  1. ok thanks for your replies guys, im not comfortable enough to try any of these things myself so i guess ill have to take it back to the BMW workshop and have them take a look and quote me for it. thanks again
  2. awesome, the last thermostat and clutch pump thing wasnt cheap and gotta spend even more now. what am i looking at in regards to cost for a full cooling system replacement do you think? is it gonna be as painful as it sounds? thanks for your reply
  3. Make: BMW Model: 325i Year: 1991 Chassis: E36 Hi Guys, i need some advice/help urgently please. a few months ago i started having heating issues where if i accelerated rapidly or drove for an extended period of time my BMW would start to get very hot to the point where it risked over heating (i never let it). I took it to the grey lynn BMW workshop and they identified it to be a faulty thermostat so replaced it. they also noticed it still run alittle hot and said it was due to a broken clutch thing for the water pump. So i had that replaced too. for about a month it ran fine, no more heating issues. after that month past it started happening again, this time once it got about 3/4 of the way up the temp gauge it would start to cool down again (i assumed it was the electric fan kicking it) so it didnt cause much problem so i ignored it. Now it is the worst its been, i cannot drive more then 100-200m without the rapidly heating to the point of redline on the temp gauge. i have to stop after 100m and let it idle so it cools down to operating temp. if i turn it off it takes logner as the engine fan isnt on. does anyone know what the issue is? if its a thermostat issue again why do they keep going bad? its only been a month since it was replaced i dont understand. my car is now in an undriveable condition as i dont want it to overheat. please help
