Car runs hot after dasc install?
 

Did anyone else notice their car running warmer after a dasc install? I have a high powered electric fan and the car stayed cool just fine before the install. Now if I am driving through the city at low speed (20mph or less) the car gets between the middle and 3/4 mark. There are only a couple thousand miles on the t-stat and water pump. I am wondering if the radiator hose has something to do with it? My car is an e30 so I think the hose sits a lot higher than normal, and is also bent at a more severe angle, but I checked it and the angle should not be restricting flow.

Any Ideas?

Maybe the electric fan is not working?

Nope mate, no hotter for me. I would be careful driving it because it sounds like you have a fault with your cooling system somewhere. The hose shouldnt make any difference, unless you have big air bubbles in it, give it a squeeze! Do you have a coolant leak? It took me ages to work out how to get that big hose to seal correctly onto the t stat.

Mine ran hot after install and even hotter with the pulley changed. I have fitted a new rad, waterpump, elec cooling fan with viscous delete and removed the thermostat. It now runs perfect

maybe install a lower temp. fan switch and see if that helps it, i believe bavauto sells on that a few degrees cooler than stock

the electric fan is working and I do have the lower temp fan switch. I feel like its not something to do with my cooling system because it was fine before the install.

as i said mine was fine before as well, the blower increased temps considerably on my Z3 but now funs spot on

try flushing your cooling system thoroughly

I will try bleeding the system.

I talked to another guy with an e30 DASC and he said the only time his would heat up is in stop and go traffic when its 100 out. And he has NO FAN!!!
