We have been - well not Fool Jam.......let's be honest, that's the kind of
advice that does nobody any favours. 15 years of working on BMW's versus a mouthy interet hero - no contest if you really need help. To re-iterate - does the heater blow hot/warm air? If it does you don't have an airlock. If it doesn't, you do. If you have a massive airlock, you need to bleed the system out properly. It could be something as simple as a bad seal on the base of the expansion bottle where it fits into the side of the radiator. It's a long shot, but possible. Shytalk - PM me if you want. |

ANYWAY hi shytalk, welcome to the forum, before you go spending shti loads on yr new engine and plastic surgery for yr fingers, sounds like you have an air lock, if you check the botton hose you will find its stone cold, check the 5 series forum i think andrew rolland posted a way of bleeding these, its very time consuming but cheaper than gaskets ect. there is a small hose at the back of the engine that leaks so over a period of time (unless you fix it ) you will be back to overheating, when bleeding make sure ignition is on fan speed set to one and heat on max .good luck let us know how you get on hth
