Signs Your BMW Electric Water Pump Is Failing
- Overheating of the Engine
When the engine's coolant is unable to flow adequately, engine overheating may occur. The result can be a thumping or rumbling noise coming from the engine, a hot hood, the temperature light illuminating, or even a reduction in engine power while driving. When this happens, it's best to park in a shaded area and turn your car off until it cools down. The next step is to head over to a professional auto repair shop as quickly as possible.
- Radiator Steam
If you cannot detect any of the above signs, chances are your engine will reach a point where the radiator starts to produce steam. The rising steam from the radiator is your cue to immediately flush out the cooling system and have it towed to an auto repair shop.
- Leakage of the Coolant
High mileage cars may experience wear and tear of the seal and gaskets in your engine. As a result, the coolant may leak. This leakage may indicate that the electric water pump is approaching failure.
Causes of Water Pump Failure
- Using the wrong coolant in your car
- Accumulation of dust and debris in the cooling system
- Corrosion
- Broken or damaged belts and bearings in the water pump
