335D Radiator Replacement

Bosoxnumbr1 · 05-04-2024, 08:46 PM

Hi all,

I need to replace the radiator on my 335D and I going to use the Nissens from FCP (Nissens 60785A, BMW part 17117794488). Couple of questions. First, I cannot find a go by for this anywhere, and I have looked everywhere. I find plenty for the E90, but not the 335D. I have watched the videos and the set up is completely different for the E90. Any help/suggestions?

Second question. What radiator parts/hoses (if you could include part number that would be great) do you recommend changing while replacing the radiator? Are there any parts that tend to break when replacing the radiator (one of the hoses snapped on my egr cooler replacement vert easily). Car has about 128K and I just replaced the thermostat and EGR cooler (had codes). Thanks!

Bosoxnumber1,
In general, It is recommended to replace all rubber coolant hoses once a vehicle gets over 100k miles or over 7 years old.
Other common failure items for all vehicles in general are Alternators (150k miles), water pump seals ( 150k miles), accessory drive belts (100k miles), thermostats (125k miles), shocks (150k miles), brake pads (40k to 70k miles depending on driving style/location), power steering pump (170k miles).
With our vehicles add the harmonic dampener which can go out between 50k miles and 150k miles) depending on how much time your vehicle spends idling.
