Fill the water tank at max,(engine off) Put fans on max high temp and wait ,if needed add more coolant.If coolant is not falling anymore close watertank,open bleed screw a little so that air can come,start engine and watch bleed screw,if there is no more bubles coming youre done.But dont forget to check coolant level again to add some after bleeding.
@Sir-Kay2 жыл бұрын
You dumb thing, so "if needed add more coolant" tell me how is anyone on earth going to bleed a cooling system at least in a BMW without adding coolant? so, the thing is, you don't use the word "if needed" as you definitely need to add coolant. Secondly, After putting the fans on max temp before filling the water reservoir, you need to open the bleeding screw so as to watch it let out water bubbles as you fill the reservoir, you'll continue this until ONLY coolant is comes out. Screw everything back on, start the engine and check for leaks, refill the reservoir if coolant level drops and repeat the process is problem persists.
@jerolvilladolid4 жыл бұрын
You still have to start the engine, allow the thermostat to open, so the coolant circulates through the system. Air trapped in all the nooks and crannies can only escape when the coolant is circulating. Then have the bleeder screw cracked (meaning half open), so air can escape, and the expansion tank fluid will go down (coz the air is replaced by the coolant). Keep filling in more coolant until it wont go down anymore. I did this and the car literally took 4 liters more coolant!

im on my 4th coolant tank for my e46!!! I now understand that BMW does not like China parts! The only one that clamps down correctly without a hassle is a BEHR OM TANK. I just had one, but did not bleed correctly and busted the o ring. I put the cap on too prematurely and couldnt turn car off in time before it popped the bottom. smh ...I then got desperate, bought a cheap Dorman from autozone, didnt fit correctly, lasted 1 day. DORMAN is complete trash! do not buy! only buy BEHR which is OM, or from BMW directly! all tanks are a pain on a bmw e46 honestly, but so far BEHR snaps on easiet. When my new one comes, i will follow your process to a T! this week has been hell for me! Thanks for the video! BLESS UP!!!

I will recommand to use bmw coolant only. If 10$ is the problem for you so i suggest to not buy a bmw. Those engine components were developped considering coolant chimical proprieties. If you prefer to trust a guy that doesnt know what he's talking about then that's your concern. There is no "electrical pump" in there cars, the heat is turned on to open the electric thermostat then the coolant can run into the large circuit. But if the guy with engine light and some other issues tell you that there is no problem with green coolant, so that most be true...

You can use green or blue coolant as long as it meets BMW N 600 69.0 specs and doesn’t contain nitrite, amine and phosphate. Always mix 50/50 as that is OEM standard. An example of this is Penrite’s Green OEM Coolant Concentrate. Ofcourse don’t mix blue with green (i.e. use what’s in there), but don’t be turned off using green coolant, just do some research.

Thanks for this, I have been chasing my air bubble for a while so going to use this process to finally get rid of it, as so many people claiming the right and oly procedure out there. Can I ask, once I have done this process if I take the car for a drive get it right up to max heat, can I pull over open up the bleed screw a few turns to get any extra air out and then tighten off again whilst keeping the ET cap on all the time? Is it okay to do that? Then park up let it go cold - check the level again in the ET. Can an air bubble too stubborn to get out using this process? Sorry amateur who only knwo about the outside not the inside of a car. P.S. nicely handled with the green coolant haters on here. Ultimatley there's the millions BMW spend on marketing and their of wording things is to deliberately make us fear missing out and to have to have peace of mind so we must pay their prices. Other companies just shut up and make great stuff without the added value and our cost of fancy marketing. :)

what model is this car ? I am facing an issue with my 2003 318i model. All the sudden coolant leaked and every time I pour coolant and fill to the max and go for little drive. the coolant leaks and It went to red zone temp and I parked right away. So can you assist what can the issue be ?
@Zeiten7 жыл бұрын
this car is 1999 bmw 328i, in your case you need to find where its leaking from, solve the leak and bleed the system, do you see leak on the ground when car parked? if so tell me where so i can point you where to look first, also whats the mileage on the car?

It’s based on the specs of the coolant you’re using. Penrite has green coolant thats OEM approved by BMW. Other brands have green coolant you cant use. If the coolant meets the specs, it’s fine to use.

Very possible, after expansion tank replacement cooling system absolutely must be bled, i would say you are most likely one step away from overheating, coolant light on most likely because of pressure build up
