n54 life, scan tool saved the day, fortunately parked in driveway before shutting off, fan was zoomin & began to notice temps climbing abnormally high but turned off before overheating code, car never started back up… my hypothesis, jump starting the car beforehand caused my failure

[@matthudak3485]

This just happened to me at 65k, I got the red overheated light. After letting it cool down I drove it really slow home (luckily I was less than a mile away). Bought the water pump/thermostat kit off FCP Euro and installed it myself. No more issues!!!

How much that cost you... it happened me yesterday. Got the overheated light. Coot it down for several hours in the gas station and then drove 25 mikes back to home without any issues and sign? Do you think I am fine or gotta check up?

I’m super happy the previous owner had mine replaced a few months before I purchased. By a reputable indy shop. Now I’m running MHD sport cool to keep temps down in the summer.

[@paulgrant3447]

Excellent explanation, and exactly what I am experiencing with my 2011 E89 Z4 twin turbo. The sound you recorded of the failing pump was also identical to the sound mine was making. Sounded like an old wooden rocking chair creaking every few seconds and nothing flowing at the top of the reservoir. Now the fun begins on replacing that, and probably the thermostat while I am going that deep.

[@SimplyCarThings]

thanks! glad you were able to diagnose the issue and that the video helped out

[@Shmigzy]

So when ur car was warmed up it would make like shaking or creaking every like 1-2 seconds bc that's what I'm hearing alittle when I'm warmed up and just chillen 2011 e92 335

[@vintagetrk]

I also have an E89 twin turbo Z4. I'm buying up all the common maintenance parts IE water Pump Thermostat Coil packs and other essential maintenance parts just to keep my toy running reliably for years to come.

[@FrankDisseldorp]

A common fault code with E9x is '2E85 Electric coolant pump, communication'. With this code the waterpump cannot communicate with the ECU. As a precaution the pump will run at maximum power when it can't communicate. The waterpump should work quietly. In the case the pump is producing abnormal sound then it's probably better to replace it.

[@shawnmiller7640]

I have that code and 2e8b ibs sensor code

[@pyyd]

I have exactly this 2E85 fault code (and only this one). Bleeding test is successful and the pump works without strange sounds. Is the error caused by the coolant pump itself or something other and can I still drive my car like this without causing damage?

[@christophertolosa7142]

I just replaced my water pump not too long ago and i had most of the symptoms you mentioned. Another sign of failing I had was when my oil level sensor stopped working. i had an extra sensor laying around but it still said inactive on my dash. Also when i would turn the car off you could hear the water pump making noise for almost two minutes after the engine was off. When I swapped the pumps my oil level sensor started working again.

[@save2rave61]

Really. Why would that be. Cause my level sensor went out. Just kept reading. Now my pumps out.

Took it apart and all looked fine - electronics and motor seal. didn't do thermostat on either as I haven't ever had one fail on my many BMW's.

So I’m looking at a 2009 BMW 335i with 117k miles. Work and maintenance has been religiously kept and it has also been equipped with plenty of Dinan add ons (cold air intake, Intercooler, oil cooler) just wanted to ask what kind of mods and add ons can help with reliability on a BMW, specifically a 335i

Don't do it

[@matt.b.4971]

i bought and instal a VDO water pump from rock auto and failed after 1865miles. No coolant leaking. noisy fan and termometer gauge went ont, and then the gaz pedal shot off, cant barely ride 12mph. The engine still very cold no heat at all under the hood.

[@tombourne2917]

Great video, and very helpful. My 2013 335i had only 37K, was still under extended warranty, when the cooling fan started running full blast just like you described. Took it to dealer, they said it was a sensor. Got it back, and it started happening again. Ironically, right after warranty expired. I'm so frustrated with the Dealer, here in San Francisco. There just terrible. Ended up having head gasket problems, etc.. Just a nightmare.. Today, the car has 48K on it..which is very low for 2013...Yet to have so many issues..What a true waste of time and money I have invested in this car..

[@johngalv9288]

My 2006 325i is making the same noise! and overheating. I've been searching online as I suspected the water pump. Thanks for the video! it confirms my suspicion.

