2016 F80 M3 Mechanical Waterpump How-To
Hi everyone, I recently discovered that I have coolant leaking from my mechanical waterpump. So, I have a new pump and also a thermostat since it would make sense to do both at the same time at 106K miles. My question is, has anyone found any how-to's or videos on this particular repair? I'm fairly experienced with doing repairs on this vehicle as well as others so really just wanted to find a guide of some kind so I could eliminate 'bumping into walls' if at all possible. The pump isn't exactly in a convenient area so wanting to go in with some kind of insight if I can. I've done a lot of Google Searching and also searching within the forums here and haven't found anything.
Any help is appreciated and if we don't have a how-to anywhere, perhaps I could create one for everyone else who needs to venture down this path. Thanks in advance!
