PLEASE HELP!! I replaced my pump and t stat and now all is good, except I have one left over screw (not bolt). It is a hex head (11mm head) (6mm thread) screw that looks about a half inch long on the threads. I did not loosen my sway bar. Instead, I removed my radiator fan. But I put everything back together and now I have this one screw left. I figured it probably goes on the skid plate but I'm not sure. It does not have a matching screw anywhere else like this one. My car runs fine but I still have this screw.

it is M6 x 15mm or maybe M6 x 16mm self tapping screw
BTW my car is an automatic. I also had a D6 x 20 (T25) screw but I used it to mount the ATF cooler to the radiator fan. Maybe that was a mistake and that D6 x 20 screw goes somewhere else. The D6 x 20 screw is identical to the screw used to mount the radiator fan. Last edited by epouss2; 10-31-2013 at 11:19 AM.. |

So I attempted this today on a manual transmission. After looking around for about 10 minutes for someplace to drain the coolant from and not being able to find it, I went searching on the internet. Apparently I have to take off my front bumper and intercooler to be able to do it. So I asked a friend of mine what he did with his last year (also 6mt) and he told me to just yank a hose straight off the pump and let the coolant splash out (messy). Is this a good idea? If it isn't too bad of an idea, I'll probably just do this tomorrow because I'm lazy.

Ok I just sorta finished doing this spread out over 3 days (a couple hours a day, due to work and available daylight). As I'm bleeding the system, the large U shaped hose between the pump and thermostat keeps leaking where it connects to the pump. I've already broken 1 hose clamp tightening it, and I'm afraid to tighten this 2nd hose clamp anymore than it already is. What should I do?

It wasn't bulging the first time I tightened the original clamp. I started the pump up, it started leaking, so I tightened it some more. Repeated 2 more times until it snapped, then went and got a new clamp, and stuck that one on, and it's still leaking. I'm thinking I may need to make a trip to the dealer tomorrow to get a new hose?

Seems like the hose got clinched or something. Try examining it just to be sure. A bad hose will break under pressure from the system.

I have a 2006 325i E90 (99,500 miles on it) and had the amber temp light come on followed by the red temp light then limp mode........My check lights say I have low coolant, should I top off and drive around to see if I get the same problem again?
Going by this thread and other searches it looks like I need a new water pump/thermostat in which case how much of this tutorial applies to the 2006 325i E90. Thank you for any help in advance. Cali Last edited by Cali; 12-06-2013 at 02:21 PM.. |
