How to use the BT to initiate the low pressure fuel pump:

"However, if you were to, say, use a BT (www.bavariantechnic.com/) then you could go under the Fuel Pump menu to the Activation sub menu and turn on/off the in tank lift pump. The fact that he wrote “may take a few cranks
” to start his engine makes me believe he wasn’t, in fact, initiating the lift pump like he thought. I think this because for, some reason, I know that if you cycle the lift pump with the BT then the engine will fire up as fast as normal.
"
TDI, I emailed BT and they seem to think that the tool may have limited communication with my 2011 335d. What year is your ride and have you noticed any limitations with the tool? Thanks!
