danniexi · 12-09-2012, 06:17 PM

MY 01/2008, replaced pump/thermostat at 66,000 miles.

DanielGonz · 12-14-2012, 10:55 PM

MY 12/2006 E92 335

Water pump/t-stat just took a shit at 89,xxx miles. Getting it towed in a few minutes to FSR Motorsports.

Spoolin1 · 12-15-2012, 12:18 AM

What actually goes bad with the pump? What occurs that you know it's going out? Mine is an 11/07 MY if I remember correctly.

'08 335xi.... replaced at 31k

MRVBC · 12-19-2012, 10:54 PM

o8 e92 just failed tonight at 40k

dominick · 12-20-2012, 01:01 AM

08 335i about 45,000

ign335i · 12-20-2012, 01:55 AM

Ridiculous the amount of failures. This cost me like $1300 to repair when all said and done.

KC335 · 12-20-2012, 02:16 PM

07 335i Cab - tstat and water pump replaced at 80 xxx km

JO3 · 12-21-2012, 12:33 PM

03/08 production date. It just failed on me at 77k miles.

Left me stranded on the side of the freeway, in the middle of nowhere, late at night. Seriously considering replacing every 50-60k miles as preventative maintenance.

vase330 · 12-26-2012, 08:06 AM

06/07 335i - mine failed at 32K miles.

DetectiveLoki · 12-26-2012, 12:50 PM

2008 e93 335i water pump failed at 45k miles

Werked M fizzle · 12-26-2012, 11:22 PM

08 535i water pump failure at ~60k miles

vexx786 · 01-03-2013, 03:15 AM

So it happens randomly buts it pretty much guaranteed to fail?

Josh1a1h · 01-03-2013, 06:50 AM

When it does fail, do codes come up? Will it let you know? Or do you just watch the temps rise out of control?

335iaz · 01-03-2013, 09:32 AM

Well I am getting my thermostat replaced next week, it threw a stuck open fault code ... not getting the water pump replaced though ... wife doesn't agree getting it replaced if it hasn't "failed" yet ... women sometimes don't understand .. I am currently at 105k miles on the original water pump!

ManyMoonsAgo · 01-03-2013, 04:55 PM

2008 e92 Coupe 10/2007 manufacture date. Pump began to throw failure codes last September at 22K miles. Replaced pump and thermostat out of warranty.

My car had participated in numerous driving events at Sebring and various AutoX's leading up to that. One session at Sebring the month before the failure particularly thrashed my coolant system, so I was not terribly surprised when the pump started throwing the death codes.

Though we are not sure exactly what failed, looking at the old pump, the circuitry and insulation around the circuitry did not look all that healthy, heat damage was apparent. The pump itself seemed okay, so my mechanic and I suspected the pump's circuitry failed rather than the mechanical aspect of the pump.

Why not just wait till Water Pump fails? Are you getting any symptoms from a bad thermostat? I ve got a SES light with a bad thermostat code but just cleared it. I dont have any issues. I will just wait till water pump fails to replace both. You should do the same.
