4 Remove tank sending unit:
Disconnect electrical harness connector.
Disconnect hose (arrow).
- Unscrew threaded collar from fuel level sender.
NOTE-
BMW special spanner 16 1 020 should be used to remove
and install the threaded collar. Damage to the collar may
result if the special tool is not used.
Slowly withdraw assembly from tank, allowing fuel to drain
off. If necessary, push level sender arm toward sending
unit to facilitate removal.
CA UTIOW-
Do not bend fuel level sender arm.
4 Once level sensor unit has been lifted partially out of tank,
disconnect tank siphon hose by pressing tabs (arrows).
- Installation is reverse of removal
Attach tank siphon hose to sender unit firmly.
Use new sealing ring at tank collar.
. Be sure that fuel sender float points in same direction as
during removal.
- Reconnect harness connector.
Fill tank and
check for leaks by running engine.
CAUTION-
After finishing repairs but before starting engine, be sure
there is at least
5 liters (1.5gallons) of fuel in tan/(. The fuel

filling
(V-8 models).
WARNING -
Allow cooling system to cool before opening or draining the
system.
- Disconnect mass air flow (MAF) sensor electrical harness
connector. Remove air intake duct together with MAF sensor.
- Remove mechanical cooltng fan and fan shroud. See Me-
chanical (viscous clutch) cooling fan, removing and
