Can anyone confirm a failed water pump (video)
By putting the car into coolant bleed mode, I tested the water pump. It makes a noise but doesn't move coolant Although I think I know the answer but wanted to confirm if the water pump needs to be replaced. If so, I should probably replace the thermostat as well (although can a water pump be replaced without the thermostat?) https://streamable.com/dqh56 |

Yes, you can replace the WP without the thermostat... though I'm not sure why you would want to. They are both service/maintenance items and in the same location. If one has failed the other is likely to fail within 10,000 miles. Do both.

Yea that's fair, I will change both. I was thinking in terms of immediate access to parts but was able to source both
For those that have changed this before, do you have to change the hose clamps to new ones? I've read somewhere the 'always change your hose clamps' |

You should also carefully examine the rubber inlet hose from the engine coolant pipe that feeds into the pump. It absorbs the heat thru the stainless pipe coming off the bottom of the engine; and weaken over time.

I noticed there are 2 types of WP
One for those with Adaptive Drive/4 way climate control made of plastic hose connectors, and the fully aluminum one Bav auto says they are not interchangeable I don't have adaptive drive, but have 4 way climate control. Why exactly are they not interchangeable? |

Its the location of the electrical connector, I would look at one of the BMW parts retailers : ECS tuning, or eEuroparts and compare their product photos for each application. You should be able to tell what the differences are.

^ other than that, are the pumps effectively the same?
I saw Texan use the metal one instead of the plastic VDO oem one - just shifted the wiring harness around As in, will the 4 climate climate control still work? |

I believe so; but don't quote me on it.
