Thanks for the great DIY! Just completed the job in a few hours on mine with 74k mls. A few things I didn't need to do. Airbox comes out as 1 piece, just two bolts on the right holds it in place, remove the snorkel, loosen plenum hose clamp, pull up and wiggle out. Plenum box sits on top of the OSV and pops right off when you remove the 8 hose clamps so no need for Ignition coil covers and coolant reservoir to be removed. The 3rd + 4th clamp on the left are a little tougher - use a shorter extension to get at them.

Fantastic video! Only thing is that these cards have an electric bleeding procedure since the water pump is electric. 1) Insert the key into the dash slot and hit the starter button (but don’t start the engine - e.g. keep your foot off the bake/clutch). 2) When the ignition is on, set the heater to the highest temp (84 deg.) and set the fan on low. 3) Hold down the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds then release. This activates the water pump and it will cycle for about 12 minutes to vent all the trapped air into the coolant reservoir (it sounds like a min washing machine). Don’t open the reservoir cap or bleed screw during the venting process! (you’ll have start the process over) You may want to hook up a extra battery to the under-hood jumper points to keep the car’s battery from running down. 4) Once the water pump stops after 12 minutes, open the reservoir cap (it will hiss a little) and add coolant until the measuring stick (ball indicator) is 6 mm above the top of the filler neck.

Very informative, I really like the extra little tips you give. Those tend to save DIYers a lot of time. One note, you don't need to loosen the oil separator or remove the spark plug covers (and by extension don't need to loosen the coolant expansion tank) to remove the plenum. All you need is a flexible bit extension with a 6mm socket (or was it an 8mm?). You can easily snake that to the 8 clamps.

@charliehustle53128 жыл бұрын
+Charlie Hustle btw i just replaced my thermostat at 35K miles. this diy was helpful, but didn't really refer to the coolant and whether it should be drained. I ended up using a turkey baster connect to a rubber hose to drain the reservoir. Emptied about a gallon and resulted in very little coolant loss when disconnecting the radiator hose. Also, beware the bolts on the oil separators are aluminum so if you drop one (like i did) you can't retrieve it with a magnetic tool. I found it wasn't necessary to loosen them anyway. Don't pry the thermostat out of the housing. pull straight up, alternating sides until it loosens.

Awesome video, it really helped. Thank you for posting it! :) On the way in, you didn't mention the cover over the tensioner bolt. I expected an offset bolt on the tensioner frame; turns out you have to remove the cap and just pull the tensioner itself with that 14mm wrench. You also don't mention any tricks for getting the water pump pulley out. it's atight fight, both coming off or going on. Any tricks for getting it off and on?
@OvalboreCars8 жыл бұрын
tensioner cap is an omission, apologies -- I have worked on BMWs with those caps dating back to 1991 so I know exactly what they are and how to deal with them (usually they're missing) but yes good point. pry under the lip with a flat blade screw driver and it pops right off. the pulley wasn't all that tight a fit here, came right off and popped right out with the belt off to the side.

Hi, this is a great DIY video, very thorough and clear. I am having difficulty mounting the belt onto the water pump pulley after replacing the waterpump. Pushing down the tensioner is not giving enough slack to let the belt get onto the pulley. It is wet from the coolant that dripped from the thermostat housing. Any tips on how to mount the belt? just let it dry and try again? Thanks!
@bbrukhalian13026 ай бұрын
Was using a hex socket (the bolt got stripped slightly and a regular wrench wouldn’t hold it anymore) to rotate the tensioner clockwise and the ratchet head kept hitting a steel pipe, not allowing full slack in the belt. Used a ring wrench and it solved the issue. Thanks again for the great video!

Makes sense. The plenum doesn't look like it needs to be off and the airbox is a piece of cake to remove.

