How To Coolant Bleed BMW With An Electric Waterpump

[@lindabenton1436]

That is one cool and stealthy volt meter, I like.

[@mornebosman8259]

This video was so helpful it even helped me with my Mercedes, thermostat was replaced by the dealer and I could swore they didn't bleed the system.There is no videos on KZbin of Mercedes like this one of yours..Thanks man

[@GeorgeAusters]

Glad to help man!

[@tomg4793]

Did you do the same exact process on your Merc (PS: What model Mercedes do you have?).

[@jessewainwright1]

My 2014 535i overheated and derated on the interstate. I pulled over and found it was low on coolant (I hadn't checked it in 9 or so months). After I filled it, it continued to slowly overheat but then return to normal operating temperature, over and over again (I monitored the temperature via the hidden menu) . Once I got home I was able to bleed the system and top it up thanks to this/your video! Crisis averted >.

[@tandomehlo5291]

Just followed your steps and I must say, it worked perfectly. Thank you very much!!!

[@dimitric3607]

This was so helpful man thank you! I’m doing this job this weekend. One question: do you bleed it with the cap on or off of the coolant reservoir? Or does it not matter?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Best to bleed with cap off

[@viscalyske1624]

Thanks brother 👌🏼

May I know what is the purpose of this? Cause i have a bmw fault 'aux water pump' bmw e90 318i Lci 2010, I hope you reply

[@jaworshkielllerbe3981]

Good Job

[@greghughes6718]

Do you leave the cap off the coolant bottle (header bottle) while bleeding for 10-15 minutes,after holding the gas pedal down for 10 to 15 seconds and opening it to check electric water pump is running as shown in the video. Very nice video

[@girmawihabte3015]

It is high level bro tnx

[@zacariasreal9780]

Thanks for your information .

[@nossrc5638]

I always do it with the engine on for 10 minutes and then close cap and no problem

[@save2rave61]

Same here. I run vehicle to temp. Fill. Then repeat.

[@abumannocchi7636]

Is the cap off or on

[@abumannocchi7636]

Start car take cap off put fan on one heat high ? Right that's what you do ?

What can happen if the auxiliary tank coolant level sensor fails?

[@gladwellkhanyanetsela6893]

Hi,I've just changed the water pump,but it is not working as you've just shown in the video there.all it does it pumps stops pumps stops and with not that presure

[@j.r.griffith]

If my bmw 335i is no longer bleeding. (Electric water pump), is it my water pump that is bad then?

[@stevesas632]

Cap open on this one, no mention if bleed screw, others different. Just saying, why so many different versions of this procedure?

[@ScottT-f7f]

What if I started the car during the bleed process? I did not now my water pump isn't working. Could I have blown a fuse or sorted a circuit

[@GeorgeAusters]

It’s fine don’t worry

[@johnjones607]

Done this about 10 times so far and can still hear air in the system, no heat from heaters. As the water pump is cycling the water doing the bleed i can hear crackling/air by the oil filter. Cant find any leaks or anything and the car doesnt overheat, just no hor air out of the heater vents....which is getting pretty rough now its freezing cold in the UK.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Have you seen my "Heater not blowing warm air" video?

[@MrJente]

Does it matter if you have an automatic for the pedal?

[@guppylove7200]

Will this method work on a mini cooper S

[@gabebeeson5254]

I need help, do I do this after I fill my resevoir up with coolant or fill up my resevoir after the bleeding procedure???????

[@pgtips7818]

Hi George is it the same procedure on N47 engine?

[@eduardsutac4534]

Hi guys, i have an BMW M235i N55 , i was at mecanic because it was overheating, he changed the cap on the expansion tank, now the car doesn't lose power anymore, but the water temperature is around 107-110°C and the oil 116-119°, now it's also very hot 37°C outside but i was also driving during a cold day 19°C, the oil and water temperatures were the same. I asked the mechanic if it is okay to be so high and he said it is 4:39 okay... I wanted to ask here too because I can hear some light noises from the expansion tank. Is it okay to be at these temperatures? Thank you in advance!

[@jonathanvazquez1731]

It’s the same for a bmw 328i 2008

[@Fezzythaking3]

Will it make it go faster ....

[@stoicadaniel1909]

hello and all the best for you. i have an issue, my 320i e91 2007 keep coolant temp at 79-82°. its not bleeding right or thermostat is dead !? thanks.

[@jorgemartinbg]

I have a 2017 430i and I think my mechanic didn’t do this to the car . I still have the car asking for coolant after it’s hot. When I remove the cap halfway I hear a lot of air coming out. Is that normal? I did change a hose and he replaced another piece under the manifold to remove the part. Any ideas?

[@river_63]

Thanks for the VD. For me, there is no bleeding when i try to do this like U. N47 E90 LCI 320d. I don’t know something wrong.

[@Akac3sh]

Would I just leave everything closed if I want to start running coolant through the system before starting the engine? Had a severe coolant leak and engine over heated I waited 2 days before starting it again it got so bad i couldn’t even start my car but I want to run some coolant through the hose and around so when she starts she won’t over heat again. If she starts again 🤦🏽‍♂️

Just drive the car first, it won’t kill your battery running the water pump for 10 mins

Just leave the cap open and follow your step right, thank you so much for your reply

[@gail6904]

also does the pump stay on and pump for the full 10 mins ?? mine doesnt stay on all the time..we previously bleeed it a few montsh ago after installing new water pump..i hope my pump isnt bad or does it stop pumping once air is all out?? hope u can answer

Any tips on what else I can check to see what’s causing this issue? pls try get back to me mate, cheers
