I just purchased a 1991 318iS with 153000 miles. Overall im thrilled but i had a couple of questions.
The engine fan has a couple of blades broken off and so it runs a little loud.
Where is the best place to get a new fan? And can i just get the blades without the clutch etc?
My engine temperature gauge only makes it up to the first notch (about 1/2 way to normal temperature) no matter how long i drive. Is this a faulty gauge or a faulty thermostat?
Also my check engine light come on intermittently (on for five minutes off for five etc). My first thought was oxegyn sensor, but just wondering if anyone had any ideas?
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
