you can beforehand. Do you happen to remember how much it cost you and whether anything else came up afterwards that you had to have fixed?

Hi, I just came across your thread and would like to share my experience. I had the fuel pressure sensor fixed on my car, a fancy Audi A6. Since then I've never had a problem with it again. The workshop guys did a great job. That's what I call service! It cost me around €150 to get the sensor fixed. Everything was back to normal afterwards! Hope this helps you a bit with your preparation. Good luck!

Hi everyone, I agree with the others here. The fuel pressure sensor could indeed be the problem. With the mileage on your car, it's quite possible that some parts are showing wear. If the sensor is giving incorrect data, the ECU may not be burning the fuel optimally, which could lead to the problems you describe. A proper diagnosis and possibly replacing the sensor could solve your problem. But as I said, it's best to go to a reliable garage and have the situation assessed by professionals. Good luck with that, and hopefully you'll soon be driving again without any problems!

29E2 Had Sensor disconnected, after working on motor

(Translated from Spanish)

Hi tonymontana, it seems like you're dealing with a fault code 29E2, which is related to the fuel injection system. If you've recently disconnected the sensor and now you're experiencing issues, it's possible that the sensor was not reconnected properly or it might have been damaged during the process. I'd recommend checking the connection first, make sure it's secure and the wiring is not damaged. If the problem persists, you might need to replace the sensor. Please update us on your progress. Do you have any other questions?

Hassan, it sounds like you're having an issue with your tire pressure. First, check the tire pressure on all your tires and make sure they are inflated to the recommended PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) as stated in your vehicle's manual or on the sticker inside the driver's door. If the problem persists, it could be a faulty tire pressure sensor. In this case, I would recommend having it checked by a professional mechanic. Please keep us updated on your progress. Do you have any other questions?

My error code is 247500 has nothing to do with the tire, right?
