335i N55 Overheating HELP!!!!
Ok guys so I have a 2011 335i e92. Car has 39K on it. I was driving last night on the highway going 75mph for a good 30 mins and my car started overheating. Pulled over made it off the highway let the car sit for 45 mins and decided to try and make it home. I was going 50 on the highway just lugging it with the heat on blast to pull heat from the motor. Was working fine not overheating when all of a sudden the heat stopped working and was just blowing cold air and the temp of my motor started to go up. Car started to overheat so I let it sit again for 15 mins and was able to barley make it home. I noticed also that the coolant tank is still full and has not leaked any coolant except for some which has blown out the cover of the coolant tank I believe because its so hot. In my head all signs are pointing to the water pump but just wanted some insight. Its just crazy to me that the water pump is already gone at 39K. Also last night after I let it sit for 2 hours I started it again and immediately all of the fans kick on as soon as I start the car.
Any help would be appreciated need to order parts asap so I can fix it this weekend!! Also what would people recommend for water pump replacement. Just go back oem or something off ecs tuning? Last edited by Jyamaharider713; 01-03-2019 at 07:31 AM.. |

For next time its better to tow a car than drive a car thats overheating. Its very easy to damage a overheating engine head. As well as transmission on the highway if its automatic. Transmissions are very sensitive to heat.
Get a OE OEM pump its VDO i believe. Change ur thermostat too. Pull codes too. |
