BMW F15 X5 Water Pump & Thermostat Replacement DIY N55 (2012-2019 BMW X5, X6, 335i, M235i)

►The modern BMW engine is getting more and more electronically controlled. This includes the water pump found in this BMW F15 X5 engine. Because it is not a belt-driven water pump, the usual failure point is inside of the pump itself. This job is relatively simple, with just a few tools and a little know-how. This job should be done if you see any leaks coming from the water pump or thermostat housing and if you are seeing fault codes 2E81, 2E82, 2E85.

Thermostats are a simple device that regulates coolant flow through the engine. When cold, it will stay closed, stopping coolant flow and helping the engine warm-up faster. Once up to temperature, it will open and allow normal coolant flow and maintain proper engine temperature. Thermostats can fail in two ways: stuck open or stuck closed. If you notice your engine operating temperatures are higher than normal, it could be a sign that your thermostat is on its way out. Thankfully the thermostat on the BMW F15 X5 is in a convenient location for you to access and replace.

Gareth Foley, our BMW Catalog Manager, is back in another video to walk you through the steps of replacing the water pump & thermostat on this BMW F15 X5.
