bmw.maniac 1 Report post Posted February 5, 2007 I posted this in Maintenance but no replies I have been offered a dirt cheap e30 pre f/l 320i, only catch is a problem with the cooling system pressurizing. It drives fine around town, but once you hit motorway speed it pressurizes and blows the heat hose off. Has anybody heard of, or had this problem before? How much can I expect to spend to fix it? Thanks Heaps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmccormack 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2007 A cracked head can pressurize the cooling system. Are you sure the hose is in good condition and the hose clamp is done up properly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
