Otherwise it will corrode and fail shortly after reinstalling it.

Bmw e60 thermostat problems.

But now i bought a gallon of bmw coolant and 4 gallon of sterile water because i want to remove all the old coolant and what i added. The actuators are known to go bad and when they do you re looking at about 1000 a piece in oem part cost alone plus labor to fix it. The car is a 2004 bmw 525i e60 m54 thanks nick september 23 2014. Most people notice their car is taking too long to warm up once the weather starts to turn cold.

Bmw s use a electric water pump rather than a traditional water pump. Bmw s are infamous for water pump failure and it is certainly very prevalent on the n52. Nick we had to use non sterile water mixed with some bmw coolant. Common problems on the e60 m5 and its s85 v10 engine.

Most modern electronic thermostats such as the ones found on late model bmw s are designed to fail in the stuck open position these days to avoid ruining the engine by overheating. The most common problem with the electric coolant pumps is a fault code for coolant pump volume. Any recommendation on how to remove all of it out. I am not a mechanic and take no responsibility for any damage or injury caused by anyone attempt.

It s also a frequent problem on the n54 i blew mine at 42k miles our e60 blew one at 60k miles and our e90 had a failed one at some point as well. Throttle actuators the s85 v10 has 10 individual throttle bodies which are controlled on two banks by two throttle actuators.
