    2011 F10 - Engine temperature high and load fan noise (Video attached). HELP!

    Hi,


    My F10 started making this loud fan noise the past couple of days, and now on the highway, I got the message saying:


    "Engine temperature high"

    What could be the issue? Can I try something on my own first before taking it to a mechanic?


    Any help appreciated.

    Textbook failed waterpump....

    DME sends maximum PWM to engine cooling fan due to coolant pump stopage.

    Stop driving the car and have it towed to a competent repair shop.

    Here in Houston you're looking at about $1300 parts/labor to do water pump and thermostat.
