BMW cooling system drama Originally Posted by bmvw Why is there so much drama with the BMW cooling system. I have a 300,000 mile Toyota and I think I only checked the coolant once. Yet BMW (& I hear Benz also) one little plastic part breaks and $5000 engine. What I have found, is a lot of people think these are little race cars and neglect basic PM( prevtative Maintenance). Also because of that, some owners just don't take the time and when you find one, it's been abused.

Ok guys I am going to bump this because I am about lost in my troubles. I have bled the system more times than I can count now following these instructions to the T. I have replaced every single part and hose to the cooling system so everything is new. MY car is still getting hot sitting at idle and thats with the fan wired to run all the time. Headgasket is fine, no smoke and the plugs are bone dry. NO coolant leaks at all anywhere in the system. Could it be a faulty temp sender? Wiring from the sender bad? This is a motor that came from a running car with no cooling issues before I put it in. Any Ideas or thoughts? I really have bled the system over 20 times and even bypassed the heater core to ensure there wasnt any chance for any air pockets in that system. Thanks, I am just at a loss here.
