My Water Pump Gave Out (BMW 335i)

[@NourHummadi]

This is something every BMW owner has to go threw. Stay strong :)

[@SimplyCarThings]

Haha thanks man! Yea it sucks, but it was bound to happen

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

not us guys with the mechanical pump

[@sweetermane5678]

I literally check mine every 5k when I do oil change i cant go through that lmao

[@resinmag4202]

Same thing happened to me and i was about 5 miles from home luckily made it back by putting the heater on 84 degrees and it was really hot that day

[@sjtanman]

Great info Omar sorry to hear that the 335 broke....

[@SimplyCarThings]

Thanks Sean I really appreciate it man!

[@greddy0513]

I was climbing uphill on my 35xi when the large hose between the radiator and the engine exploded (water was gush-out everywhere). I had since replaced the hose and installed a new water pump for 1800. But now my fan is running full blast and my check engine light is on. Good-thing, My ac still work perfectly, as I will try to do the same test like on the video to make sure the water pump is not faulty. Ty for taking the time to post this video.

[@joseC2013]

Did you figure out why it was blowing AFTER a new water pump?

[@stanleytolle416]

Thanks for mentioning replacing the "Electronic Themostat". Yes it's high tech and expensive. I was telling a friend about this but could not convinced her. Well a few weeks after replacing a electric water pump the themostat died. Almost as much shop labor to replace the themostat stand alone as a water pump. Doing them both really about the same amount of time if the shop is being fare with you. Really about ten minutes once difference once the mechanic is in there. Dam thermostat is electronically controlled so it is expensive and prone to failure. Replacing it with a good one is a wise investment when doing a water pump.

[@sarajanehaven]

Feelin' your pain. Mine went at the beginning of the summer without any warning. Was able to limp home after letting it cool with the hood open for about ten minutes and my hubby was able to install the new one. He's not a mechanic but has been fixing cars, trucks and vans for many many years. Hope your replacement goes smoothly.

[@SimplyCarThings]

Thank you! Yea it seems like it's definitely doable to replace yourself, but it's just a nuisance. Can't wait to get it back up and running tho!

[@rusolinio121]

Happened twice on mine. Once due to age, second time due to corrosion inside the plug terminal. Went with siemens VDO unit. 7 months later, all good.

[@turk3sh]

I hear you. I'll going on my third pump next week. 2011 GTI. A lot has to do with installation too.

[@SimplyCarThings]

It seems like it's just a common thing among a lot of German cars!

[@turk3sh]

It only has 57K miles too. I enjoy driving my car but these annoying issues makes me just get rid of it haha. MK7 did fix a lot of this issue.

[@SimplyCarThings]

Yea man! The problem is the parts are just crap, crap plastic impellers and half the time the pumps are electric and the crap motor burns or dies out lol

[@turk3sh]

They have metal impellers now but the common issue I see is the installation. But I also have the cam tensioner thing I have to fix lol.

[@80marvino]

What if the pump is working but the fans are blowing hard like yours did?

[@joseC2013]

Was it the thermostat? How did you trouble shoot the high fan blowing situation?

[@TylerMac86]

I just wrapped up replacement on my N52, and on that car it wasn't too bad. I can't see it being much worse on the N54. Very tight quarters to work in, but there's obviously a lot of information on the process all over KZbin and forums. Good luck!

[@animemaster199]

Damn bro I look forward to the video of you fixing it, I'm about to change the water pump and thermostat on my 2008 335XI with 93k miles as a precaution

[@SimplyCarThings]

animemaster199 thanks man, yea its definitely something which is guaranteed to fail over time!

[@shahnbeast]

Goodluck Man, you got this! Looking forward to that DIY.

[@SimplyCarThings]

shahnbeast thanks bro!

[@justinbuice]

damn dude im worried about mine

[@Vite_F82]

we all are... all the time. lol

[@49cohibas53]

Justin Buice JB what up!

[@justinbuice]

I'm at 80k with the original one. fingers crossed lol

[@49cohibas53]

Justin Buice my fingers are crossed too on my E92 coupe 95k. LOL

[@SimplyCarThings]

Justin Buice I think your car has a metal water pump right? Although it’s still electric, I would just try to keep an eye out for any symptoms

[@JLi_Photos]

My water pump just failed too. Was driving in the freeway and suddenly I get a engine temp warning. I open the hood up and found coolant sprayed on the hood. Pretty scary and very important! 2012 335i here.

[@00-Dima]

I'm glad they fixed it on my 2010 335i

[@justinglaser3547]

Dmitriy Sizonenko So 2010 is the year when they got rid of the water pump issue?

[@BMWE90HQ]

Just had my radiator fail BMW cooling systems are terrible. My shop actually gave me a huge write up on all the problems with them particularly relating to E90s.

[@SimplyCarThings]

BMW-E90-HQ it happens man! Yea the cooling systems and components are pretty weak which is a shame, but it’s to be expected with these cars.

