changed the fuel pump last week on my 1995 850 t5 and now the em light is on.. It has a obd2 connector near the gear stick i was thinking of buying a code reader which will clear the fault code. I have emailed a few people and they say the scanners they sell prob wont work as its a 1995. Can anyone tell me what scanner will do this I am willing to pay about £100 mark...


cheers

Just pull the ecu out and give it a go, what have you got to loose.
