Product Overview

WORKSHOP NOTICEECU Calibration / IMA Coding Required

This injector requires 6-8 digit calibration code programming (IMA / QR code) into the vehicle ECU (using Bosch KTS, Lexia/Diagbox or equivalent diagnostic equipment) following replacement to balance cylinder fuel delivery and prevent DTC P0300 misfire codes.

The BOSCH 0445110617 is a complete high-pressure solenoid common rail injector assembly engineered for the BMW N47D20 (2.0L) and N57D30 (3.0L) TDCI engine family — fitted to BMW 1 Series (F20/F21) 120d/118d, 2 Coupe (F22/F45) 220d/218d, 3 Series (E90/F30/F80) 320d/318d/325d/330d, 5 Series (F10/F11) 520d/525d/530d, X1 (E84/F48) 18d/20d/25d, and Mini Countryman (R60) Cooper SD 2.0D (2010-2019). The F00VC01503 solenoid control valve (Bosch F00VC01xxx CRI2 generation) meters fuel flow via pulsed ground signals from the ECU, supporting a 2000 bar peak rail pressure with stable pilot and main injection sequencing for Euro 5 emissions compliance. The DLLA160P2176 multi-hole nozzle atomizes fuel via 7 × 0.160 mm orifices at 160° spray angle for clean combustion. Shares the F00VC01503 control-valve group with sister SKUs 0445110382, 0445110478/0479/0480, 0445110595/0596, 0445110616, and 0986435262 (Bosch aftermarket exchange) — but each carries a unique IMA calibration code stamped on the solenoid body, so they are NOT fully interchangeable without ECU re-coding via ISTA.

Before You Order

Always verify the BMW OE stamping (13538616073) BEFORE ordering. The 0445110617 fits the N47 2.0L and N57 3.0L TDCI platforms — NOT the older N47D20A 0445110047 (F00VC01336 valve group) or the newer B47/B58 platforms. Each 0445110617 carries a unique IMA calibration code stamped on the solenoid connector cap — after installation, this code must be coded to the ECU via BMW ISTA / ISTA+ or compatible aftermarket scanner.

Installation Tips

  1. CRITICAL banjo bolt procedure: Rail-side banjo bolt — torque to 22-25 N·m using a dedicated 17 mm flare nut wrench. NEVER use an impact wrench on the banjo bolt; shock loading can deform the F00VC01503 control valve inside the injector body, causing a no-start condition.
  2. Feed tube union nut: 1.5 N·m (13 in·lb) — very light torque; overtightening cracks the injector body.
  3. Injector hold-down bolt: 18 N·m + 60° angle (Bosch CRI2 standard). The N47 in 320d/120d applications is particularly sensitive to over-torque on this bolt — verify final torque with a torque-angle gauge if available.
  4. Mandatory BMW ISTA / ISTA+ coding after installation — the IMA calibration code stamped on the solenoid connector cap must be written to the engine ECU. Failure to code results in persistent P201C / P201D codes, rough idle, and black smoke under load.
  5. After reinstallation, run an injector leak-back test: return flow at idle should be < 25 mL/min at 800 bar.
  6. Use NEW copper sealing washers and NEW O-rings on every reinstallation; reused seals take a compression set and leak combustion gases.
  7. Depressurize the fuel system via the lift pump and disconnect the battery before removing the electrical connector.
  8. Clean the injector bore with a reamer before inserting the new injector; debris in the bore is the #1 cause of combustion gas leakage.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the correct OE number for the BOSCH 0445110617 injector?

The 0445110617 carries the BMW OE reference 13538616073 (also printed as 1353-8 616 073). This OE covers the N47D20 2.0L and N57D30 3.0L TDCI platforms across the entire F-series and current Mini Countryman platforms. To verify, look at the BMW original injector label or check the ISTA code list under vehicle-specific repair procedures. The 0445110595 and 0445110596 are sister SKUs that share the same F00VC01503 control valve group; the 0986435262 is the Bosch aftermarket exchange number that fits all three N47 2.0L variants.

QWhat control valve is on the BOSCH 0445110617?

The 0445110617 is fitted with the Bosch F00VC01503 solenoid control valve (F00VC01xxx series, CRI2-20 generation, ~2000 bar). This valve is the same control valve group used on the sister SKUs 0445110382 / 0445110478 / 0445110479 / 0445110480 / 0445110595 / 0445110596 / 0445110616. The valve stamping is found on the solenoid connector cap. For the N47D20 2.0L and N57D30 3.0L TDCI platforms the F00VC01503 calibrates the HP rail pressure at ~2000 bar peak for Euro 5 emissions compliance.

QIs 0445110617 the same as 0445110595, 0445110596, 0445110616?

