Modern BMWs have introduced the electric water pump, which allows the user to bleed the cooling system with just a few simple steps!
To complete this process, follow the below steps:
1. Grab your key, enter the vehicle, and turn the vehicle onto position "2" which is your accessory mode.
2. Turn on your heat to the highest temperature but at the lowest fan speed.
3. Depress the accelerator pedal for roughly 10 seconds, and you will hear the system begin to move coolant.
4. Allow the car to complete this process for roughly 10 minutes.
After this has been completed, assuming there are no leaks in your system, your vehicle's coolant system will have been bled and is ready to drive!
If you're interested in finding a water pump for your vehicle, head over to fcpeuro.com and start by entering your vehicle into our vehicle selector.
Once your car is added to the selector, there are a couple of important ways that we advise correct fitment.
The first is the "fitment indicator" shown on the Product Page after selecting a part. This box is below the "add to cart button" and has two states. It will either say " Yes this part fits" or "Part may not fit, click to verify".
Sometimes the green box will be accompanied by extra fitment notes. These notes may be independent of the information gathered by the vehicle selector. IE: VIN-specific options, need to be taken into account when determining overall fitment.
