The cooling system is one of the major weak points on the N62 engine in the 550i/650i. The water pump itself won't last more than 100,000 miles in most cases and the engine itself is prone to coolant leaks from multiple locations. So a major 550i cooling system overhaul should be planned before the 100,000 mile mark. Aside from obvious leaks the 550i water pump will also squeal or screech indicating the bearings inside have worn. This package covers the water pump, thermostat, and radiator for the 2006-2010 E60 550i and E63 650i with a manual transmission.

The entire cooling system on the 550i is susceptible to leaks and poor performance. The condition of the rest of the cooling system should be considered along with the water pump and thermostat. Replacing the water pump will expose the front of the V8 engine where more problem areas may appear so plan accordingly. The biggest problem is the V8 valley pan gaskets and inner coolant tube seals. The tube carrying coolant through the valley is prone to leaking and replacement is a major job (see our valley pan pipe kit here). Additional items recommended to be replaced during the water pump job are: cooling hoses, expansion tank and cap, temp sensors, drive belts, and pulleys and tensioners.

Base 550i/650i Cooling Package includes:

• OEM Behr radiator (17117519210)
• OEM water pump (11517586779)
• water pump pipe (back of pump to engine block) (11511439976)
• OEM thermostat (11537586885)

Why not upgrade when you're due for a replacement? The ECS Tuning silicone hose replacement fixes these issue with two key features in their design. Offering this hose in a much more heat resistant silicone instead of OE rubber and having the hose wrapped in aluminum. The aluminum coating acts as a heat shield to further protect the silicone as well as reducing the temperatures forced on the coolant running through the hose. 

Replaces OE hose #11537545665

Upgrade your cooling system with durable silicone hoses that offer extended life and enhanced heat tolerance. Say goodbye to stock limitations and opt for silicone hoses that retain OEM fitment while overcoming typical OEM hose flaws. These hoses are designed to resist deterioration and softening due to coolant heat cycles, ensuring prolonged longevity compared to traditional rubber hoses.

Specifically, this hose connects from the thermostat housing outlet to the front of the cylinder head. Its features include:

• Inclusive of both upper and lower clamps for easy installation.
• Crafted from 4-Ply reinforced silicone, ensuring superior durability compared to OE rubber hoses that are prone to failure.
• Internal layer lined with Flourosilicone for exceptional chemical resistance.
• Silicone construction provides reduced thermal conductivity, enhanced resistance to ozone, and UV degradation, thereby boosting overall performance and longevity.

The thermostat regulates the temperature of your coolant. At a predetermined temperature the thermostat will open to let coolant flow to the radiator and be cooled by airflow or the fan. Over time the thermostat will become stuck open or closed, leading to a variety of issues. A closed thermostat will never allow the coolant to reach the radiator and be cooled. Hot coolant will continue to circulate through the engine and absorb even more heat until boiling and the system overheats. An open thermostat is not as bad but is still not ideal - the coolant is always cool, with the temp needle always reading in the cool range. This tells the ECU to richen the fuel mixture to bring the car up to normal operating temp. So your fuel mileage decreases and the car runs rich.   

Replacing the thermostat is an easy but messy job. This thermostat includes the main o-ring (but a housing gasket may be required). Consider replacing the housing and any associated temp sensors while you're in there. The cooling system will need to be bled after.
