Overheating problem
Just bought a 91 318is, 200k mi, new radiator hose, and idle control valve. Also a new coolant hose. car was driven over 140 miles, no problem.
I pick it up, drive it no more than 3 miles, and the engine temp clicks. we pull over, white smoke/steam coming off the engine. We burp the system, and pour more water into the radiator and let it cool.
Temp gets to driving standard, start it up and it clicks again. Odd smell in the cabin (new car, dont know if its the regular smell anyway:eeek:) - was driving fine, didnt sound like it was having any trouble, but then again i wasn't driving it hard.
Thoughts? Inquiries? What you got guys? :(
Edit:
I found out that it was cylinders 2 and 3 on the head were cracked, which is a whore, but if any of you have a good cylinder head for sale, send me a message pleaasssssssssse
