Where is the fuel filter located on a BMW 1 series UK E87 N43 116i (2.0L) petrol? I have taken off the under trays, nothing at all is visible!

    Hi, yes there are several Youtube video's but they don't seem applicable to the 2011 E87 116i which is actually a 2.0L petrol. I have removed all the underside trays on both sides of the car, absolutely nothing!

    Thanks for taking the time anyway

    After a little bit more research it appears that those petrol models do not have a fuel filter fitted! There is most likely a ‘catch trap’ inside the fuel tank. This is basically a fine metal gauze over the end of the pick up pipe.

SOURCE: Fuel filter and oil filter location on Bmw 320 td copact

If you removed the camshaft cover, you should probably replace the gasket or at a minimum insure that all bolts are torqued to OEM specification.

Look here for instructions and pictures for the oil change.

The fuel filter is located on the bottom of the car, not sure which side, under a shield. Look here for pics and instructions.

SOURCE: where is the oil filter located on the bmw 116i

right at the front in the middle below plastic housing. Has 1 large plastic cap on a metal lower casing, not metal bodied like old oil filters just has filter element. Also replace 'O' rings that should come with the new filter as the old will have squared off or become perished. I think you need a 27mm socket to undo the filer housing.

2005 BMW 1 Series 1116i cranks but no start - plenty of fuel and fuel pumps working . no start

what fuel?, gas or diesel, LPG, LNG, e100 what?
(E81/E82/E87/E88; ? aka E8x says
"the four-cylinder turbo-diesel, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol, six-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol and six-cylinder turbocharged petrol (the latter only available on coup? and convertible models)."
I can not guess engines !, if not told straight up."
what does 1116i mean., google returns zip, a typo or bounced a key? YES !
or post the country and VIN and we tell you what is under the hood
and is first, step.
let we wild guess it burns GASoline (petrol)
and has spark (sure does) and spark is dead
DIY.
all fuses good
and next we scan the car at the OBD1 scan port USA, 16pins.
it then tells my why spark is dead.
and why spray test fuel fails. a standard easy test, for prove spark and engine are ok for 100 years, the same exact test.

your engine is here. find it and tell it for 10x more exact answers for free.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BMW_engines


OK googling me like crazy car really is
Series 1.6 116i just 2 ones. no three.
I guess this is a BMW test day?
best I can tell that is an E87 BMW,actual
E87 1 Series 5 door 116i has a naturally-aspirated Inline 4 cylinder engine, Petrol motor. 1596 cm3 (1.6l)
This engine produces a maximum power of 115 PS (113 bhp - 85 kW) at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 150 Nm (110 lb.ft) at 4300 rpm.

So if E87 it is then it has spark and no fuel ever burns lacking spark
and must be scanned, after all fuses test good
here is the best test (EFI ways) DYI
1: connect scan tool & key on make sure scan tool works.!!!
2 CRANK FOR 5 SECONDS, AND RELEASE KEY
3: DO NOT TURN KEY OFF NOW.
4: SCAN AGAIN SEE WHY ECU TELLS YOU WHY SPARK IS DEAD,
IT SURE WILL, DTC P-3XX , HARD HARD ERRORS. LIKE THESE.
CPM DEAD.
CKP DEAD
SPARK DEAD.
FUSES DEAD
BATTERY WEAK
.
AND MORE, NOT SCANNING IS THE PROBLEM
YOU CAN NOT FIX MODERN CARS LACKING THE TOOL SO RENT ONE/?

MY GUESS THIS IS THE CAR

1.8l bmw 3 series year 2003 petrol not running because of fuel not getting to engine

It could be the fuel pump or the pump relay or fuse. It could be the fuel filter or the gas lines. If they all check out, it may be the fuel injectors. Start with the pump and make sure gas goes to the filter, through the filter, to the injectors. You'll find your problem.

FUEL PUMP

Hello!

The fuel pump on a 3 series BMW is located under the rear seat.
To access it you will need to remove the lower part of the rear seat by pulling it up.
Then an oval shaped cover on the passengers side should become visible.
Under this cover is the fuel pump.
I would suggest taking the cover off and inspecting for signs of replaced parts.
(new parts should be shiny ;)

Hope this helps!
