I received an overheating warning on my dash so 10 mins into driving in the morning and suspect the coolant isn't running. I got to work and read up on here how to vent the coolant to hear the water pump running and proceed to give it a try. I didn't hear any jet like sound but instead I heard a noise that sounds like a frog lol. I'm guessing my WP just croaked and choke T_T
Anyways has anyone had this sound coming out of the WP before? Here's a video:

Update: I've just replace the WP/Tstat on my 335xi. The hardest part was removing those plates holding the power steering lines to get the sway bars down lol. It was harder to place them back and I kept on dropping the damn screw into the subframe which I had to fish for with the magnetic tool! I didn't need any special angle or long extension tools. As long as you drop the sway bar, remove fan, passenger wheel and guard it will be enough to do the job.
