Replacing The Water Pump on B58C Engine, 2019 BMW X5, (G05) 

2.5-3 hrs

@@koolfredsbimmertech5617 I’m on the same boat. Mechanic charge me 6.5 hours for one of thermostat(it got 2). While he doing the work. He found water pump is leaking. Better change it. I goes “alright do what ever you need to do.”he charged me 3.5hours extra labor for water pump. So all up is 10 hours labor. Feel a little got ripped off.

@@XX-ud7hj on the G05 X5, I believe the thermostat aka the heat management module is under the intake manifold. So that’s why that repair was 6.5 hours. Good Luck!

It’s a vacuum coolant filler. It uses compressed air to pull a vacuum then it sucks in the coolant. If u use one of those systems you don’t have to bleed the cooling system.

They come with green from the factory. U can use blue if you’re doing a coolant flush.

@@koolfredsbimmertech5617thank you!

U can buy and use a ball torx T30 socket of you’ll have to remove the harmonic balancer.

Update* Took a long T30 bit, took my grinder and narrowed down the shaft thin enough to give me the clearance between the water pump pulley & Crank pulley to get the bottom left bolt out.

@@jdwild3453 Sounds good! That’s a lot better than running to the parts store to buy a new tool. Especially when u are in the middle of the job!

I would recommend going to the dealer with your vin # because year to year the part # can & may change.
