Longest mileage on original water pump?

jim.e. · 02-02-2016, 05:15 PM

Waterpump finally went on the car after 285,000km

never changed since I bought the car. Not that I should have/was lazy, it just never leaked and ran solid. Have a feeling it could've lasted longer and got hit when the radiator was changed last month due to a crack.

I replaced mine with turbos before 100. No issues but while I was in there I figure i'd be able to go another 100 without worry. Based off what you've said, maybe another 30k-50k and I will replace radiator.

PourBoi-Jay · 02-02-2016, 05:23 PM

I got to 91k miles before mine went out

Monster900 · 02-02-2016, 06:15 PM

95K miles.

Gizm0 · 02-02-2016, 06:27 PM

140k miles on the clock and still rocking the original water pump and fuel pump

Car is FBO running 17psi on pump gas and 19 on E70 mix

mlifxs · 02-02-2016, 06:41 PM

I euthanized mine at 145k miles. It was working fine but I needed a new thermostat so I went ahead with wp replacement as well.

sp1tfire · 02-02-2016, 07:07 PM

Replaced mine on 110k as preventative, worked fined. Rather didn't change it, since I'm guessing it could run much longer. 35k on replacement, so far so good.

NOITALL · 02-02-2016, 07:42 PM

When did you buy the car?

siphor1989 · 02-02-2016, 07:47 PM

Mine died at 67k. Definitely get it replaced before it leaves you stranded on the road...

Fun w/N54 · 02-02-2016, 08:09 PM

2009 N54 at 54k miles
2011 N55 at 50.5k miles
Both under 5 years in service.

Welcome to NBA Jam · 02-02-2016, 08:49 PM

I'm at 73k. I might consider replacing at 100k.

BMSE92_Harry · 02-02-2016, 11:20 PM

Mine is at 113K. Thermostat is probably messed up, starting to throw code every other week tho. But if it failed, it failed open. So not to worry about it.

awesomee92 · 02-02-2016, 11:52 PM

Mine went at about 50 or 60K if i remember correctly, as soon as the car hit five years old it went.

LsuGeaux · 02-02-2016, 11:54 PM

105K mine's went out.

Maranello455 · 02-03-2016, 01:21 AM

As a preventive measure, replaced mine w/thermostat at 62k.

barefootin · 02-03-2016, 04:37 AM

According to service records and the one that was done three months ago, ours is on number 2 and just hit 90k.

Swish · 02-03-2016, 06:12 AM

119,000 on my previous car, a 2006 330xi.

JimBeemer3 · 02-03-2016, 06:59 AM

108,000 on the original water pump, 2010 328i, and I'm going to have a new one put on at 110k along with a transmission fluid change on the automatic (even if BMW says it's a lifetime fill)

mex2309 · 02-03-2016, 07:54 AM

71k and it was an instant gonner

Fatty Duckets · 02-03-2016, 08:17 AM

When I had my 08 335i I was at 103k and still on the original.

currently at 113k. I changed the error codes so they should trigger an MIL (for pump underspeed/overcurrent etc). We'll see if that gives any better warning. On one hand I want to replace it ahead of time, on the other I want to see how far it will go.

I've seen N52 pump/tstat kits on ebay for under $300. Anyone try one of those? Seems tempting but I can't imagine it's OEM quality. Not unless the cost of manufacturing pumps has dropped dramatically.
