Hey everyone, just got this 2004 330Ci in December and it finally broke down on me. Pretty sure the water pump failed but just wanted to get a second opinion if you guys think anything else is wrong with it. Got a few videos of a quick run to make sure it was the water pump, but was surprised...

So I recently replaced the water pump on my 330i after dinding out the last one was shot, and everything turned out fine. I've been watching it closely and have seen nothing until this last week. When I start the car in the morning, some coolant drips (slowly) near the front of the engine, under...

I just bought my 325i and when i plugged in my scan tool while driving I noticed that my engine was at 99C and my radiator was at 27C. I tried to bleed the system with some distilled water just to see if that was the issue but I don't believe that it is. The radiator stayed stone cold the...

So I’m new to BMWs and I would like to know what maintenance should I expect to do. So far I’ve had to do the water pump and the reservoir. Car was working fine when I bought it. But then I had antifreeze leak.

So, I just replaced my oil filter housing gasket. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, like coolant leaks or other oil drips. All the cooling system parts were in good shape. I did replace the water pump/alternator etc. belt, which was cracked. Soon after that, I started hearing a...

I have a 00 328ci my engine is over heating... and leaking coolant.. the reason this all started is the fan wasn’t plugged in the sensor got unplugged and it over heated and exploded on the side of the road... coolant was everywhere. Since then I bought a new expansion tank and expansion tank...

Hi all, I am trying to find out what this noise is: https://youtu.be/Cmmt3LqA6j4 Maybe the water pump? Cheers

Hey guys, Does our forum have a sponsor that can help give a discount on an electric water pump? I"m afraid mine is starting to fail. Or can someone point me to where I can get a reasonably priced one? Need one asap. Thanks!

so i have a 2002 325 with about 163k miles. I had an overheating issue last summer, replaced the water pump, thermostat, and electric fan. haven't had a problem since. Last night, i was idling in the taco bell drivethru and my temperature gauge started going up and the car shut off. i opened the...

my water pump failed which caused my mechanical fan to fail which flung fan blades into my radiator and hoses. i got new everything but then when i took off my old water pump the block behind it is cracked. can't simply get new block so i may weld / jb weld / ***8230;? any advice would be...

First of all, I know there are many posts under " head gasket" but this is my first post and I still had to ask before spending big bucks. A little background,(and the biggest regret of my car ownership life) I had to drive my car after the expansion tank cracked, all the coolant was leaking...

Hey, over the weekend I had a water pump failure. Have some input on a few things i noticed before the failure which I will post to this thread tonight. Just want to get the questions out there so I can get parts ordered. Front bearing on pump is completely gone. I took the pump off. I...

What is everyone's opinion of their water pump, its sold on bavauto for about 195$ does anyone have any experience with it and is it worth it over the stock BMW pump?

So the other day I posted that all my coolant flew out of my expansion tank on the way home the other night. I re bleed the system, but I didn't add any more antifreeze. Last night it was extremely cold with the wind chill, went to start my car and the alternator was struggling. I hooked it up...

Hello Everyone ... Hoping you can help me with my issue, I own a '2000' 323i with 99,000 miles and today I replaced my coolant expansion tank due to a crack in it along with the oil thermostat. But now the heater doesn't work and it overheats , I have tried to bleed it since I changed the...

Yesterday my cooling pump ceased up randomly and ripped apart most of the plastic components in the engine compartment due to the serpentine belt snapping off and destroying the cooling fan and the fan shroud and causing the cooling fan to cease as well. Has anyone else ever had to deal with...

I have a 2001 330ci , I changed water pump and thermostat correctly ,water pump was toasted and the thermostat as well. I put in antifreeze and then I drive my car reading normal temp 12'o clock on temp reading then after a short time of driving it soon climbs up and up (quickly) . I think I...
