Does anyone have the going rate for a WP & T-stat replacement at their local Indy? I think parts alone will run roughly $500 if I get the parts through on-line sources.
Bummer - the water pump was already replaced about 4 years and 50K ago.

I am observing some symptoms on my car too (‘09 3.0).
I haven’t seen the overheated message on iDrive yet though. I used ISTA+ and monitored my wp spinning speed, and other owners confirmed my wp is failing.
Check FCP euro for parts. They have better prices.
I was also advised to not be so ocd on wp brand, as long as it is oe or oem.
I was thinking of Pierburg for wp and Mahle for Tstat (Changing both at the same time).
