2000 E46 318ia Water leak back of head and stalling when cold.

[KEMPTY 0]

Just found the water leak at the back of the head. Possibly hose or fitting in back of the head. How difficult is it to rectify this. Second issue, stalls when first starting and idling cold and selecting drive stalls as well. Once warm no problems. Holds gear when driving cold until warms up which I believe is fairly normal. It's just the initial starting and running cold and stalling that I would like to sort out.

will most likly need a new rear pipe flange , comon plastic part to fail.

have new ones if needed.

also stalling could be the PCV , they also just fail with age.

Hi Brent, Thanks for the reply. Looking at doing this job on Friday. What would you estimate the degree of difficulty, on a scale of 1-10 for both jobs and what would the cost of the flange and PCV be. Cheers Kenny.
