  • How You Can Check Your Electric Water Pump on a 2013 BMW can leave you stranded and not every shop will know how to diagnose and fix the problem. In this video, we're going to show you the Bleed Procedure for this BMW.
    The Bleed Procedure
    Test Procedure Runs For 12 Minutes
    1. Keep the battery charger plugged in
    2. Headlights must be on low beam
    3. Blower on Low
    4. Heater on High
    5. Pedal to the Medal for 10 Seconds
    -- Do NOT run the engine during the bleed procedure --
    It's ideal to use the battery charger made by Deutronics

    I’ve done this job a couple of times and never had to turn the headlights on , I don’t have a charger either I just hook the car up to another running car via jump leads and activate the self bleed with heaters full heat on low blower and press gas pedal for 10 secs , 12 mins and done , no need for lights to be on or some fancy charger

      couldn't a short, blown fuse cause the bleed procedure to fail. my code is lost communication to water pump. wondering how do you test voltage at the waterpump itself. test the connector and the water pump leads?

    Great information. Would be nice if you turned on a little more light when shooting down the overflow tank, because it’s hard to see with such little light. Other than that great video. Thanks for sharing!

    Can you take the coolant cap off, cold start a cold car and watch the water flow in the coolant tank and turn off the car before it gets hot?

    I have an 07 E66 750LI I did the test and it does not pump any water I just replaced the thermostat and water pump with new ones and it still not working. When I start the car it does cycle the water can the electric water pump itself be bad? Is the electric water pump just for this test or does it also run during operation? I do hear it trying to turn on and then just a clunk sound kind of.

    ok please help 2008 BMW 328i..when i did this test my headlites stayed on even if i never started the car .......and it ran my battery down.. So, i only heard the pump come on one or twice in ten mins..ALSo, it said to PUSH THE START BUTTON..u did not mention that but it said DO NOT START CAR, or put foot on brake -just press START BUTTON after foot on pedal for 10 secs..
    THE other issue is the waterpump is new and doesnt seem to be on all the time..how many times should the electric water pump come onn and off in ten mins...
    MAybe it wouldnt come on as my battery was going dead..
    WHY are my headlites on ..they were in OFF position..COULD my daylite running lites be on?
    ALSo, i had too much coolant and took some out with TURKEY BASTER..does that mean i have to BLEED coolant again?
    maybe the turkey baster allowed air into resevior??????? any HELp appreciated. .also should CAP BE ON w/bleeder screw CLOSED? THANK U

    No, you dont need a "fancy" battery charger for this procedure. Done it multiple times. Just run your battery if its still decent

    What happens if the water pump runs while the vehicle while the vehicle is off?

    • @BryanChance
      @BryanChance 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It drains the battery. If it's very hot, it can run for a short period. To avoid running the water pump, let your car idle for 5 minutes so it cools down a bit before turning off the engine.

    Have a 2014 x5 35i xdrive, the water pump runs while vehicle is off, replaced Both batteries thinking it was the batteries, got them registered twice. Drove fine for 5 days, then electric pump started running while vehicle is off at night draining the batteries, took it to the dealership paid for a diagnostic, but sins the batteries had been drained they told me to drive it. "Still got charged" for the diagnostic. Well drove it and now the vehicle is drained again! Called the dealer and told me they cannot or will not be able to figure out whats wrong with it sins the batteries are drained for the third time. So dealership is pretty much charging every time for a diagnostic even though nothing shows up on there scanner. Im at a stuck point, vehicle is drained and is just parked. It has no check engine lights on neither does it run hot. Its my wife's dream car, and seeing her upset makes me upset. At this point i am Really disappointed in bmw, it is a expensive and expensive to maintain it as well. Barely hit 90xxx miles its 7 years old & there should be no reason for this Expensive vehicle to doing this. Expensive vehicle but cheap parts that cost a fortune!! Have atleast a total of $1600 in the vehicle with batteries included!! I am Very Disappointed!!

    • @BryanChance

      They charge you multiple diagnostic fees for the same thing. Wow. The first time my water pump failed was around 60k miles. The dealer said the alternator also is bad because it was overworked due to a problem with the failed water pump. Water pump, thermostat, alternator replaced: $5300. I remember the alternator alone was $1000!! Just the part.
