BMW/1990 BMW 525i - overheating
Advertisement
Question
The thermostate, head gasket and water pump have all been changed. The car continues to overheat and anti-freeze shoots out the top of the engine. What else could I do?
The E34 5-series is can be a pain to get the air out of the system. try to re-bleed the system with the heat on, so it will remove any bubbles that might be in the heater core. Try flushing the air out and see how that does.
Good luck,
Josh

Expertise
I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.
Experience
I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
