Great video as My 2019 430i water pump is leaking through the weep hole. Your step by step instructions are great and especially the o ring from the water pump being taken out that is still in the engine. REALLY appreciate your professional approach and cautions you give. Buying the pump brand name does save a lot of money. THANK YOU SIR!
Love the video...very well done! My question is... would you suggest replacing anything else while in there as preventative....such as Belt, thermostat (unit) etc.... ??
Thank you, I’d say it is all condition based and for every car recommendation would be different, replacing thermo regulating unit doesn’t require touching water pump at all. Assess condition of mentioned items prior the repair and go from there😉
Great job in explaining the whole process! So if the heater is working as it should and no overheating, that's usually an indication that there are no more air in the system correct?
I know the water pump is attached to a larger bracket. Sometimes the gasket between the bracket and the engine will fail causing leaks. Replacing the bracket is much more involved, requiring removal of the alternator and AC compressor. How often in your experience dies bracket fail vs just the water pump?
I thought you had to do the self bleed where you go - engine off, full hot,low fan and push accelerator to floor for like 10-15 seconds and you hear the electric pump running. It runs cycle and cuts off.
That was my understanding as well, plus isn't there an electric wp? How do you activate that for bleeding like in previous years. I just did a turbo coolant line on our 2019 x3 (same motor) and I can not get the electric wp to activate but I've done all the manual steps I can find. Really no clear procedure besides using a vacuum filler which I don't have.
Thanks very detailed Video! Would I be able to replace Heat management module following your steps? It looks like I'll have easy access following your steps. Thanks In advance
I have 2013 x5 3.5 i I install new battery after a month now. I'm getting battery drain sing..But not all the time .before I go to bmw dealer to get checked any Suggestion
Get it diagnosed that’s the best suggestion, intelligent battery sensor might be failing but it’s just a guess so get it diagnosed properly and don’t replace everything you find online
I’d say condition based, just inspect it once in a while usually belts can easily last for 80-100k miles so if you want to do preventative maintenance just stick to those intervals but if you change the belt change the tensioner as well every time
@@Zeiten Thank you very much.I have BMW 3GT 320i with B48 engine.It is 2018 Year but very low mileage about 29tkm.I have checked the belt looks good and also tensioner w/o any noises
Depending on your location you probably have lots of time before you can start worrying about those things. Just open the hood once in a while a take a look
Thanks a lot for the video... I'm about to do the same job in my B48, but I have some questions... In order to change all the coolant fluid, should I use a vacuum valve (venturi valve) or can I just start the pump and let the engine do the job? If I use the vacuum valve... is there anything else that I must consider? I mean, probably something related with the thermoregulating unit o any other pump or, probably, other part. Thank you for the answers!
It’s m54, and the video is for ccv replacement here it is DIY E53 BMW X5 Crankcase Vent Valve Kit Replacement (CCV, PCV) M54 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aZSPr12-ba0.html
I have the exact same car… color, wheels, sunroof, engine, interior and the cooling system has been a nightmare. I had a hose replaced that connects to the reservoir, just changed the water pump, now the car is leaking coolant again somewhere deep behind or under the engine.
@ciabatta7538 could be, although it seems coolant flange is failing more often and sooner, i’ll make a video on both of those repairs hopefully in the near future
