I replaced my friend’s valve cover gasket on his 2014 f15 today and I noticed his radiator fan goes crazy. Start it up and it’s pretty much right out of the cage. Revvvvvvv stop. Revvvvvv stop. Repeat.
Is the dreaded water pump/thermostat an issue with these newer X5s too?
Check for faults, if it's a water pump problem there should be a fault for it like water pump speed deviation for instance
Thanks. Replaced water pump and thermostat and the issue seems to be resolved.
that job was pretty hard due to limited space to disconnect and reconnect those hoses. I had to remove the pump out of the radiator fan area since the awd components were in the way. Took me all day.
I love how BMW puts in an electric water pump so you could mount it really any where and they mount in this hard to get to spot, dicks.
Fully agree. It was just cruel. At least if I had to do it again I think I could shave off a couple hours? Lol.
