As you might've noticed, this week we focused on offering you the best guides for maintaining you car's cooling system in a pristine shape for many years. Now, it's time to take a look at the water pump.
Initially, BMW fitted their cars with pumps that used plastic propellers. Those would cave after some time and cause a lot of trouble. BMW replaced them in the following years with metal ones that are way better.
However, in case your car didn't undergo that maintenance operation, you might want to do it yourself. In this endeavor you'll need to use the 3 previous guide we showed you this week and those are the radiator replacement guide, the accessory belts replacement guide and the coolant flush guide.
So, you'll have to perform all of those just to gain access to the water pump. Once this was done, with all the equipment removed, you'll need to follow this DIY to get your car going again, with a new water pump.
