BMW 320d E90 2007 Water Pump Change

BMW 320d E90 2007 Water Pump Change - done at home with few tools. Pump cost £50 delivered free and £20 for antifreeze/deionised water.
Garage cost to replace £400+ and no guarantee that job has been done properly!! Symptoms weeks leading up to water pump failure on your BMW 320d engine will be sound of something grinding but hard to pinpoint and coolant puddle on bottom of engine shroud directly below main drive pulley. With coolant lose a yellow low water level symbol warning light will eventually show up on dashboard asking for water top up. Stop car immediately and allow to cool otherwise engine will fry!! Get pump changed asap!!! Hear the noise of a bad water pump by copying and pasting link below:
• Bad water pump noise
Water pump failure occurs normally around 100K miles mark so be vigilant and have it changed before complete failure occurs,
I hope this video is of help to all BMW 320d E90 'do it yourself' fanatics around the world!

I did a mistake. When i tried to remove a pressure convertor from egr, i pulled up accidentally by OiL dipstick and came out from oilbath and oil came out. I cant fit it now again, do you have some idea how to put it? or what i must to unmount from the engine?

[@vladmuresan396]

@BritishRusher Do you need special tools to put back the belt?

[@tanawatkrubb]

I love the music, it makes me feel like I just return from a war, in The Lord of the Ring.

[@Lee12238]

what are the torque settings please?

[@krumzlatanov2852]

Hi. Did you turn the pulley tensioner to the right or left when you release the belt mate? Thanks

[@camilirriks]

If it's still of use... You have to turn it to the left really deep to get comfortable space.

[@krumzlatanov2852]

Camilion Ridge thanks for your reply. By the way any ideas how to install the small aircon belt. I am looking to change both of them soon. Thanks

[@shetland9609]

Hi, What is the torx size from the tool , to release belt tension? T60 / T70 / T80 ??
Thank you

[@syph3r-265]

Looks like T60 or T70 - I'll buy both of them and I will try on my M47N2 to release belt tension on accessory belt. Did you try to remove the Steering pump belt ? How did you manage to do it ?

[@syph3r-265]

Okay, I just received my torx tools, it's T55 !

BMWs are such beautiful cars it's just so sad their engines are like icicles; so brittle.