Here is threat I posted. Just to give an idea whats going on. Hello. So Ive finally replaced oil filter housing on my M3. When I did such job I took off pretty much everything, radiator, fan, most of the pulleys, vibration damper and housing itself. My car was sitting for almost 2 months and 1 month with all those stuff out due to fact that I had to order some parts as I was going along with repairs. As I was working on it and installing new oil filter housing I have started the car without alternator plugged In a few times(no belts, no coolant, just a quick 2 min run to see oil leaks). Housing that I have used is from 2011 M3 with a different pulley. Some people say that belt needs to be rerouted and go over power steering but that will make it spin in a different direction, I left it the way it was before. Also 2008 year was making both pulley types so its not an issue. So as I was putting everything back together it didn't have enough power to crank the engine with all the belts so I jump started with my friends car. So when everything was back together now I have check engine light on, as well as some emission problem on a screen. On top of that only 1 GALLON OF COOLANT AND 1 GALLON OF distilled water goes in before reservoir tops off. I've let car warm up for good 15 minutes as well driving it for another 5 with giving it some good power and its not overheating but level is not dropping as well? Can someone please explain what is going on? I know I shouldn't of not started the car without alternator but I wasn't trying to put everything together just to see if housing still leaks. It is not covered under warranty, car has about 87kkk miles on it. I have to do everything myself.

+NobodyCares This was a friend's car I was doing service on at the time -- I'd be happy to do another video with the common things to look for but would be a stupid video without an E90 M3 in front of me. That being said the PPI is king on these cars. the main failures I note are as follows: 1.) engine rod bearings. you can often times get oil analysis from a company like Blackstone Laboratories in IN (not a paid sponsor, I just love their service) to pick up on high lead and brass levels in the oil before major damage is done. this should be noted in service history if it has been done prior to you buying the car, if not -- I strongly suggest at VERY least getting a drained oil sample from the car at time of PPI, sending it in and checking metals levels in the oil, if not -- budget to have the bearings replaced. 2.) throttle actuators. the electric fiddly bit that actually opens and closes the throttle bodies on the S65 engine proportionate to your foot potentiometer (throttle pedal) 3.) clutch release bearings. I have seen this a few times on 2008 cars only. you'll notice a strange clutch take up. requires clutch kit replacement. I would also as a rule avoid the DCT. get a 6 speed. it'll hold value better and will not cost you basically anything to run. plus side is the car is 200 lbs lighter without the DCT. Strongly suggest the 4 door sedan as well. more rigid body shell and the interior will hold up to the test of time better than the 2 door. (just how it has always been on the 3 series). less common issues will ALL be brought to light by a PPI. neglected services on trans and diff oils, potential structural issues on subframes from cars that have been hustled on the track a lot, etc. check brake rotors and pads. Pads are cheap but a set of rotors for this car is $1,000-$1,200+

I'm guessing you're not in the states, so I don't know what engine you have -- no US market E90 except the M3 and the 335D have a mechanical water pump driven by the belt. it is possible the bearings in your water pump (if mechanically driven) are going bad as well. step 1 is pull the belt off when engine is cold and spin all of the idlers and accessories, feel for notches, difficulty turning, play etc.

I'm in the states, my M3 is a 2008 e90 it has a mechanical pump. I can't figure out why the squeal would go away when I would spray water on the pulley. I checked the bolts on the water pump pulley.They weren't lose but felt lightly torqued. So I tightened them up. Squeal came back quieter the next day. Sprayed WD40 on the bolts with it running and in the center of the pulley. Squeal stopped for about two seconds and then came back.

plastic water pump? What BMW thinking
@OvalboreCars8 жыл бұрын
they stopped making plastic ones in 1995, but 1996+ are Composite. still not great. not really all that many failures with the impellers anymore though like the plastic ones used to. most failures I see are bearing related.

BMWs throw their water pumps and cooling parts way too quickly. I bet this car doesn't even have 50k on it. I just changed the mechanical water pump on my Uncle's S55 AMG W220 but the car has 295,000kms on it. I reused the thermostat since it was replaced not too long ago. Plastic electric water pumps and plastic cooling pipes aren't a good idea especially when it needs to cool such a sweet high revving motor like this one.

121K miles on this M. pump was still solid, replaced preventatively.

odd, seems thousands of others havent had a single problem following this FREE loose guideline which covers every step necessary to do the job. Maybe it's not me, it's you.
