Hi people I need a bit of help if poss cut a long story short I have a BMW 328 e46 1999 now the water pump went down the shoot so instead of going to my local BMW dealer I£££££ I decided to going with after market sort £18 fitted and bleed the system (god knows how many times) but I don't seem to be getting any hot air heating was working fine before I changed the pump so I took the pump back out to check its the same and it looks different its metal on the end and the BMW pump is plastic could this be my problem

Is it the fins that are metal, if so, thats the better one as the plastic ones are known to snap.

BMW's are a nightmare to bleed!!

Also, while you in there, get the thermostat and water temp sensor changed.

I'll bet my life there is still air in the system though

Your right there must done the bleed about 5 times , I thought I sorted it before as when I put the water pump back in it got hot and stayed hot Evan when driving until I came to a junction and stopped it became cold again , and back to the water pump the whole end is metal Evan the fins

      Instrument cluster suddenly died

      A few weeks ago my instrument panel on my 2004 e61 stopped working properly, the only thing that worked were the two small screens in the middle so I opened it to check what was wrong and then there was a path in the circuit board that had blown on the way in/out from the processor, so I ordered a new one. It arrived in the post today so I installed The new one and everything worked fine the first drive, but on the second drive it was broken and only the two small screens in the middle worked. Has anyone experienced this before or know what could be the cause? When the car is moving either speed, rpm, fuel efficiency etc does not work and the two small screens are much brighter than they should be

      Mini One 2004 Buying Advice

      Well I ended up buying it. Bodywork needs a good pollish, and I got the front discs and pads changed at the weekend. Got the rears to do overchristmas but at least it stops now and is driveable. Fortunately it is the first cheap car I have bought where every single nut and bolt came off without much effort. Callipers slid off, pistons were nice and free, and I didn't have to take the big hammer to the discs to release them from the rust. I love people who believe in a little copperslip!!! Done a few wee trips in it and the other half has used it on a couple of longer motorway trips so far. Couple of knocks and bangs to be investigated, one of them I am sure is the exhaust. I don't like the look of the way those springs are set up on the front suspension though!!! Looks like if one of them goes then your tyre is getting mangled too!!! Thrust bearing on clutch sounds a little noisy and there appears to be some noise similar to the tappits on a mk3 escort. I'll have a good poke about on google and see what I can dig out, plus get myself the Haynes manual. No noise from timing chain which is good. All in all it's a tidy wee car for not a lot of money

      E87 Whine on acceleration

      Great advice gents, got a similar type of noise, literally started today, definite cyclic in nature so linked to the belt and pulleys and will try the WD40 first to see if I can isolate the cause of it before moving on.

      Headlight condensation

      I can confirm, no more appearance of any condensation in headlights so this is a worthy fix.
