Packaged by Turner BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 5 Series E61 (2006-2010)

The water pumps in BMW N54 models are known for failure near 80,000 miles. This is a very common issue that often times leaves the owner stranded. This kit provides a single stop for the water pump and thermostat replacement to save the search and get you back on the road.

Included in this kit:

Thermostat
Water pump
Genuine BMW coolant
Mounting hardware required for both the thermostat and water pump

This packages covers the major components you would install along with a new water pump or thermostat. On the N54 cars (135i, 335i, 535i) the water pump and theremostat are mounted together. In fact, to get to the thermostat, BMW expects you to remove the water pump. This package covers the whole job. With the electric water pump now an integral part of the efficiency and performance of the engine, staying on top of its maintenance and replacement is the smart thing to do.

Our water pump/thermostat overhaul includes:

• OEM VDO electric water pump, p/n 11517588885 or 11517632426
• OEM mounting screws for water pump (set of 3), p/n 11517602123
• OEM Behr thermostat, p/n 11537549476
• Original BMW connecting hose from thermostat to water pump, p/n 11537545665
• Original BMW hose clamps for hose (x 2)
  
• BUY AS A PACKAGE AND SAVE $$!
  
  The water pump on the N54 engine has more cooling responsibilities than ever before. Not only must it provide cooling for the engine, but it's also pumping fluid used to cool the turbocharger oil and automatic transmission oil. The good news is that the pump only works when, and only as much, as it needs to. The engine computer dictates how much fluid needs to be pumped through the system depending on the load. That means the system can actually stop the pump when warmer temperatures are needed. No longer is the pump spinning all the time from an engine-driven belt. The bad news is that it's now an electrical part, so a failure is usually immediate and with no warning. And if the electronics are at fault, there is no way to rebuild or repair it. Fortunately, the engine computer will force a shut down or reduce power if a problem occurs, preventing catastrophic engine damage.
  
  How to avoid a water pump failure in the future? Replacing the water pump as part of a regular interval schedule will ensure you always have a functioning pump in place. Since this technology is relatively new for BMW, therefore the lifecycle of the pump isn't yet known, we have been recommending replacement every 80-100k miles. This package of OE/OEM parts covers everything with Original BMW coolant offered to finish off the job. A proper bleeding procedure must be followed with the new electric pump.
  
  This water pump package fits the following BMWs with the N54 engine:
  2007-2010 E60 BMW 535i 535xi 535i xDrive
  2008-2010 E82 BMW 135i
  2011-2012 E82 BMW 1M Coupe
  2006-2010 E90 BMW 335i 335xi 335i xDrive - Sedan
  2007-2010 E92 BMW 335i 335is 335xi 335i xDrive - Coupe
  2007-2010 E93 BMW 335i - Convertible

Just like the rest of your vehicle's major systems, the cooling system must also be addressed periodically to ensure proper cooling and component reliability. Plastic and rubber components become brittle and prone to splitting or cracking after long periods of heating and cooling cycles, especially in colder climates! The coolant itself can degrade or become contaminated, leading to potential corrosion or freezing issues. Finally, thermostats and sensors can fail completely, preventing proper cooling and/or coolant temperature readings to become inaccurate.

To make sure you are not left stranded on the side of the road with an overheated engine, we have put together this Basic Cooling System Service kit. This kit contains all of the most-likely-to-fail components, giving you peace of mind knowing your engine will continue to run cool for another 60,000+ miles.