[@mystiqlufa6205]

I also got the overheated coolant light. And also put it on a scanner, and it said the RPM’s were slowed, and at one point it shutoff. But i just did the bleeding system, and it still bleeding and sounds normal…

[@Autilorizzgoneee]

Good day boss, now I have a 2006 e90, no overheating issues till I had a mechanic work on the oil filter housing because of leaks, everything done, took car out for a drive, after driving for 20 minutes or so, yellow temp light flashes, coolant leaking from the hose that goes into the oil filter housing, fixed and drove for another 35 minutes with no issue, third day, tried going out, after 10 minutes, yellow temp flashes again, pulled over, same leak reappeared. Changed hose, start car for 15 minutes, pump ran and after 15 minutes, yellow temp warning light reappeared with radiator fan cranked high, no leaks. Car cooled down, did self bleed and waterpump ran for over 14 minutes in self bleed mode. Once car is started after 15-18 minutes, temp light flashes, could that be the waterpump or something else? I don't wanna throw money away on another waterpump if that's not the issue.

[@stoicadaniel1909]

hello, nice and simple video. i have an issue with my 320i 2008 e91. temperature of coolant on highway is about 77-82, on city 84-85. i suspect thermostat stuck on open or semi-open. is it right ? i dont wanna believe waterpump crash, i hope that. all the best.

[@mikeburns3616]

Honestly with these cars I’ve learned just replace all the fail points ahead of time. Even if there’s no signs of failure. You never know what parts have been used or abused, how many miles they have on them or not hat kind of miles which matter in most cases. Just replace it all slowly but surely and now you know all these parts are healthy and working and when the next replacement should take place. I replaced all my transmission solenoids, oil pan, trans pan/filter, every gasket I can think of for coolant, air, and oil. Valve cover and gasket, new upgraded radiator, aluminum intercooler and all aluminum piping. New fuel pumps and it’s essentially “ bullet proof. “ I say that sparingly because I’m on a custom tune maxing out my turbo 22psi and fuel lol so turbo will go any day now. But that’s also on the list to upgrade down the line ps2 with a s2 hpfp

[@The252000]

on the n55 one morning i was experiencing mega power loss from 2nd to 4th gear at around 2k to 3.5k rpms when i would try to floor it like if it wasn’t building boost and the fan began to go crazy( no check engine light) , i did some research and came to conclusion that it was the water pump beginning to fail. however i just turned off the car for a bit and it all went away was working back to normal. could this have been just a small error or is my water pump beginning to fail ?

[@exzirr]

Mine went out in june. I took it apart to see what happen. There is a bushing that keeps the coolant from the fan motor. The shaft of the propellers eats away of this bushing. Once there is no more water seal it floods all the electronics in the water pump housing and shorts out. I learned that in Europe these watervpumps last for ever but not so in the USA. Also the new water pumps as of 2017 last 150,000 ish and most tote a life time replacement warranty. Remeber that blue coolant... Its made with silica I heard.

I have an 08 335xi coupe at 100,000 miles and my water pump didn't actually "fail" in the traditional way. The plastic housing decided to crack and leak coolant at a rapid rate. I replaced both the water pump and thermostat. It was not fun on an AWD model. The front sub-frame is a real pain in the ass. Following a detailed write-up i found it took me approx 3 hours to disassemble and 3 hours to put back together.

Guys, I just bought an e90 325i n52b25a. The pump was working fine when the car was cold and it was flushing the fluid, but when it got to 90 degrees and hotter it stopped flushing the coolant and it just started blowing the fluid from the expansion vessel. Is it a problem with the water pump or is it something else? Also I've been seeing that the car starts to overheat and maybe it doesnt work properly.

So my pump was replaced 30,000 miles ago with a oem one and thermostat done by a BMW shop. I'm losing coolant but the pump still does the automatic bleed all the way through. I M not getting any codes until the coolant is low and its only one code. I don't think it the water pump I think I have a bad hose. Even when the coolant got low the cars temp didn't go below the center 120 mark. (Canadian car so it might read different than USA.)

Mine failed at 118K miles. 2011 E93 6spd. Couple of weeks ago I was on a long trip (5k miles trip), just before the end of the trip I stared hearing the pump even after the car is locked. Then engine oil sensor started throwing errors ( unable to measure oil). I ignored and thought that the oil sensor is messed up and will take care of it after my trip. Finally one of the coolant hose cracked and waterpump also failed. Was stranded and had to repair in a local shop. The car was not overheating though. I thought of replacing the pump before the trip but due to time constraints couldn't do it.

Believe it or not I have 3hundred thousand on the clock still same water pump 323i 2litre 6cylender 😉

[@moebeing1190]

I think the pump is original, 152,000

[@vostrovostro8824]

At 6:45 if you open it when it's hot, you won't have a face anymore. It would be burned by the hot coolant oozing out. 😂 DANGEROUS ADVICE !!!!

