When Our BMW Technicians Encounter Water Pump Leaks
BMW has earned its reputation as a trustworthy vehicle that doesn’t require much maintenance. But as complex engine systems, they too will occasionally need work. If they didn’t, our BMW repairmen would take up crochet instead of auto care. One common problem, especially with the 7 series, is leaking coolant around the water pump area. Some inexperienced mechanics confuse it with the water pump itself and end up needlessly replacing the whole thing. But more often than not, it’s just a case of failing seals. Replace or repair the seals, and the problem is solved. They are difficult to get to, but the job can be done.
