BMW Water Pump Gasket - Reinz 11511731372

Product Information

An engine water pump gasket is a sealing component that sits between the water pump and the engine block or timing cover. It prevents coolant from leaking out of the water pump as it circulates through the engine to regulate temperature. The gasket helps maintain a watertight seal to ensure the coolant flows properly, which is essential for keeping the engine at an optimal operating temperature. This gasket must be replaced any time the water pump is removed.

• Coolant Leaks: One of the most obvious symptoms of a failing water pump gasket is coolant leaking from the engine.
• Overheating Engine: If the water pump gasket fails, coolant may leak, reducing the coolant level and compromising the engine's ability to stay cool. An insufficient amount of coolant in the system can cause the engine to overheat, which is a serious issue that needs immediate attention.

About Reinz

Founded by Hugo Reinz in 1920, Reinz has been known for the manufacturing of Automotive gaskets for over 90 years. For almost a century Reinz has provided gaskets and sealing products for both auto manufacturers and as an aftermarket solution for car enthusiasts. Their full catalog features over 15,000 different products, providing a great selection for excellent value. Way back in 1962 Reinz became the (OEM) original equipment manufacturer for the prestigious Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen car companies, a strong partnership that still continues to this day. The company continues to innovate and stay well ahead of the curve. For example, Reinz stopped using asbestos in their gaskets 12 years before it was banned in Germany in 1993. Reinz performs because every part they manufacture meets OEM standards – meaning you're getting great value that you can believe in. Many brands and models use sealing solutions from Reinz. In 1993 Reinx became a partner to the American company, Dana, to form the largest manufactures of components for automobile and commercial vehicles. The Gasket segment of Dana was Victor at the time ahich was then merged with Reinz to form the brand name of "Victor Reinz".