[@stanleytolle416]

Funny the Chinese replacement had better plastic in it. That is what failed on my friend's car. It had official Dupont glass fiber reinforced resin. Only problem being the small hose outlet below the lower radiator hose was 3/4 mm to big. Had to take off the BMW plastic end and use two hose clamps to attach the hose. Kind of leery of using OE if the original plastic was so bad. 2006 BMW 325i.

[@Mycreo90]

I just had the same issue on my 335xi dude, got stranded on the highway. Had to replace water pump and thermostat. Sucks but I'm back in business now!

[@marvbimmerboy599]

I have a question bro !! My bmw 328i fan comes on very loud and then stops and sometimes a whining sounds happens and my rpms jump do anyone know what this is 👀💯

[@germsa3557]

I'm replacing mine in a couple days it cost me $385 for thermostat water pump and gaskets.

[@DonOfValor]

Yeah my waterpump was on its last legs in June, luckily for me it didnt give out just started to slowly leak coolant.. hopefully you get everything sorted soon and you can start driving your car again

[@SimplyCarThings]

Thanks man! I appreciate it! Glad to hear a lot of us can relate lol

[@supercarshunter2450]

How much is a water pump with a thermostat?

[@basedtiger8984]

Supercars Hunter about $330 on FCP Euro website

[@SimplyCarThings]

For the 335i the kit off of FCP Euro was around $440

[@roblesinline6642]

Do a DIY it's honestly not too hard

[@SimplyCarThings]

I'm gona try and vlog it as best as I can!

[@SimplyCarThings]

I'm gona try and vlog it as best as I can!

[@heatchamps2011]

Robles Inline 6 really? It looks complicated

[@Ethan7s]

After some research, I found a really simple diagnostic flow char to check if it's a water pump issue. First: Check to see if you car is a BMW. If yes, then it's a water pump failure.

[@SimplyCarThings]

Lmfao!! Very accurate procedure

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

mine is a bmw but it has a mechanical metal water pump

[@octavio.c7584]

Do you happen to have a video on how to replace??

[@loveordie4]

Good luck bro. You got it.

[@SimplyCarThings]

Thanks man!!

[@h.mmotorszambia6792]

That's the exact problem I am facing

[@fernandomason2226]

I’m facing that rn 😭

[@BMWFanatic]

Welcome to the club 👍🏻👍🏻🤣 3rd water pump here still at 155K miles 4th one??? Probably coming soon lol

[@SimplyCarThings]

Lololol! Hopefully yours continues to last as long as possible. Thanks again for all your help with diagnosing this Lee!

[@BMWFanatic]

Simply Car Things hope so too lol No problem man!

[@DL-rz6tw]

Something else gotta be wrong with your set up. 150k on same pump... 05 e60

[@bentleysaelee5745]

Love the vids man!

[@SimplyCarThings]

Thank you so much!

[@kiaclark6211]

What’s the website and exact pump? I have a 2011 328i and mine just went out yesterday 😢😞

[@Maknlife]

What if the pump doesn’t activate

[@nebojsa1976]

I wonder if water pump in E90 328 2008i is of better quality then 335i? I see 335i with plastic housing (half) and 328i looks much much better.

[@loveordie4]

I have to change my adaptive headlight controller, Hid bulb, two rear rotors and pads. Too cold to do in Jersey plus I have no garage. Now it's snowing smh.

[@SimplyCarThings]

sean johnstone those east coast problems! Haha as soon as the weather clears up im sure youll knock it out

[@jlongshort4045]

I cant run that test.. i cant fully turn everything off for climate control.. auto or one of the vents will turn on.. cant be both off.. have any ideas?

[@rmonified]

0:18 *"Here in my Garage"* angle haha

[@SimplyCarThings]

this comment is so accurate hahaha!

[@angelchuca2030]

I followed your procedure with the water pump test and yup you were right.. I just need one thing. Where did you get your computer code reader... Ima fanes this DIY😆

[@AntelopSlotsNAdventures]

How much did you pay for that kit again???

[@sergeykostenko2918]

Literally same thing just happened to me two days ago.... I feel you, it sucks. And it is expensive. I also ordered the same kit from fcp euro today. Love the lifetime warranty since these things tend to go out randomly and often. It just sucks because I replaced my radiator 2 weeks ago and now this happens. Hope I can get the new pump and thermostat in successfully and good luck to you. Also what intakes are you running.

[@SimplyCarThings]

Sergey Kostenko thanks man! Yea it’s a huge inconvenience but oh well i guess. I have SSR Performance Intakes

[@fernandomartinezreyna1836]

That sucks bro. Mine was changed out shortly before I️ bought my 335is . Hopefully it doesn’t go out on me for a while!

[@SimplyCarThings]

For sure bro! Yea it's good yours was changed out early on!

