    Default I might have a pump ....

    if you are interested.
    I just replaced mine, suspecting that it is my problem. I open a topic about it ( http://www.bimmer.info/forum/showthread.php?t=27089 ), but I found out the source of my problem just yesterday. It is unbelievable ..... anyway it is not the pump. I will post the solution soon (even with a pic.)
