Not sure which one Id need, its an 04 525d.

any pointers to where this goes

i just checked with ECP - they have one but they say it x references with 12217788327

got a hot start issue and my e60 throws up GLOW CONTROL UNIT

[pablo_ni]

its under the inlet manifold where the water pipes go into the block. real pig to get at even with the manifold off

[ice959]

so no chance doing it without taking the manifold off?

any diagrams?

one to do myself? or leave garage to do it?

ECP quoted £55 +vat
dealer £88 +vat

[pablo_ni]

no diagrams sorry mate. its not the worst you spend most of the time stripping stuff, then the bolts and plugs of the control unit are awkward to get at.

prob a couple of hundred labour tbh.

[ice959]

I hear you can do this job without removing the inlet manifold.. anyone?
