Replacing The Water Pump on B58C Engine, 2019 BMW X5, (G05)

[@Hybrid255]

Could you show how to flush the coolant in the 2020 BMW X5, and how to bleed the air process.

[@rayaany.4069]

Wow! That bad boy was leaking leaking!

[@Lordapocalypse73]

Great Video Fred, question for you I'm in the market for a used B58 X5 any years recommendations? thanks in advance

[@OscarCastillo1]

Wow 2022 with 31K and already leaking. Ever have the coolant level indicator pop off and float around in the reservoir? What causes that the pressure? Or a flimsy connection?.

@@OscarCastillo1 This one was leaking from the plastic plug on the bottom of the pump.

Nice job. Just wondering how long is get changed?

@@koolfredsbimmertech5617 I’m on the same boat. Mechanic charge me 6.5 hours for one of thermostat(it got 2). While he doing the work. He found water pump is leaking. Better change it. I goes “alright do what ever you need to do.”he charged me 3.5hours extra labor for water pump. So all up is 10 hours labor. Feel a little got ripped off.

@@XX-ud7hj on the G05 X5, I believe the thermostat aka the heat management module is under the intake manifold. So that’s why that repair was 6.5 hours. Good Luck!

Have you got a video on the oil pump replacement on the G20 m340i?

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

@@adsali03 No Sir, I’ve only seen 2 techs at my shop do oil pumps on that engine.

Is this the same process and same part for the 2021 m340 with mild 48v hybrid?

@@19nolo80 The Process is similar the part number is possibly different.

How did you love the charge pipe without removing airbox?

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

@@emperorsanders5744 I don’t even remember when you at the dealer and on flat rate sometimes u come up with a short cut. There is a clip on the charge air pipe at the turbo. Once that clip is out u good to go.

Warranty needs that front crankshaft seal back 😂

[@KevinTurner-l5f]

is the machine required to refill the coolant? or can it be done just by adding to the tank, any proper steps to bleed the system?

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

It’s a vacuum coolant filler. It uses compressed air to pull a vacuum then it sucks in the coolant. If u use one of those systems you don’t have to bleed the cooling system.

[@zugattitt6876]

I have the same x5, do you guys know the water pump part #? ty

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

I would recommend going to the dealer with your vin # because year to year the part # can & may change.

[@emperorsanders5744]

how much does it cost to replace this in USA through a dealer or Indy. I am trying to figure out should I do it myself vs getting it done.

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

@@emperorsanders5744 Labor time to replace if the car is out of warranty is around 5.7 hrs. Then you would multiply that times your shops labor rate.

In the middle of this job now and the bottom left bolt is offset right behind the crank pulley and can’t get my T30 bit in it due to space. Any suggestions?🙏🏼

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

U can buy and use a ball torx T30 socket of you’ll have to remove the harmonic balancer.

[@JD_Wild]

Update* Took a long T30 bit, took my grinder and narrowed down the shaft thin enough to give me the clearance between the water pump pulley & Crank pulley to get the bottom left bolt out.

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

@@JD_Wild Sounds good! That’s a lot better than running to the parts store to buy a new tool. Especially when u are in the middle of the job!

[@2A5X4A]

I thought the newer BMW uses green coolant? Or is okay is use the blue? Thanks!

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

They come with green from the factory. U can use blue if you’re doing a coolant flush.
