- On this video I already did the job. This was post job, so I was just giving tips on how to get it done. I used T30 T25 E25 10MM sockets and ratchet and a flat head screw driver. Also i didn't show the bleeding procedure, but it has to be done after everything is put together and the fluid is in. There is plenty of videos on how to do it on a electric water pump.
Thanks for the tip on removing the intercooler to get more room. Not a typical step for replacing a water pump.
No problem. I figured it would help if anything
Thank you very much for this video. We appreciate you taking the time.
Appreciate your feedback.
Excellent video! Thank you for the detailed walk through of the process. Very helpful.
thank you for the video, it was a tremendous help. Took me 8 hours. the BMW service manual was worthless ( except for the bleed procedure )
No problem I'm glad it helped. Yes they don't like to share the right info. I'm happy to share what i have learned.
Thank you for this video, you've helped me out a lot.
Of course no problem. I'm glad I'm able to help out.
Good and descriptive video. For the first time I'm kind of glad that I didn't get my wife the turbo. Should be a bit easier without some of that stuff in the way.
thank you for this video. I am a tech and was about to do this job in my gravel driveway and after looking it over I said no way. I actually called a BMW repair shop for estimate. Lol. After seeing this video I might actually go take this stuff out and try it tomorrow weather permitting. Thanks
No problem, thanks for watching. Glad i can give some type of help.
Awesome thank you so much for making this video , helped out a lot!
No problem. Sub and like it helps. Thanks for the positive feed back.
can you please tell me where is the airbag sensor 2012 bmw x3 f25 thanks
There are several airbag sensors typically they are on the frame next to the engine either on the left or right. Typically in yellow
Do you recall if this is the 28i or 35i model of X3? I'm assuming it makes a difference but it may not.
Twin turbo is the 35 model
@@mechanicalman8048Twin Scroll - not Twin Turbo. Single Turbo for all N55 engines.
So when the dealer replaces water pump that also need to replace The thermostat?
Mmm well yes and no. It is best to replace both at the same time. But it isn't absolutely necessary.
It is good practice to replace the thermostat whenever you replace the water pump. The thermostat itself is relatively low cost and the labor to replace it alone is almost the same as that needed to replace the water pump and the thermostat.
Your hands are do damn dirty fixing that car ! I dont think I've ever seen anything sexy as that ! 😄😄
Hahaha thanks. And they have been worse.
Do you have to reprogram the system ?
No just burp the coolant
Had my water pump hose replaced and it’s saying my battery charge is low smh
What do you mean by that
@@Kickskitchen617 burp means remove all the air from the coolant system. If you look up how to burp your year model BMW it will show you how its done
Video stops at 31 sec.
There seems to be some kind of issue loading within the first minute. Go ahead and skip that first minute I think it will go back to working after that time.
Thanks for uploading this. Totally saved my butt doing this. Taking the fan out is the best way for sure. Was able to get the pump and t-stat out as an assembly which took less time. Not a job for a newb for sure.
@@ryanhoaglin9907 Absolutley, I'm glad it helped out. Thanks for the feed back.
