Water pump OEM Toyota or OEM BMW
Reviews
It ended up being the water pump seal. They replaced the water pump and thermostat free of charge.
Pros: replaced water pump
Vehicle:
BMW
I wish I knew myself before my overheating probs with the failed first gen water pumps from toyota. Once the new pump was in the engine would work really well when it comes to heating and cooling.
Pros: engine would work well
Cons: overheating probs
My original lasted 18 years / 249k miles. The replacement one has been in place for almost 2 years / 22k miles.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Mileage: 434523 km
I paid similar for a BMW TBF, however, another garage told me that the garage I went to was known for charging high prices. I always shop around when the price is in the hundreds so I'm confident I wasn't ripped off.
Vehicle:
Volvo S80
I had my 2008 BMW 135i E88 for going on 14 years, it's about to hit 70k miles and looks like new. I've done a couple bolt-ones (IC, charge pipe, Cobb tune). It's been a great car and a blast to drive. I did replace the water pump this past summer otherwise normal maintenance.
Pros: great car, blast drive
Cons: water pump replacement
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 112654 km
Mine started going out at ~165k in 2023. 05 Prius. I mostly drive less 5miles at a shot, and it would toss a code if driven much more than that and it was hot
Pros: peace of mind
Cons: failure at 165k
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Mileage: 265549 km
Electric water pump on my BMW was \u00a3436.54 fitted at a BMW specialist (not dealership) OEM pump fitted, the same pump for me to buy and fit myself (no chance) was \u00a3600+ on Euro Car Parts
Cons: expensive, difficult to fit
Vehicle:
BMW
I had an 2001 740iL that I traded an old truck for. The electronics are kind of a nightmare, the water pump has a plastic impeller that likes to randomly explode and shoot plastic all through the cooling system. You can buy one with a metal impeller that solves this.
Pros: metal impeller solves issue
Cons: plastic impeller explodes
Vehicle:
BMW
The cooling system is the major weak point (ask me how I know) - water pump failed before 70k (changed under warranty)
Cons: failed before 70k
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 70000 km
I don't trust the BMW oem pumps any farther than you can throw them
Cons: unreliable, untrustworthy
Vehicle:
BMW Z3