[@evanfimiani9314]

Anyone know where you can get those fog light delete? Example his thumbnail photo

[@SimplyCarThings]

the fog light delete is exclusive to the 335is you'd have to look for an e92 335is front bumper

[@zionswope3114]

Only at 6k rpm’s from 3-4 gear my check engine overheat sign comes on then turns off does anyone know why ?

[@joannatemaratzo7082]

what if it doesn’t make that sound when it’s bad. mine isn’t doing anything

[@naeshantejoshua9840]

Getting mines done now thankyou

[@bosslady1999]

My coolant kept leaking out and finally the coolant reservoir exploded... thank goodness my car never ran hot, I would fill it up when the low coolant light came on.

[@SimbaTheGreat]

That’s what’s happening to me. 130k miles. 2011 e92 gonna replace it

[@JM.Magico]

What if you filled it but the light still comes on turning engine on and off cold start and after being driven

[@outlaw8388]

So i put a new water pump in at 144k miles reset the code but im still getting water pump codes 2e85. I did not change my thermostat. Any suggestions? Need help. Thanks

[@ObsydianXshinsoo]

Hi mate, after 2 years 😂😂😂 but have you found the solution?

[@paulpateman3968]

Another great video really informative love u vids bro 👊👊

[@SimplyCarThings]

thank you bro :)

[@loveordie4]

Good video bro thanks!

[@martinhaynes19]

When I tested my water pump the water came out then stop repeatedly does that mean it’s bad

[@chucke3305]

Was is bad?

[@martinhaynes19]

chuck e yeah had to change it and my thermostat

[@chucke3305]

@@martinhaynes19 thank you. Same problem also loud screeching when hot like a witch screaming under the hood . I just took off the a/c pulley but the bearings sound good.

[@chucke3305]

Turned out to be the PCv valve on the valve cover. The plunger was torn.

[@eric_2393]

Mine literally broke today😭 but thank you for making this video this helped me so much

[@KonstantinosDounias]

Ok so Im going through the same errors and the one you're referring to is code 2e81 Electric coolant pump, speed deviation and ye its painful hearing it, you just confirmed I am due on changing mine ! Literally my eye brows went up hahahaha

[@pmg1997]

So far no water pump failure, but something is going on with my shifting! Car hesitates or is slow to shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, don't know what it is!

[@adriangutierrez9582]

Beastly BMW Use a BMW scan tool

[@ojomominott4587]

Transmission or sensor problem.

[@pmg1997]

@@ojomominott4587 actually it was the IBS, intelligent battery sensor! Mine was faulty, and my car was in limp mode. All cleared up when I changed the IBS.

[@cuttingedgecool7235]

You're sharing highly useful knowledge, thank you!

[@SimplyCarThings]

thank you!

[@LCI335]

my first water pump failure happened when the car only had 25k miles. 2011 335i n55 e90

[@SimplyCarThings]

wow that's early

[@LCI335]

I think its just a ticking bomb with these pumps lol.

[@SimplyCarThings]

i would agree

[@antwalk7772]

Just be ready to change at 30,000 miles.

[@jorisbonson386]

Hmmm.. the water pump in my e92 335d is belt driven not electric...

[@kalich6252]

Your 4th test is wrong. That way which you show you activate Auxiliary coolant pump, not main one. E9x have 2 collant pumps. MAIN pump and AUXILIARY pump (little one), which is used for bleeding coolant system and for "REST" button, which will activate circulation for heating system even with engine off. These auxiliary pumps fail aswell, brushes :)

[@paulwishart4803]

I think my pump failed last night.... luckily only a few miles from home but had to stop twice and let it cool down, 71k so now it’s going in the workshop.

[@SimplyCarThings]

sorry to hear! Hopefully you'll get it back up soon!

[@krabes8613]

Wow mine lasted to 164,082 miles

[@ezmirza]

Excellent advice nice video

[@SimplyCarThings]

thank you

[@thelifeofty8542]

Man mine failed at 105k in my E60 5 series 😭😭

[@frankponcherello8128]

Great video! My fan is running really fast and is really loud. I have 88K miles on my E90 so I better replace my water pump ASAP.

[@moebeing1190]

Did you replace it ? I don't think mine has been replaced, and now there is 152,000 miles.

[@frankponcherello8128]

@@moebeing1190 I did. It fixed the issue.
