Hey guys. My sister smoked a rock with my e46. Damage seems to be contained to the radiator and lower coolant pipes and engine fan. Will be taking it apart to see if anything else got wrecked. Do we think it’s worth fixing. Already 3500 into this car. Engine did not over heat or anything decided to piss all the coolant out once she got it back ti my house
Engine is solid with only 108k miles
Coolant trapped in system makes the float sit low and low coolant light turn on
Hey guys. In my 2001 325i I have this weird issue where the coolant will stay trapped In the system until I release the bleeder screw and remove trapped air. When I do that coolant flows back into the expansion tank returning the float to the right position. The expansion tank is only a couple years old and I have no over heating issues. There isn’t a leak that I can detect but maybe a minor one under the manifold is causing this.
Any ideas to what’s causing this. Pictures of the temp running well while coolant lights on and showing that my coolant level is optimal after bleeding the air through the screw.
Thanks
Noise coming from front of the car by the fan and pulleys. I replaced the old and cracked belts but it’s still there. Is this the tensioner and pulley parts should I refresh the whole system and fan?
Replaced my valve gasket cover with an elring one and after torquing it all down to spec it’s completely flush on the gasket but when inspecting the cover is flush by the screws but slightly off on parts without screws is that normal. Pic to explain it better but the gasket is not loose but the cover sits a little higher
New to e46 got a 2001 325i sedan as a project car. Low miles only 103k and 3 code on engine. There is smoke that comes sometimes when the engine heats up on the passenger side rear of the engine. Is it the valve cover gasket. It smells like burnt oil.
Codes are:
P0175
P0313
P0455
Thanks!
Got into 0DTE to try and make up losses from not selling at a profitable spot in the crypto cycle. Started with 500 blew it then added 5k blew it than my genius regard self added 10k more and guess what… blew it. Don’t be like me don’t trade spy 0DTE shits gambling. Luckily this loss won’t break me but money is money.
