This Can Save you HUNDREDS of Dollars (E92 water pump fix)

In this video I will show you how to troubleshoot water pump codes for a BMW 335i and resolve issues for one dollar!

Did you end up replacing the whole power distribution block? I been having kinda the same problem seems the pump works when I bleed it but once on the road it doesn't "work" n I get water pump codes.. sorry English isn't my first language hope I made sense

Let logic prevail, good one...anything electronic needs power, first diagnose that power is being sent to the part, once that is sound, then go ahead with other checks...always check the power. 12 volt light up pen is very easy to check if power is getting to the device. Good one keep it up!

[@lonewolf3564]

When checking for a blown fuse, do a continuity test or a diode test, not a voltage test. That fuse on the power distribution block is the fuse that sends the power to water pump, that's why it bleed for you.

What codes were you getting? I’m getting communication fault but my battery is basically drained and old so this might be it for me

[@wavybump]

Im throwing lack of communication with waterpump and valvetronic fail. both fuses are right next to each other in the sealed box under the hood. I had some water in my trunk and the battery got wet. I haven't even tried the bleeding process because I assume the waterpump isn't getting power. (gonna try it anyway ) the distribution box on battery makes perfect since. if that fuse has power, then it has to a be a short in the wire going to the fuses under the hood

[@wujames486]

Glad to see some good old traditonal troubleshooting!!!!

[@SaberToothAssScavngr]

Also make sure you are aware if the lin bus goes down the water pump will continuously run & kill the battery or blow that fuse. Just fyi. You were on the right track but the method of diagnoses could be shortened a lot.

When your fan does that then you know your pump is not running. That fan in high speed is trying to cool down as much as possible but it will also go in limp mode to protect itself.

[@pedrocamacho1574]

I have the same problem

[@briantii]

Uh.... you don't see the FIRE HAZARD associated with putting a much smaller gauge wire in there? Fuses are sized to protect wiring. Given that it was already blown on the distribution block there is a good chance something is shorting and / or pulling too much current. When / if that happens again that small wire will turn red hot and potentially start a fire right on top of the battery.

[@HGProduction]

Uh...you don’t see the INSURANCE CLAIM POTENTIAL associated with a BMW catching fire. Fortunately this method never caused a fire. One dollar water pump fix, you’re welcome.

[@briantii]

@@HGProduction Sure, if that's what you want. Using the wrong wire is certainly a good way to potentially burn the car up. The insurance company may not be too excited about it though when that's the obvious cause. I know if you do your own unpermitted work on your home (like using the wrong wire) and it burns down that you certainly risk them denying the claim. Obviously, do what you want, but it's worth pointing out to anyone watching that this method has real risk. Thanks for sharing though and l love the color and the monkey. Pretty cool. :-)

[@lonewolf3564]

@@HGProduction uh you dont think the insurance company will blatantly see that the cars wiring was altered.

Not at all, an insurance adjuster will just notate damage incurred as long as everything falls within the guidelines of the particular policy. Especially if the car is modified, 9/10 times it’s going to end up at wholesale auction if it’s declared a “total loss”