The 0445110617 / 0445110595 / 0445110596 / 0445110616 are sister SKUs sharing the same F00VC01503 control valve group and same BMW OE 13538616073 — they are mechanically interchangeable on the N47 2.0L TDCI platform. The 0445110595 / 0445110596 are alternate Bosch production runs for different cylinder positions. The 0445110616 is the BMW-tuning-spec variant. All carry unique IMA calibration codes stamped on the solenoid body. The 0986435262 is the Bosch aftermarket exchange number for any of these — installable on all four N47 2.0L variants.

QWhat BMW vehicles does 0445110617 fit?

The 0445110617 fits the BMW N47 2.0L TDCI and N57 3.0L TDCI engine family: BMW 1 Series (F20/F21) 120d / 118d (2011-2019), 2 Coupe / Active Tourer (F22/F45) 220d / 218d (2013-2017), 3 Series (E90/F30/F80) 320d / 318d (2010-2018), 3 Series (E92/E93) 325d / 330d (2009-2013), 5 Series (F10/F11) 520d / 525d / 530d (2010-2017), X1 (E84/F48) X-drive 18d / 20d / 25d (2010-2018). Cross-platform fitment: Mini Countryman (R60) Cooper SD 2.0D (2010-2016). All platforms share the BMW OE 13538616073 stamping on the original injector label.

QWhat are the symptoms of a failing 0445110617 on a BMW 320d (E91) 2.0L TDCI?

Common failure symptoms on N47/N57 platforms: (1) OBD fault codes P0201-P0206 — injector circuit malfunction on cylinders 1-6, with P201C / P201D for IMA calibration errors on the F00VC01503 valve; (2) cold-start misfires on cylinder 2 or 3 (most-affected on N47 inline-4), frequently misattributed to glow plugs; (3) black smoke on acceleration combined with 10-15% fuel consumption increase; (4) hard cold start with delayed smoke (rail pressure build slow); (5) excessive return flow at idle > 80 mL/min confirms internal valve or nozzle leakage. Diagnose on a CRD-700 / EPS200A test bench, then a BMW ISTA cut-out test before condemning the injector.

QWhat is the correct installation torque and procedure for the 0445110617?

Three torque locations on the N47/N57 platforms: (1) High-pressure fuel line banjo bolt (rail side): 22-25 N·m with a dedicated 17 mm flare nut wrench; NEVER use an impact wrench; (2) Injector hold-down bolt: 18 N·m + 60° angle (Bosch CRI2 standard); (3) Feed tube union nut: 1.5 N·m (13 in·lb). Tools: 17 mm flare nut wrench, 10/12 mm sockets, calibrated 3-30 N·m torque wrench. Always fit new copper sealing washers + new O-rings. The N47 in 320d/120d applications is particularly sensitive to over-torque on the hold-down bolt; verify final torque with a torque-angle gauge if available.

QDoes the 0445110617 require IMA / BMW ISTA coding after installation?

Yes. The 0445110617 is a complete solenoid common rail injector with cylinder-specific IMA values stored in the engine ECU. After installation, use BMW ISTA / ISTA+ (the official BMW diagnostic tool, also available via Autologic, ISTA+, or aftermarket scanners with BMW coverage like ICarsoft i950, Autel MaxiSys) to code the injector's IMA values. Common installation mistakes: (a) installing the injector without coding, resulting in cylinder imbalance, rough running, and persistent P201C / P201D codes; (b) entering wrong cylinder number — double-check which cylinder the failed injector was in before coding; (c) using the wrong IMA value — the IMA code for 0445110617 is on the injector label and must be entered to 0.01 mg/stroke precision.

QWhat warranty terms apply to the BOSCH 0445110617?

Standard aftermarket warranty is 12 months from date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects only (no atomisation, no electrical continuity, or > 80 mL/min return flow at 200 bar bench test). Return conditions: (1) manufacturing defect confirmed by bench test; (2) incorrect fitment confirmed before installation — if the injector does not match the build plate OE (13538616073) or the engine platform (N47D20 / N57D30); (3) physical damage in shipping. Non-returnable conditions: (1) installed and coded to ECU; (2) damage from fuel contamination (water, debris, algae); (3) over-torqued HP banjo bolt cracking the injector body; (4) cross-installed on N20/N26/B47 platforms (BMW petrol/B47 1.x replacements). NOTE: BMW factory-trained diagnostic tool required for IMA coding.

QWhat is the most common ordering mistake for the 0445110617?

Three frequent mistakes: (1) Confusing with 0445110616 / 0445110617 — these are N47 2.0L TDCI variants with different OE stampings; the 0445110617 fits 320d/120d F-series and is the most common, while 0445110616 fits older E90 variants. Verify the BMW OE stamping (13538616073). (2) Confusing with 0261500057 / 0445110047 (BMW N47D20A earlier build) — these use a different F00VC01336 valve group and a different HP loop fitting; the older 0445110047 fits early E90 320d engines (2007-2010) only. (3) Confusing 0445110617 with 0445110595 / 0445110596 (N47 twin-turbo VGT variant) — these are higher-output dual-stage turbos and use a different IMA calibration; the 0445110617 will under-fuel on a twin-turbo N47.
