DIY BMW B48 Water Pump Replacement F-Series (330i, 430i)

[@dmcd7333]

Great video as My 2019 430i water pump is leaking through the weep hole. Your step by step instructions are great and especially the o ring from the water pump being taken out that is still in the engine. REALLY appreciate your professional approach and cautions you give. Buying the pump brand name does save a lot of money. THANK YOU SIR!

Thank you, I had to replace my water pump for my 2018 430i after I was informed by the dealership that there is a leak. After going through your video, I was able to safely remove the old (including the o-ring) and insert the new water pump. The plastic housing inside the waterpump insert was broken. This DIY replacement saved me $1,000 from what I was offered by the dealer to replace it.

love your method of teaching

[@Zeiten]

Thank you

[@fredknapp2177]

Love the video...very well done! My question is... would you suggest replacing anything else while in there as preventative....such as Belt, thermostat (unit) etc.... ??

[@Zeiten]

Thank you, I’d say it is all condition based and for every car recommendation would be different, replacing thermo regulating unit doesn’t require touching water pump at all. Assess condition of mentioned items prior the repair and go from there😉

[@rich0ne]

Great job in explaining the whole process! So if the heater is working as it should and no overheating, that's usually an indication that there are no more air in the system correct?

[@Zeiten]

Pretty much yes

[@grein545]

I know the water pump is attached to a larger bracket. Sometimes the gasket between the bracket and the engine will fail causing leaks. Replacing the bracket is much more involved, requiring removal of the alternator and AC compressor. How often in your experience dies bracket fail vs just the water pump?

[@haroldzamora3596]

What is the brand name of the water pump please, great video.

[@himaliketolama9049]

awesome !!! you made it look so easy ... thanks for sharing

[@johnkim821]

Dumb question but why is it necessary to remove the bleed screw if the cap is open? Won't the air escape out of the main cap hole?

[@Zeiten]

No, that is basic physics🤷‍♂️

Brilliant

Thanks a lot for the video... I'm about to do the same job in my B48, but I have some questions... In order to change all the coolant fluid, should I use a vacuum valve (venturi valve) or can I just start the pump and let the engine do the job? If I use the vacuum valve... is there anything else that I must consider? I mean, probably something related with the thermoregulating unit o any other pump or, probably, other part. Thank you for the answers!

[@seanpaul3050]

Off topic question. Who makes the best ignition coils for the N52 engine ?

[@Zeiten]

I like bosch the most

[@atogondar2640]

Great instruction.

[@bmwlane8834]

I thought you had to do the self bleed where you go - engine off, full hot,low fan and push accelerator to floor for like 10-15 seconds and you hear the electric pump running. It runs cycle and cuts off.

[@twtcad]

That was my understanding as well, plus isn't there an electric wp? How do you activate that for bleeding like in previous years. I just did a turbo coolant line on our 2019 x3 (same motor) and I can not get the electric wp to activate but I've done all the manual steps I can find. Really no clear procedure besides using a vacuum filler which I don't have.

I have 2013 x5 3.5 i I install new battery after a month now. I'm getting battery drain sing..But not all the time .before I go to bmw dealer to get checked any Suggestion

[@Zeiten]

Get it diagnosed that’s the best suggestion, intelligent battery sensor might be failing but it’s just a guess so get it diagnosed properly and don’t replace everything you find online

[@acidrain55]

Did you programme the battery to the car?

[@BuckteethMechanic]

Link for the water pump anyone please

[@jojomajesty]

would this be the same way for a 2021 330e?

Happen to have a link to the pump?

[@jarson2123]

Hi I have off topic question what is the proper change interval for serpentine belt in B48 engine?How many years/km?

[@Zeiten]

I’d say condition based, just inspect it once in a while usually belts can easily last for 80-100k miles so if you want to do preventative maintenance just stick to those intervals but if you change the belt change the tensioner as well every time

[@jarson2123]

@@Zeiten Thank you very much.I have BMW 3GT 320i with B48 engine.It is 2018 Year but very low mileage about 29tkm.I have checked the belt looks good and also tensioner w/o any noises

[@Zeiten]

Depending on your location you probably have lots of time before you can start worrying about those things. Just open the hood once in a while a take a look

[@jarson2123]

@@Zeiten Thank you and have a nice day

[@PatriotHere]

Did you have to mess with the thermostat?

[@Zeiten]

No need for this job

[@ghassanali8144]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@user-zc7bf1pn5x]

Do you have to do without removing any thermostat hoses

[@Zeiten]

Just those that I showed

[@davewallace9048]

Why would you not put a new belt on while doing that job?

[@Zeiten]

Wasn’t necessary, all pulleys are in good condition as well as the belt sill probably will last another 30-50k miles i don’t upsell

[@census3370]

I have the exact same car… color, wheels, sunroof, engine, interior and the cooling system has been a nightmare. I had a hose replaced that connects to the reservoir, just changed the water pump, now the car is leaking coolant again somewhere deep behind or under the engine.

[@Zeiten]

I would bet it is a coolant flange under intake manifold

[@ciabatta7538]

Could be the oil filter housing , it’s a nightmare

[@Zeiten]

@ciabatta7538 could be, although it seems coolant flange is failing more often and sooner, i’ll make a video on both of those repairs hopefully in the near future

[@ciabatta7538]

@@Zeiten yea im in the process of changing mine . That flange is so sensitive , if you sneeze on it , it breaks.

[@census3370]

@@Zeitenit ended up being the engine inlet cooling flange 😂 just ordered one from fcp euro.

should have done the alternator bracket with the water pump. it will start leaking and you'll be doing this job all over again
