I had the same pump leak, so glad I found your vid after I spend a good amount of time figuring out how to get this thing out. Thanks

Thank you 🙏

[@mechanicdave4899]

Thanks man! I have shop key pro and I was having a hell of a time finding info other than remove this plug and these clamps. It never always says what how how to get it out. I was trying to lower the subframe lol I was frustrated and then seen this. Thank you!

Hah yeah I only made that video because I tried doing it that way first lol. I’m happy it helped you out!

Hi, Thanks for the video. Can you reiterate if you pull the pump and therm out up front by the coolant fan or is there a better way?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Definitely pull the cooling fan and remove it from the top.

[@joncattletown557]

Nice video and instructions. You said these pumps had a pretty high failure rate. At what mileage should I be worried about the pump failure? I have 2013 X5 35i with E70 chassis and N55 engine, which has just passed 50k miles. Thank you.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

I usually see it between 75-100k miles but some last longer and others don’t make it that long, I wouldn’t stress about it much

[@joncattletown557]

@@EuropeanAutoRepair I see @1:07 there is another rubber thing facing up with three small holes on it. I think it is the charge pipe holder. Do you need a long needle nose plier to pull the rubber holder out before pulling the fan out? Thanks.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

I believe you can usually just pull those straight up out of there

[@joncattletown557]

@@EuropeanAutoRepair I see. So just pull both the rubber holder and the fan straight up together. Thanks.

How many hours of labor did u take to complete the job ?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

I think it pays around 3 hours

@@EuropeanAutoRepair I have the same problem same year and model. The body shop is quoting me 2700

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Hmm sounds like a bit much. How much are the parts?

[@23cardelga]

@@EuropeanAutoRepair I guess a new pump is 700 but I think im gonna look for a used one

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

@@23cardelga pretty high failure rate on those pumps. I wouldn't mess with a used one.
