Overheating and check engine light in BMW 3 Series - experience and advice wanted

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2011 BMW 3 series, it started to overheat and the check engine light was constantly on. On my last visit to the garage, they checked the entire cooling system and found that the coolant pump was faulty. It had to be replaced and since then my car has been running like clockwork. It was already a serious problem, because without a working coolant pump, the engine can be seriously damaged. So better check it out and talk to your garage about it. Good luck with your car!

Hey, thanks for the reply! I'm relieved that you had the same problem and that after replacing the coolant pump you were back on the road again. Do you remember how much you paid for the repair? And has anything else come up since then that might indicate another broken part? Regards.

Hey, sure, I remember that the coolant pump cost me €565. It wasn't exactly a penny, but since then the coolant pump has been working perfectly again. The pump itself was defective. Since then, nothing else has appeared in my car that could indicate further damage. So, get it checked at the garage, old man. It's definitely worth it. Best regards!

Hey, thanks for the info, €565 sounds fair for a long lasting solution to the problem. Glad to hear you haven't had any further problems since. I'll pop into my garage and get it checked out. Hopefully it's nothing more serious. Really thanks for the help! See you then!
