Hey guys.

First post as i'm new here.

I drive a 320i E90 2005 Model. I have just replaced the upper radiator hose/pipe yesterday afternoon as it had a leak. Anyhow, i am familiar with the bleeding process, provided the car has an electric water pump. My climate control unit does not wanna switch on when i put the ignition on, the climate controls only come on once i start the car and I've no idea why. Could this be a fuse ? Is the climate control unit faulty ? It has not done this before. Problem is, i now need to bleed the system and i'd be lying if i said i knew what water pump the car has....IE: Electric water pump or manual/normal water pump. Can someone assist me WRT what water pump my car has and how to bleed the cooling system. I need to get my wheels back on the road asap.[/font]

I would GREATLY appreciate any advice, provided it is correct.

Thank you!:eek:mgwaiting:

Hi There and welcome.

According to RealOEM your car has a mechanical waterpump.
