Geek2232 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Greetings everyone, I am now facing an issue with a malfunctioning water pump in my E90 3-liter vehicle. Unfortunately, I am unable to financially accommodate the purchase of an authentic replacement component. Consequently, I am curious to know whether anybody has successfully installed an alternative water pump in a similar situation. I have seen many instances, namely the PIERBURG model. Does anybody own firsthand knowledge with these? I express my gratitude for your assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 In my opinion, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component in question is manufactured by Pierburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistral Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 It is advisable to concurrently address the thermostat and ensure that the U hose is not overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek2232 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 I have come across a water pump offer with the PIERBURG Water Pump and a Meyle thermostat, which seems to be a viable option. However, I lack knowledge on the u hose and would appreciate a more detailed description of its characteristics and use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 This particular modification is applicable to the N54 and N55 engines. However, it is uncertain if this modification is present in your specific engine, since the engine type is unknown. The water pump is connected to the thermostat and is susceptible to thermal damage. Please input the last seven digits of the chassis number into the website realoem.com to see whether your engine is associated with it.

developer Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 The combination of a Pierburg Water Pump with a Meyle thermostat consistently meets my requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWDaveBMW Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I had an aftermarket thermostat installed in my 330d upon initial purchase, which was done by the garage from which I bought the vehicle. However, the bolts of the thermostat became sheared within the water pump to which it was attached. Fortunately, I had already acquired a genuine thermostat, which was subsequently installed. Remarkably, the car remained in good condition for a period of five years, and the subsequent owner has continued to possess it for an additional 18 months.
