Glow plug controller x5 40d

Post by mr angry » Wed Feb 12, 2020 3:12 pm

I am looking at replacing the glow plugs and controller in my 40d and see someone selling Beru controller with six Bosch plugs. When looking on real oem it says Beru and Bosch not to be fitted together.

Anyone done this or knowledge as to compatibility as Bosch dont seem to do a controller?

That's what is fitted in both my x5 and my e90 same combination with no problems.

Thanks for that Alan.

I dont actually have any fault codes registering for the relay or the plugs but the car is difficult to start from cold and it has six new injectors and high and low pressure fuel pumps so running out of ideas.
