Alright M30 guys, I'm sick of this overheating issue....

Yep, I think it should work!

Ok,,, i'll try that tomorrow.


Is that how you did it?

Try jacking the front of the car up and pumping water into the overflow tank at a slow pace with the bleed screw open. I think you have an air bubble as well... Or your cooling fan is too small.

Bump.

I measured that my radiator is mounted 1" below the top of my thermostat.

I think I may have air by the thermostat, causing it not to open as often as it should. But with that being said, Why can't I bleed it with the bleed screw then?

And my radiator is hot though...

I'm driving along at 60mph, and the temp gauge runs fine at 1/4 hot. Once I stop, like waiting at a red light for 2 minutes, it goes past halfway and ALMOST into the 3/4 zone. Even with my E-fan on high, it won't cool it down. BTW, I have plenty of heat coming through my vents, so the air isn't there. My coolant hoses are pretty pressurized and If i turn the car off and open the overflow tank, coolant will come spewing out.

This is in 45 degree weather too. I'm scared what's going to happen in 80 degree summer heat..


HOW THE HELL DID YOU GUYS GET THE AIR OUT? WHAT'S THE HEIGHT PROCEDURE BETWEEN RADIATOR,COOLANT TANK, ENGINE?


What tricks are there that I may have missed?
