Hey guys, here is step by step on how to replace your water pump on BMW's latest 4 cylinder B48 engine. It is pretty straight forward process but if you have any questions ask below.
Thank you for watching

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!

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

[@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😉

[@haroldzamora3596]

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

[@nitunpreetpannu8924]

Sorry i just wanted to know what you the estimate be to get it fixed by mechanic reasonable costs excluding the part

[@keaganisaac]

[@EmmanuelAgyapong-yc6zd]

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

[@Zeiten]

I like bosch the most

[@ufohunters4612]

I know you made a video on a Intake manafold replacement on a n54 2005 X5 but i cant find it ??? please help me im stuck taking it off ...

Please improve your lighting. It seems so dark. - great content though.

Thank you, i’ll pass it on to camera man

Thanks very detailed Video! Would I be able to replace Heat management module following your steps? It looks like I'll have easy access following your steps. Thanks In advance

[@Zeiten]

Well the video is for water pump replacement but heat management module is easily accessible

[@thesaleemraza]

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?

[@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🤷‍♂️

[@EmmanuelAgyapong-yc6zd]

Brilliant

[@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.

[@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?

[@user-zc7bf1pn5x]

Do you have to do without removing any thermostat hoses

[@Zeiten]

Just those that I showed

[@BuckteethMechanic]

Link for the water pump anyone please

[@giloh.1359]

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!

[@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

[@HamzaGuzel690]

Is this the same process as the g30 530i

[@Zeiten]

Yeah same engine

[@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

[@mrgmrg9943]

Anybody else stripped that bolt with that weird spacer thing on it from the water pump?

[@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.
