Need help in Houston for water pump/tstat replacement
I am in West Houston (Katy). My Behr radiator sprung a major leak along plastic siding (installed April 2021). Replacing it with a Nissens, which I can manage to install as a relatively new DIYer (recently replaced starter).
For a 2007 328i with 199K miles, I'm lucky my water pump and thermostat are still going! So I think it would be prudent to replace them with the new radiator, and key cooling sys hoses. I'd appreciate any "spotter" help (willing to compensate). I have a fair indy shop where I usually get it serviced, but it would be good practice and a confidence builder the more I do it myself (and save lots of $$ . Car is currently in my garage (2 windows for ventilation), have ramps, jack + 2 stands, basic tools. Will have the following parts delivered by Sat EOD from FCP: Coolant Recovery Tank Hose BMW-17127548224 Radiator Hose (upper) CRP-CHR0406R Coolant Thermostat BOR-41008697D0 Coolant Hose CRP-CHE0409 Expansion Tank Hose CRP-CHE0573 Radiator Hose (lower) CRP-CHR0467 Engine Coolant Hose CRP-CHR0582 Radiator NSN-60786A Electric Water Pump PIE-702851200 DM if interested/questions. Many thanks in advance! Last edited by 07bimmerhtx; 07-17-2022 at 07:41 PM.. |

I didn't see the expansion tank hose on your list. It probably needs to be replaced: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...in-17127618510 If you haven't done them already, while you have it torn down that much consider doing your oil filter housing gasket: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...11428637821kt1 Also the MM flange and hose: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...in-11537545890 Have fun! |
