Hello to all.
Right so here goes, I've read many many threads here and other places regarding Cooling system. Start from beginning. 4 weeks ago bought a 96 318i auto touring £600 FULL history 2 owners nice n tidy new gearbox 60k ago sitting At 160k now. Went to collect and rad fractured, ok I thought been standing and is bloody cold got new one sorted. Drove 250 miles home, all well. So decided to do gearbox oil change, filter, gasket etc all good then over heats on couple mile drive home no warmth in the cabin! Right thermostat shot, old one out it's busted new one in magic, bleed rad heat in cabin out for a spin lovely! Get up next day out we go cold morning heat on and nothing so bleed again and buger broke bleed screw and can't no matter what get it out so sealed it up. Alls been good then low and behold it over heats when the cars turned off so flushed system all good so drove 200 miles and smooth as silk, pulled into services for a quick drink and the cars over spilling through rad cap as I've switched of engine but all fine at idle, let it cool and filled rad and put coolant down through top hose until overspill from top of rad, no air! Carry on another 200 miles and all good, driving and at tick over, awesome! drive at destination and yup switch off and overspills! This has now happened couple of times only when is switched off! Bleed screw I know ain't great but is air tight. Any advice would much much much muchly appreciated.
Thanks all
Cooling System Still!
