2.What is electric water pump?

 

The traditional water pump is driven by a belt or chain that makes once the engine starts working ,the water pump works together ,especially in the low temperature state in winter, the water pump still works without needing , as a result,which makes long time warm-up for the car and wearing out the engine, and increasing the fuel consumption.

The electric coolant pump,as the name meaning, which is driven by electronic, and running the circulation of coolant for heat dissipation. as it’s electronic, which can be controlled by the ECU, so the speed can be very low when the car starts in cold states that helps the engine heat up quickly as well as reduce the energy consumption.It can also work at full load when the engine in high-power condition and not affect by engine speed, which controls the temperture very well.

The traditional water pump ,once engine stops, the water pump stops as well, and the warm air is gone at the same time. but this new electronic water pump can continue to work and keeps warm air after the engine is turned off, it will automatically run for a period of time to dissipate heat for the turbine.

 

3.What is BMW Water Pump？

 

As the name implies, The BMW water pump is an automotive electric coolant pump used in BMW.The water pump in your BMW is an important component that is required in order for the coolant to flow through the system. The water pump is in charge of pumping the coolant through the engine block, hoses, and the radiator.

 

4.What does water pump do?

 

The water pump pushes coolant from the radiator through the coolant system, into the engine and back around to the radiator. The heat that the coolant picked up from the engine is transferred to the air at the radiator. Without the water pump, the coolant just sits in the system.

 

5.Where is a water pump located?

 

Generally, the water pump is located on the front of the engine. A drive pulley is mounted on the pump hub, and the fan is attached to the pulley. The fan clutch, if used, mounts to the pulley with bolts through the flange.

 

6.What makes a BMW overheat?

 

BMW engine overheating issues are a common complaint among many BMW owners. Some of the main causes of overheating in BMWs include coolant leaks, a clogged coolant system, water pump failure, and using the wrong type of coolant.

 

7.How long does a water pump last?

 

60,000 to 90,000 miles

The average lifespan of a water pump is similar to the lifespan of a timing belt. They usually last 60,000 to 90,000 miles with the proper care. However, some cheaper water pumps may begin leaking at as low as 30,000 miles.

 

8.How to Keep the Car's Water Pump in a Good Condition？

 

• Avoid dry run of the water pump. The coolant plays an important role to keep the engine cool.
• Regularly check the cooling components.
• Stop using improper coolant.
• Avoid defective belt.

 

9.What causes a BMW water pump to fail?

 

The most common cause of water pump failure in BMW cars is simply from age and heavy use of the vehicle. Over time, most parts in a car start to break down through constant wear and tear. Since the water pump is made of plastic, it will slowly degrade over the lifetime of your vehicle.

 

10.What should I do if my BMW overheats?

 

If you see that your engine is starting to overheat, you'll want to turn off the AC and turn on the heat to get the heat away from your engine. This reduces the burden on the cooling system. If that doesn't work, pull over and turn off the engine. Once the car has cooled, open the hood and check the coolant.

 

11.How do I know if my BMW water pump is broken?

 

• eight Common Symptoms That The BMW Water Pump Failure Is Imminent:
• Coolant Leaks.
• High-pitched Whining Sounds.
• Engine Overheating.
• Steam Coming From The Radiator.
• Higher Mileage.
• Routine Maintenance.
• Regular Coolant Changes.
• Any Change In Your BMW's Performance.

12.Can I drive my BMW with a bad water pump?

 

Heating and cooling may be affected by the vehicle. The car may begin to overheat as well. It is possible to drive your vehicle without a water pump, but not good to.

 

13.Can a BMW water pump be fixed?

 

The best way of fixing a faulty water pump is to replace it with a new one. Depending on the extent of damage to the cooling system, replacing the thermostat, radiator cap, and gasket together with the water pump is usually recommended.

 

14.How much does it cost to repair a water pump?

 

The average water pump replacement cost is $550, with prices ranging from $461 to $638 in the US in 2020. But typically depends on the type of vehicle you drive and the auto repair shop you take it to. Labor costs are between $256 and $324 while parts cost between $205 and $314. Estimate doesn't include fees and taxes.

 

15.How many hours does it take to replace a water pump?

 

Fixing a broken water pump can take anywhere from two hours to most of a day. A simple replacement should take around two hours, but more complicated work trying to fix a water pump (which will save you money on parts) can take four or more hours.

 

16.When should the water pump be replaced?

 

Typically, the recommended interval for replacing the water pump is every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on various factors, such as the car model, road and weather conditions, and driving behavior. Therefore, if you plan to invest in a used car, ensure you verify whether the seller replaced the water pump.

 

17.When replacing a water pump, what else should you replace?

 

So when the water pump must be replaced, it is a good idea to go ahead and also replace the timing belt, timing belt tensioner and idler pulleys.

 

18.Do I need to change the coolant when I change the water pump?

 

Don't use coolant that's old or too cold Collecting the coolant from your old water pump and reusing it may seem like a sensible (and economical) thing to do, but we strongly advise against it. After all, coolant tends to deteriorate: it has an expiry date. Refill the cooling system with new coolant and make sure to use the kind recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (don’t start mixing coolants either, because they might counteract each other)

 

19.Should you replace thermostat when replacing water pump?

 

The answer is absolutely because the thermostat itself can be damaged if there is an episode of overheating and, of course, a water pump failure is often associated with overheating.
