Radiator, expansion tank & water pump lifespan

[maze]

Hi Guys,My car is about 105,000km. My regular workshop said that it is time to change the water pump, radiator, expansion tank & some hoses. It is true that all this needs to be done? He said he had seen too many over-heating problem around 100k-120k milage.Cheers...

totally agree, you are lucky it didnt cause any problem for 105,000km. u better change especially the expansion tank and water pump. amazing your expansion tank can last you more than 100K whithout problem

Thanks for the feedback guys.

How much am I looking at to change all this parts?, at least i have a rough figure when the workshop gives me a quotation. Planning to get it done maybe this weekend.

Thanks guys.

The tank has to suffer tremendous pressure, unlike JDM. It will fail mostly triggered by a failing thermostat which of course stop coolant from passing and thus building up pressure in the expansion tank.

E90 expansion tank more expensive.. Reference here

However, in my 2007 model E90, it's running an electric on-demand water pump. So pressure does not build up when pump is not running, unlike traditional engine design where the pump is v-belt driven which runs constantly as long as engine has started.

Water pump, expansion tank, etc usually lasts up to 60k kms. Some have better luck and would last longer; some lesser. I've changed mine as a precaution already and i've just clocked 70+k. You dont want to be stuck on a rainy night.
