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

Just seems wired how this has happened since changing the pump , I take it it only has one bleed screw

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
