On the road. Need help

Jeepee · 06-12-2015, 08:59 PM

Hey guys,

I'm on the road right now and my car is acting crazy.

The 'thermostat' sign poped in the hud and there is
no power when i push the throttle.

I checked the code with my COBB and P377A showed up.

If i stop on the side of the road and turn ignition off
everything is fine for 40kms and then
it stops again.

2011 BMW 335i xdrive with COBB stage 2 sport tune.

Your water pump is DOA. Known failure.

Agree- same thing happened to mine

Jeepee · 06-13-2015, 08:12 AM

How long can i keep driving ?

Not much longer. If it is the water pump - once it completely dies your car will overheat.

Crank that heat and get it to the dealer asap

Finally home.

I was monitoring the temperature with my COBB AP V3 and it never went over 226Fº.
Is it possible it is only my thermostat that went bad?

Less than 600 miles, get it fix ASAP your 25 miles stop and go run is delaying the inevitable.
