My surprise was merely that our cars have a "Check Control" thing that returns the comforting "Check OK" message even when the ECU knows some very specific information about a serious engine fault.

I would have expected some error message / MIL (Malfunction Indication Lamp) beyond the generic "I'm feeling rather hot today".

Luckily my water pump has been fine so far since I replaced it...
2006 325i 117,000 miles exact same symptoms and scenario...Tischer tstat / pump /bolt kit on the way.

Is it critical or necessary to have cleared the pump fail codes from the ECU prior to powering the new pump? I do not have a code reader capability other than OBDII.
