Thank you for this video, im about to change the coolant in my e63 but i didnt know for sure how to do it, ive heard all kind of storys like using compressed air to force the coolant through the engine or just filling it up and letting it run.. Good thing i checked this video first!

You saved my life. I was adding coolant and wanted to bleed the coolant and cracked the bleed screw. It made a mess. I found a bronze replacement from my e46 that fit on my e92. Coolant wasn’t reaching the lower hose radiator as it should after. This helped me a lot and solved my prob. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Worked with my 2007 Z4- Thanks for making the video!

Ladies and gentlemen, I can personally confirm that this works on an f30 335i as well. I’m doing it as I type and I’m happy to say that my water pump is in perfect working order haha

Bimma Joe - thanks for the posted Vids - Very informative. I have a 2004 BMW 325i E46 w/M52 engine package. This does have the belt driven main water pump - on the drivers side inner side of engine compartment - and there is an electric motor mounted with two hoses coming from the heater core affixed to the electric pump does run in key switch position one, heat on high, fan on low. This pump doesn't seen to force the water forward to the reservoir, radiator, thermostat or its housing. I do jack the front of the car up about 18 inches (of course setting it on jack stands). With the Key on in position 1, heat on high, fan on low, it still takes 20>40 minutes to thoroughly bleed the entire cooling/ heating system. Have found that a quick engine start with a mild engine rev (~3,000 rpm) and squeezing the two large upper hoses ( of course with the engine off) - is the most effective and a certain way to eliminate air bubbles throughout the cooling system. I'm not certain the electric pump in the cooling system is working @ 100 percent. These pumps are expensive: $140>$250 range for a new one Keep up the good work!!! Petey VW

Very informative ty for sharing

Thanks man for the video, I had some gurgling noises coming from my vents when the heater is on, changed the valve, but still the noise was coming. I tried this bleeding procedure and the noise seems to have gone or at least reduced dramatically.

Great video and thanks for your time it took to produce it. My 2010 e70 3.0 suddenly showed "Low Coolant" warning signal. Check the reservoir only to notice no visible coolant at all. Added Coolant and everything seemed fine. Drove it for for close to an hour with no issues. Parked in the driveway. Came back to it about 10 hours later only to find a small puddle on the passenger side. Low Coolant warning displayed again. Pulled the splash guard and looked like coolant drips were coming from the thermostat. In your opinion, could this be from not bleeding or failing Pump and/or thermostat?

@BimmaJoc

Well it could be that but, from what ive experienced earlier this year (and you can check my newer videos on this). My radiator cracked and i had to use a pressure tester to figure that out....what I realized was it cracked due to worn out shocks and struts....and that may be your case also since the housing of the thermostat is made of plastic the beating of poor struts suspensions can have a major impact in cooling parts and other various components thru out the whole vehicle....so if you have not had your struts and shocks replaced the do so, or more issues will arise...TRUST ME!!! My valvecover started leaking badly because of that reason also....the videos ive done ✅ are all on my channel....by the way ...i didnt film doing the struts because that job was tough and mind you the parts can get costly and when i checked the shocks they were so bad I probably would have more issues if i let it continue....good luck bud!!!

Hello. I got a question So this morning when I turned on my car there was no power at all none of the lights were on so I assume "dead" battery but when I went to check the battery I moved it around and had power again (seems the negative cable was a bit loose) anyways I drove the car for about 15 mins and I started getting the Overheating light display which surprised me because I have had everything that deals with cooling replaced so does the water pump need to be "reactivate" of some sort since I assume the car had no power overnight and reset some things?

Perhaps the procedure is engaging something more than just this electrical pump. I assume BMW did not come up with this handy feature without minding the thermostat.

Do all the newer BMWs have an electric water pump? My father is having issues with sometimes having a cold lower radiator hose which causes the engine to run a bit louder and a hot smell in the engine bay. It's one of the i4 twin turbo diesel engines on an F11, not sure if it's 2.0 or 2.5 I told him about doing this and he said that his apparently doesn't have the electric pump but maybe he is wrong. I found some manual which said to idle the engine with the coolant cap off and rev the engine every once in a while and do that for like 10 minutes, but that had no effect although it did cause similar spray from the little hole as in this video

@BimmaJoc

4 жыл бұрын

The spray is when you put the heat on ...the reving of the engine is to get the temperatures up to normal operation so that the air pockets are removed which is bleeding the system....so that works....by the way...once the heat is blowing hot air from the vents the process is done and no need to go further....reving the engine too long can cause the coolant to escape the tank onto the whole engine bay and cause a fire so be careful...hot air from the vents system is already good to go.....but no not all have an electric pump to be able to do the electric bleeding...and doint it how you just said works fine

When the engine is started and nice and hot the flow of coolant in the overflow tank is consistent flow without stops and when the heater is off the flow slows down.

joe lane It will not shut off on its own...you dont want it to run for no more then 12 minutes...for two reasons the charger charging the battery and the battery it self being in use with out car running.

Make damn sure you use at least a 10 amp battery charger while doing this - I used a 4 amp, and after 25 minutes the water pump was still bleeding when the battery died. My Light Control Module was then BRICKED - and made the car undrivable - no windows, no dash lights. Bizarro. BMW's circuitry put the car into BRAKE mode - it was immobilized. I have since pulled the LCM and sent it to a guy in Massachusetts who will allegedly reset the EPROM or some other such wizardry. Otherwise you have to pay to tow it to the stealer who will charge you over $2000 for a new LCM. Grrr

Christian Andolini soo if you do it with the cap on and not using the pump use the bleeder screw slightly open till air is out or no bubbles then tighten bleeder screw easily and your all set...weather from cap or bleeder screw no bubbles-should be present and the heater should be blowing hot air

Christian Andolini also vehicle has to be running to normal operating temperature while you have the cap or bleeder screw open...normal op temp happens as soon as fan turns on....using the pump is just fast easy and less mess kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKR7lc5ud5rHYqw.html check out the last half of this video when i bled the system manually

Can I test water pump with out battery charger?

Mohammed Talib actually you can so after a long drive ...park and remove key ...listen for the water pump recirculating...dont pop the hood dont lock the doors...listen for the sound...if it sounds wierd like choppy something wrong if it sounds normal like the video almost then its good...if it sounds way to loud and weird buy a new one just incase 🤷🏽‍♂️ e60? Yeah its gonna fail at some point they only last around 60k miles🤷🏽‍♂️

Do I need to loose that plastic Phillips screw on the top of the reservoir for the air to come out or no need to loosen the screw?

@BimmaJoc

Ron Paker no need ...but if you do close the big cap use a flat head screw driver ,a big one, and loosen a little bit to let air out then close,,,,either way the air needs to come out...that is the goal otherwise keep trying till you have hot air coming out those vents

My coolant light came on yesterday say it was low. I put about a quarter gallon of coolant and it's still on. Someone told me it needs to be purged. Any thoughts? Thank you!

daniel garcia it definitely needs to be inspected...cant drive around with a car thats leaking coolant ....this video is purging the system but yours need to be checked for leaks....it maybe your tank its self...i would take it to someone experienced and have a pressurized test done it...this will show the mechanic what parts need to be replaced

daniel garcia but also when you put the coolant in did you mix with distilled water 50/50 mix??? Did fill to match the level indicator??? Because if you filled to the top thats too much ....you can blow the reservoir tank that way..very important to have this resolved right away

@@BimmaJoc ok thank you! I actually inspected it for leaks and found it has a very minor leak on one of the small hoses that's on the radiator. When you purge it, aren't you supposed to open the plastic screw on top of the reservoir?
