Hi Guys,
I'd made a thread earlier (http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...040#post520040) regarding the overheating of my '88 320i BMW.
Well that time, I'd got the radiator completely cleant + flushed and I went ahead and changed the setting so that the fan runs on the faster setting too.
After, leaving the car for about 10 days or so ... the car has begun going over half the mark again (almost 3/4th) and I don't think its the thermostat problem ... cause on opening the bonnet, I can feel the heat.
Last time, I'd got it serviced ... the mechanic told me my water pump didn't have any leaks and worked perfectly well. Also, right now ... the fan is working when the A/C is switched on.
Uh, just before I let it for the 10 days ... I noticed quite a lot of water loss below the car, probably A/C water? However, I topped off the coolant right now ... but it doesn't seem to help much.
Any thoughts? The car drives at around 3/4th at the thermo sensor ... should I risk taking it on a 2 hour drive to a mechanic I know? .. or should I do it locally?
