Ye well we changed water pump and timing as it needed doing and will check tmoz for proper bleeding

I suspect a radiator problem as rad stays cold
While it’s all overheating

I put a post up earlier about overheating in traffic and slow speeds and temp seems to cool down on a run Changed fan clutch and works fine Changed water pump and timing New thermostat Done a sniff test and pressure test and seems fine at the coolant tank Radiator has been checked, flow seems fine b...

Yes will do further tests before we strip the head off

Radiator is 7 years old, so it’s in good condition as car is hardly driven. Just weekends and kept inside

My guess is water pump or blocked rad?

Think I need to change indies too

Is there anybody In Sheffield who knows there’s ways around the m20 engine

Need water pump/Cambelt change and valve adjustments

Thanks

My 325i m20 has been overheating when being driven in traffic/idle and my indie has been working on it, temp seems to go halfway when driven and Heaters go hot and cold too Changed fan clutch, had it bled 3x Changed thermostat and it had it taken out as it was faulty. Was advised to leave it out for...

I took my sunroof apart today as it was only tilting up and not opening up. As I was prying out the front the headliner ripped so i need to replace that.

I have installed a high end car audio system and I am not able to enjoy the car audio because it cuts off when I increase the volume The internal and external lights dim and then the whole system shuts down, not just the sub and amp . This Happens when I am stationary, when I am driving the system p...

It's been warning you of impending failure, and now it's broke. An hour or two's maintenance, and it would have gone on for another thirty years. Note that the lid isn't designed to keep out all of any rain water, so as long as it's nearly closed it should be fine in moderate rain. One of the contr...

Electric sunroof The sunroof has always been slow and never moved with just the switch but by gliding it along with my hand Now the right side of the sunroof has become loose and I can only tilt up but won’t fully open. Even with a helping hand. In the neutral position the sunroof doesn’t shut as th...

Drivers sport seat wanted or cloth.

Bolster and seat trim are ripped .

Thanks

Ok hopefully engine noise will go back to normal and I can enjoy the m20 note

Yep, loosen the alternator, get the belt off, you can finagle it over the fan and get it out - then start up and listen. This will take the viscous fan, water pump and alternator bearings out of the equation - I fitted a cheap viscous a while ago - the car sounded like an F1-11 taking off and it re...

Haven’t tried that yet

So undo the fan belt right and run it

So undo the fan belt right and run it

Performance is affected because there seems to be a lag when the fan is on and making that jet noise

Theres a fault that I can’t figure out and neither can the mechanic

I bought a BGA (bullsye)

Thanks Paul

The viscous fan comes in after 5 mins of driving It’s stays on and drowns the engine note and slows down the performance and deaccelaration is prolonged It’s a loud whining sound as the engine rpm increases I Have changed the radiator and fan coupling/clutch and still have the same problem I have bo...

Fixed new engine mounts, still whining when it warms up slightly and on deaccelarration.

Could a failed engine mount be causing this whining. It’s a loud screaming noise when revving and de accelerating. Also noticed the surrounding plastic around the fan damaged from being hit.

Very good and competitive prices

No that was done last year and I had the same problem from a differant mechanic which he sorted out

I used the NGK BPR6es plugs The old radiator was discoloured and the mechanic said it needs changing I am going back to the mechanic but want to give him some ideas of what he may have done wrong. It does feel like something is over tightened because it’s not smooth and feels stuck This was the radi...
