When you say “upper and lower hoses” , can you identify them by number via the chart posted above? Getting ready to do my water pump and want to replace any hoses or other items that make sense while doing the pump/t-stat? What other hoses? Worth it to replace the expansion tank too?

I did my pump around 98K miles and only did the pump thermostate which I believe comes with its hose and my cars now has 168K miles and all my hoses look to be fine. I have not see any problems with them and the car is 12yrs old.

Coupling discussions of short life pumps coupled with the turbo N54 with the detuned NA N52 lead to confusion as 328i pumps seem to survive longer and seemingly not because its a different part. |

it's definitely because it's a different part. The N54 pumps use a plastic housing, which can and does crack and leak - so the pump fails sooner than it should (even if it's also working harder than the N52 pump with a higher thermal load).

no idea. But a number of the turbo guys have reported cracked pump housings on their 2nd or 3rd replacement pumps. You don't hear about many N52 pumps dying at 60k miles or less, but it happens all the time on the turbo engines. It sucks how much shitty plastic BMW uses, but it is what it is..

I would agree, since I am 100% not sure if the 335I and non turbo modals use the same parts, the op in this case is 335i as is mine. When I did my research on this I thought all the E90 uses the same pump. When mine failed I decide to take it apart to see what failed, the motor stator is incapsulated in plastic since BWM's design required due to using the coolant to also cool the electric motor of the pump. Well the plastic had fine cracks in and water got inside the stator and caused everything to swell up and lock up the motor. My understand this is the same design across all the pumps and from my point of view it is power design of using coolant water to cool an electric motor and everything was mostly made of plastic. Based on this, i do not believe turbo cars coolant is any hotter than no Turbo since the pump is on the inlet of the engine after it been cooled down. Maybe a turbo cars are 10 to 20 degrees hotter but this does not explain the a difference in failure rates. I just think BMW had a large batch of bad pumps and most likely have fix it since the version on my pump was a couple of rev up so they made changes over time. |

I'm 100% sure they are not the same parts, which I just posted. the non-turbo pumps use an aluminum housing. they are also rated for less flow, something like 20% less. So the turbo version is working harder while also being made out of plastic.

about to do my water pump this weekend and I'm trying to figure out what hoses I need to replace.
did you guys replace this hose while you were in there? its called the coolant pipe and runs from the pump all the way under the radiator and then up towards the firewall on the intake side of the motor https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...90-17127548226 it's like $140 so I'm a little indecisive lol |
