To activate the water pump do I have to disconnect the battery in the back of the car and use a car charger to activate it

[@xcontrabandit]

Did you start the process on an empty water tank?

[@mariolourenco5885]

And what do you do when your auxiliary pump is not working, can you get away with just bleeding it the old way without screwing anything?

[@65corvete]

If you don't have a battery charger how would you power the electrical water pump?

[@juanabelino6956]

Great video! Thanks. Just one question… if the system is sealed back up prior to starting the Water Pump how does the water pump get the air out of the system? It sounds like the system will have an air pocket if the air has nowhere to escape. I could be missing something. Thanks again.

[@johnjones607]

The air is released into the void in the tank, when you remove the cap it will escape. I assume if the cap is off, when the water flows it will create tiny bubbles which will end up being drawn back into the system, dunno, i've tried it cap on and cap off and i still cant get rid of the air in my E92 system :(

[@EcoupeNmt]

@@johnjones607 same problem right now 😭 I had expansion tank and radiator blow at the same time and left me being towed. I replaced both of them and feel like there's air in the lower hose. It's staying cool to the touch and the upper HOT I can't leave my driveway. It has lost power since and I have no clue what's what with it right now. I just bought it a couple months ago and so far I've spent more time repairing than I have driving 🤬

[@johnjones607]

@@EcoupeNmt Oh damn that aint good!! I could hear air in the top pipes, tried over and over to get rid with no luck. I had to have my thermostat replaced about a week ago and they seem to have got rid of the air, they didn't use this method, they used the two bleed valve things on the other pipes to get rid apparently. They hadn't heard of this despite being a prestige car repair shop...Bentleys, Mercs, BMW's etc. They said they did it cold, dunno what they meant, i assume the engine was running and they undid the other bleed things on the other pipes you can see. It seems to have got rid of the air but now it looks like my heater matrix/core is gunked up as i only get heat from one side of the car lol!!!!

[@Flyingaceful]

Do I have to perform the coolant bleeding procedure if I'm only adding coolant?

[@ruggahklip4073]

[@kameronberviller7157]

If my water pump is making a beeping sound when I go to bleed the system is that telling me it’s broken? I just replaced it not even 15k miles ago

Can you tell me some tips? thanks and very specific your videos

Hi. Ricardo. Have you had your heating problem solved? Because I facinbthe same issues after changing my thermostat and water pump. Pls update. Thanks in advance man.

Is it necessary to change the coolant? BMW say it’s lifelong.

Bro all the other videos on this sucks this is proba ly the best one so far

[@MDHenry4]

I did this as well and had no issues with the battery but I did turn the headlights off. In addition there is no reason to disconnect the battery nor leave the cap off.

[@johnjones607]

If you disconnect the battery the procedure wont work as the battery is the thing that powers the water pump o.0

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS THE NORMAL OPERATING COOLANT TEMPERATURE FOR BMW E90 320I

It’s between 90-112c. There are 4 temp settings on the e90. Depending on how you drive, they switch between the 3-4 temp settings.

I didn’t hear the EWP turn on… does that mean there are no air pockets in there?

Well explain 👍

[@MeeRulz]

Hello I have bmw e90 2007 I replaced the thermostat and water pump, flushed the coolant and added new one. This BMW model has no electric water pump,right as it doesn't activate by turning on the heater and pressing the accelerator for 10 seconds So I tried opening the bleed screw and add coolant. I patiently waited to make the fluid stable and no bubbles visible. (Not sure if I did the right thing though). I closed the reservoir cap and started the engine. Temperature starting to increase. It reached 105degree celsius and slowly reach 108degree celcius. After 5mins it was at 110degree celcius so I turned it off. Is the temperature normal? If not what should I do? What is the maximum temperature for me to turn it off? Thanks

[@drivethru1835]

How do you know if there’s still air trapped in the system 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@benzoh28]

Is the last step necessary with the whole water pump running ?

[@lukerichardson6015]

Help!! when pressing accelerator it's still not pumping after following everything else on the vid. 2006 bmw 320i E91 I'm sure it has electric pump but it's just not pumping?

[@johnjones607]

Put the key in, press the start button, dont have foot on clutch or brake......then follow the same procedure. He doesn't mention you need to push the start button, maybe thats where you are going wrong? Either that or you dont have an electric pump

[@rockygears5974]

How do know we have a electric water pump?

Wot about if we don't have electric pump water?...how we take air of from the sistem

[@romainrichard2941]

Same question for me, my e90 with n47 engine w/o electric water pump...

[@mohe81]

Strange, I saw exactly this procedure in another video before and wanted to double check, if it was correct. I did exactly as explained, but nothing happened. Ignition on without starting motor, temperature on max, ventilation on lowest level but not off, 100% throttle for over 10 seconds - nothing. Luckily I only lost a little bit of coolant when cleaning the EGR valve, so I just bleeded it the classic way with running engine. BMW e91 LCI n47 2009

[@Jude5ys]

it seems that you have mechanical water pump which is ran by belt.

[@wrathofdiablo]

Dont we have to bleed off the coolant from underneath the car through the hose and then refill ? I'm a bit confused as some other youtubes videos mentioned this procedure differently.

[@luigii6313]

Yea that’s the manual way bmws have an electric water pump so you don’t have to do that this is the easy way of doing it

[@sidon1979]

my pump doesnt turn on after accelerator depress, but the car only shows coolant light when you turn off ignition and no error codes in the scan when I check it with a scan tool

Hi, i just did a coolant flush. i was only able to add 1.65 gallon of 50/50 mix. Even after i did the bleeding procedure it's still max out. is that normal ? ( i did the bleeding procedure atleast 3-4 times just to make sure). "2006 330i E90 N52" Thank you.

[@isaiahjuan]

That's normal. You won't be able to get all of the coolant out of the system. So adding 1.65 gallons and having it max out, after bleeding, is good.

[@turbocharge2512]

I used tab water along with this anti-freezer... does that make any difference?

[@760Kid]

It willcorride all of your cooling system components. You need to use distilled water. It will cost you one dollar for a gallon. I would drain all of that water coolant mixture out and start over.

@@760Kid if you do a flush is 1 gallon of water and 1 gallon of the coolant enough to fill up the tank?

The cap should be off. When the cap is off u literally see the air leaving

[@Hoetobeajew]

@@VictorLaVance theres a bleed screw next to the cap, that should be open.

[@maxbradley9534]

@@Hoetobeajew According to BMW the screw should be closed while venting and the expansion tank cap should be in place. I think all the air will work its way to the top of the expansion tank. Then when you check the level after finishing venting you add more coolant if the level is low and this will then have displaced all the air from the system

Maybe you don't have one? If you do have one, then your pump is screwed but that would be VERY obvious as your car would go into limp mode after it warmed up and the fan would sound like a jumbo jet.
