2008 mini cooper s water pump and thermostat
i have a small leak coming from my water pump so its time to change it out. i figure while i am at it, might as well do the thermostat and flush the system. looking for recommendations on an online retailer for the water pump and thermostat. i refuse to go to the dealer for anything but wanna make sure i get the right parts at the right price.

We keep both parts in stock, and the water pump we send will be the updated aluminum one rather than the plastic one you prob have now.
R56 Water Pump
R56 Thermostat
We also carry the pipe that connects the pump to the thermostat

The water pump and thermostat are on different sides of the engine so there is no reason to do the thermostat if it isn't leaking. About the only "common" step between the two processes would be "drain the coolant". However, it wouldn't surprise me if you fixed the water pump and the thermostat started leaking shortly after.

Here is the DIY for the water pump and the thermostat with the parts linked.
Doing them both at the same time will get two problems done at once.

It will wiggle loose if the thermostat is disconnected from the side of the head. Make sure that clip is not hung up and all the way out. Give the thermostat a twist.

Height of misery, just put her back together and the pump dumped water on the garage floor as I was testing her out. Ordered a few parts from WMW. The plastic junk lasted 9 years. I had heard some whirring sound from the area and there was traces moisture thrown by the belt. I was in the process of bleeding and listening when the coolant dumped. It looks like the pulley wheel and friction tensioner need to be changed so I ordered them as well.

Yea, if they are chewed up and making noise, most of the time its that friction wheel. When my WP went its leaked at the very bottom with a crack in the housing. Replaced with a new metal one.

It's better to replace them. They gave nine years of service. I suspect there's a crack at the bottom of mine. I'll know for sure when I pull it out.
#19
Yep. Mine was there at the bottom.
