Just one thing I had a intermittent overheating prob(once or twice every couple of months)  but as soon as I put the heating controls on it went straight down to normal temp  also the display often came on 'coolant level'; eventually the rad burst, so I replaced the rad, thermostat & coolant sensor but 'coolant level' keeps coming up on the display, any ideas?! |
well the rad, tstat and sensor... you still have the water pump (could leak from the weep hole for a while before it totally fails) and you have quite a bit of hoses there.
Intermittent over heating seems like an air bubble - so might as well check the WP and all hoses.
As for my cars it now has 135,500 (shes a 1990 525)
and the "other 5er" (e39) has 110,000 now. (shes a 1998 528)
Guess it's time for a new one!
