Re: Overheating 318is - Please help ??
I had the same kinda thing with my E46, all hot apart from the bottom hose, ended up being the thermostat, it also caused it to be a right pain to bleed any air out of, so changed thermostat and away we go..
So try a new or even take out the thermostat and see what happens...
hope this helps..

Re: Overheating 318is - Please help ??
Yep, as the water needs to flow through the heater matrix, if it's locked somewhere, it won't produce heat..

Re: Overheating 318is - Please help ??
A couple of things that might help.. 1: Remove thermostat completly and see if this helps. 2: If rad replaced recently, make sure you haven't got an air lock. 3: Make sure your coolant level doesn't drop over night (might have a leak) 4: Is rad fan working ok? 5: Agree with Geeman, might as well rep...

MPG swingometer thing...
OK,
mine only seems to kick in when it gets to 2500 revs, and then seems to be really sensitive..
I think I have the wrong white plug in the dash..!! would this be the cause..
If so does anyone have a 1 377 670..??
