My water pump has no cover.
Does anyone have cover over the heater/water valve and secondary water pump? They are located tthe rear of the engine compartment on the driver's side.
My etk indicated there is indeed a cover part 64 11 1 388 000 for teh US cars. I purchased it through my dealer. The packaging indicated 64 11 1 388 000, However the part they gave me is stamped 64 11 1 388 001.9. Is this a superseeded part number?
Even so, the part will not attach. It appears that it is to "snap on" the three cap nuts holding the heater/water valve in place. Will not. The nuts on my car look too small and short. Did I get the wrong part or do I need to replace the cap nuts?
I know this is a small matter, but it looks wrong to have the electrical wires and the heater/valve exposed. I suspect any of you pro mechanics have the answer to this one.
Little things like this irritate me.
Thanks in advance

i don't believe that the five-two-five (aside from the european models) came with heater control valve covers.
how is it attached/connected?

It shows as a US part # in the ETK

i am not aware of how it is supposed to connect......i would just get extentions for the castle nuts until the cover fits on, as i don't think either number was really intended for the 25 cars.
I specifically inputed 1995 525i in my etk and it stated this part was for my car. So did the dealer. I now suspect it is not installed on the US 525is, Perhaps the 530 or 540i. Not sure why.
Thanks again.

i did a poll about this on the old board because i wanted to add one too....only gentleman with a 525i that had one was on a UK-english model. if its just a matter of extending the nuts, i think i might get one from the junker and put it on.
