Does anybody have a wiring diagram? I have a wire that has become separated in the harness, my temp sensor read fine inside the tank but I have a short to positive code
All the fuses In the box under the air cleaner are fine |

go to google search and type in "bmw x5 active tank temp sensor wiring" the second picture is what I went off of. I have shopkey at work but the electrical diagrams for bmw are crap on there. that picture takes you to a thread on another forum where another guy used the 10k resistor and it worked for him also

You should do a DIY on this using the VW part, it would be the GoTo fix for this issue

If my company decides to buy the VW insert, I will definitely photograph and post the whole procedure. in the meantime, for anyone wanting to use the VW part, the removal is simple. take the front half of the inner fender down that's held up with several 8mm screws and push clips. the tank is then visible and fully accessible. remove the tank by disconnecting all of the lines at the quick connects (4 lines) and unplug the bulk connectors on the side of the tank nearest the engine (4 plugs) The tank is then only held in by two 10mm bolts up top and two 13mm bolts on the side nearest the engine and one grommet fitting on the bottom. once the tank is out, take out the three 4mm allen head bolts on top of the tank that hold the pump down. the insert is held in by a plastic ring that simply twists off. now pry the insert out lightly with a flat blade screwdriver and lift it about 2-3 inches up as this is all you will be allowed due to the inside connections limiting the free play. IMPORTANT... do not pull on the inside "cup" you have to insert your hand into the tank and turn the inside cup about 1/8th of a turn counter clockwise to release the cup and then the whole insert comes out and is ready for replacement.

Jesus, that is cheaper than sending to xemodex.
That would be an AWESOME find if this works.

It will work. I took my insert out and apart and matched everything up. Same plugs and wire colors and connectors. My insert even had the same QR code picture on top and same yellow paint dot on top. Manufacturers part number matches as well.

Now I am angry, why would BMW not offer this and instead make people pay for an entire tank when the part is available from the manufacturer?

I wondered the same myself but from my experience with Nissan and Infiniti, some parts are available with Nissan that aren't available with Infiniti and are the exact same part. I believe the more expensive auto line uses tactics like these to maintain the "elite" status of their lineup so that not just anybody will be able to afford to own a BMW.