[@Absolution707]

Is it the stock water pump which came with your BMW from factory or it is OEM water pump?! btw I fell in love with your channel🌚

[@SimplyCarThings]

HOLDEN HSV Thank you!! And no i believe this one was the second water pump

[@1toe1knee1luu]

What mileage did yours go out at? do you know if this is your 2nd or 3rd water pump. I'm worried about mine currently 96k miles and don't have any records of it being changed before. Maybe I should change mines anyways just to be safe. I commute 50 miles everyday.

[@SimplyCarThings]

Tony Luu mine went out at 122k miles. I think this is the second one i would be really surprised if that was the original pump

[@GBro-ot8gh]

What’s rims do you have on your car? I’m looking to get a pair like them for my 335i.

[@SimplyCarThings]

They are Style 359 Replicas! I love them

[@Briant7900]

my water pump just went bad at 70k miles on my 2013 128i 😫

[@fearcartel6347]

Appreciate the video man

[@SimplyCarThings]

Of course man you got it!

[@MrLYN274]

@Simple Car Things can water pump failure cause battery drain?

[@SimplyCarThings]

hmm, i havent heard of that being an issue. But it could be possible

[@boomy818]

I did mine myself with little to no experience. Take your time and view tutorials and itll all get together. Just dont be afraid to do it. Its like legos

[@SimplyCarThings]

Replaced it last night! Thanks man! Just uploaded the video on it too

[@khorag3193]

I’ve already replaced four water pumps on a 2007 328i. There should be some defect in electrical system that burn out the water pump motor.

[@SimplyCarThings]

that's what ive heard others on the forums say. its an electrical issue

[@oishirley]

Kho Rag FOUR?! Jesus. I’m on my first one today at 125k

[@CGSURG]

Welcome to the club.......good time to do inlets by the way.

[@SimplyCarThings]

Ahhh, I think i'm going to hold off on more power for some time! But thank you for the tip!

[@MG-gu6jg]

im pretty sure youre supposed to take that little screw out before taking off the lid that exposed that already under filled coolant reservoir

[@SimplyCarThings]

I think that's for if you manually bleed it out. The easy way is to do the electronic method using the ignition system

[@Stance_Mindset]

Thank you soo much! Let us know where you order from and definitely a DIY video!!! Following close!

[@SimplyCarThings]

No problem! Will do! Here's a really good DIY video actually for the N54 water pump: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4mogZWljcuNg8U

[@korylewis7858]

AMAZING THANK YOU!

[@joevignolor4u949]

My brother just had the electric water pump replaced in his BMW by a dealer and it cost him $1,500.

[@hmong337]

Man I like the 35i but electric waterpumps? Really?

[@TieMiShoe]

Can't you just upgrade to a more reliable water pump or you have to replace it with the same one

[@SimplyCarThings]

i dont believe there are any aftermarket solutions

[@franciscoecheverria2382]

Mine dosent sound at all.

[@germsa3557]

Mine doesn't either

[@jnagime]

My friends 135i and 335xi went on before 50.000miles.......thats the Germany power.

[@DL-rz6tw]

How old are you

[@yezzusaguilar3097]

How much was it

[@SimplyCarThings]

$440 off of FCP Euro!

[@李龙-k6e]

Mine broke down at 73000 miles and the dealership charged me 1600.00

[@isaiahperez214]

Hey bro I’m from so cal also stay not to far from you I have a 335xi coupe e92 n54 we should get together sometime

[@wallyborrero4967]

My Water Pump just failed me 96k miles 😫

[@antmac9300]

Did it overheat ? My car has the same fan problem but it’s overheating.

[@SimplyCarThings]

Ant Mac if i had continued driving it, it would’ve over heated

[@iandutra1655]

at what age did you start to modify cars?

[@SimplyCarThings]

Ian Dutra 17 !

[@bingram2011]

Mine just failed at 70k... Shit bro... 2013 335iS

[@snowfox8556]

its fkn water pump relax

[@Bad_m340i]

shorten the intro !

[@gwats19577]

The cooling systems use way too much plastic..... High performance? Good Looks? Yes, these apply to BMW sleds, but if you're looking for a more reliable experience, get a cute girlfriend with a steady job....

[@SimplyCarThings]

Lmfao! True...but the N54 gives people an experience no girlfriend could give hahaha

[@gwats19577]

I'm not doubting you.... just giving a 'shout out' to your wallet!!!

[@adriangutierrez9582]

Grover Watson FCP Euro offers lifetime warranty though..........

[@ltdasilva93]

Please make your own thumbnails using your car. No need to use others, we know what yours looks like.

[@yezzusaguilar3097]

Leandro why does that matter

[@titanium9291]

Don’t be a sissy. My water pump failed 1 year 8 months and 22 days ago. 18,235 miles later I’m still driving it with a broken water pump. Y’all don’t give these N54 motors enough credit.

[@SimplyCarThings]

oh yea, gotta love being able to drive an N54 on a broken water pump!

[@rileytavares4087]

Titanium92 how Lmaoo
