Had my pump replaced under warranty earlier this year...same symptoms as you, lowcoolant notice, could see the dried fluid around the pump area, not unlike your photo.
Both reservoir caps are dry and have no coolant residue. I’ve heard of others mention that the fix for “lowcoolant” is a new cap, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here
Curious to know if anyone else has had this problem since I haven't seen many others mention it.
Apparently water pump leaks aren't uncommon on the B58, according to a close friend who's a technician at BMW.
I've gotten the 'coolantlow' warning on iDrive twice before. Once at around 15k miles...
Went to drive the car after it sat for a week while I was on vacation. Got a message about Low/No Coolant.
Main reservoir was bone dry, so spent most of the morning trying to track down HT-12 and a new cap when my nearest BMW dealer is over an hour away.
Took a quick pic on the test drive...
I get a lowcoolant warning when I first start the engine. I want to check coolant level but can’t get either cap off. I didn’t want to force it and break it. Should I twist harder?
1.5 days of crushed and cut fingers, I ended up recruiting my wife to place a couple of bolts (her tiny hands fit in small spaces)… but I finally did it. And added the Charge pipe that had been on a box for 4 months.
@razorlab was right. Vacuum bleeding the low temp coolant system is easy.
I...
My oil has gone a quart in 1k miles. Also the coolant 3 times topped off in the same time . Hopefully I get to find it's something fairly simple and not too expensive 🤷
Making the list of skills and tools I need to install the WT manifold as I’m planning to continue running this car on the track during the summer months in the swamp.
Once I make the decision will get all the stuff. I’m leaning towards being a useful mod in my situation.
plan is to buy a...
...I think). After driving in the hot heat here in Thailand for more than 45 mins to an hour the AC just gets progressively less cold. Anyone experience this and fix this issue? I'm not getting any error codes for the AC system or for lowcoolant. Car has 7k miles on it and it's a 2024 3.0 6MT.
which reservoir is getting low? can try to bleed the system. might have air pockets. if still continue to miss coolant can try pressure test and if no external leak. bye bye head gasket. regarding the oil low its a 2020 some are known to burn crazy oil. maybe go thicker oil. previous owner might...
2020 LE with 68k. Dp/RK ti single exhaust/tuned etc. Bought end of June 25 and have put just over 1k miles on it so far.
Noticed the last couple months I had to top up the coolant (got the message on the screen). Noticed lately been getting white smoke, at start up and at idle.
Today I got...
I bought my Absolute Zero 2020 Toyota Supra 3.0 Premium (w/ DAP) brand new back in August of 2020 from Doenges Toyota just outside Tulsa, Oklahoma. I drove it home to Dallas, Texas that evening. Love at first drive? Absolutely.
Fast forward 5 years and just under 18000 miles, I feel like it...
The fan also doesn’t run at speed. It will help with cool down if you come to a stop or are below whatever the mph is for full off, but at track speed it’s not going to help.
I just did a day here where it was 88-91F or 32-33C and my coolant temp was pretty solid at 90C and oil temp never went...
Congrats on making me chuckle.
In the few minutes I spent googling it prior to my initial post I saw it was primarily focused on drag racing. Posts, including on this forum, pointed toward it being used for that, and the few manufacturer sites all refer to the same. There was one that spoke...
Water system head height is the main determinant for if an enlarged cooler would hurt the water pump or not. As long as the added cooler isn't literal feet above the old one, and the new cooler didn't have a pressure drop that was well outside expected norms then it would effectively reduce the...
