For the second video. I’m a bmw master tech 15 years. I’m going to try again. The hard lines you looked at. Following the outline of the battery pack and near the right rear of the vehicle. The mounting tab on the line cracks at the weld it leaks from there. There is a mounting bracket that need to be removed along with almost all the under body panels and a structural mount. It’s a very very tiny crack but you will see it. It only leaks when it get hots so a cold vehicle pressure test won’t show. And if you do a hot vehicle pressure test you don’t see it cause the pressure goes down any way since the vehicle is cooling down. My dealer actually put a motor in a i8 for the exact same reason.
Good mechanics with patience and a great attitude are hard to come by. You can tell he enjoys his job even when the diagnostics become difficult. Cheers, bro!
When you love your job, it’s not a job and every problem can be fixed. Hours go by like minutes. I had a job like that and I could spend 15 hours straight chasing gremlins for the eureka moment when it finally works as intended.
I used to run a factory that made radiators with plastic tanks for one of the Big 3 in the Midwest. We supplied 1 million radiators to our customer without a defect over about 7 years. We tested to 30PSI using air. Looking at that little segment of the radiator leaking, it looks like the tank wasn't crimped onto the core very well. I'd be curious if they forgot the rubber gasket that goes between the tank and core, or if it was twisted when installed. Since you are getting a new radiator, I'd be curious to see what the core looks like under the tank. We used to have alot of issues with the flux used to solder the aluminum cores to the end plates, getting into the seal channel, causing leaks. Just bend the tabs back with a screwdriver/pair of pliers/prybar until you can take the tank loose. You might have found a factory defect.
Id say your correct. My Australian ford falcon had a overheating issue spent ages trying to find it ended up being the crimp on the radiator. It didn't leak but when cold it sucked in air then it would overheat in a few minutes
Bought a used Ford F-150 from auction. Truck would overheat once thermostat would open. Tried different thermostat. No. Thouht what the heck, what about a new overflow cap? $6 dollars later and some burping, problem solved.
You def didn't supply for GM trucks cuz I've replaced dozens of Suburban/Silverado radiators leaking at that seam between the plastic edge tank and the radiator core
Was just about to ask if there was a way to snake or trace the entire coolant track, even throughout the engine. I really hope they fine the issue. I can’t take another unsolved mystery lol😥😳
@Second American Revolution not to see it dripping its like heat vision. Shows whats hot and cooler and will show exactly where 5he hot coolant is and if half the radiator is hot and half cold then you know its not flowing or with line or any of that. Its a great idea.
I'm actually one of the techs that worked on the car. Replaced the oil filter housing, mechanical water pump, and one of the turbo aux coolant pumps. I tried bleeding this car for 3 days. That car needs an engine, the water pump and oil filter housing I took off were melted. The engine sounded fine so we tried to save it, there is a blockage in the engine itself somewhere and probably other places. I have nightmares of this car to this day. Eventually you will get oil pressure faults in the DME

You have should started with removing the termostat, disconecting hose in the lowest spot, under the car ... connect tap water or garden hose to it and see if the water is able to circulate thru the system before trying anything else.
I was thinking about this the whole time: it's a closed circuit so open it at the "beginning" ( i.e. where the cold water leaves the radiator to the engine ) and feed cold water into it with a hose or something. If water doesn't come out of the radiator, there's a a clog somewhere. Changing the entry point for the water up the system will surely show up where it's at.

@@Samcrac funny watching to Copart videos with you on your webcam and wondering if you knew what you were actually doing because you only had that many subs. Well, however many years later you were right man! Love seeing people make it!
I bet on a return hose from radiator being blocked at/near one of easily accesible fittings which are not disconnected during servicing, there will be a golf ball or something like that pushed in, try running tap water through the system and verify manually which hoses get hard and which not, that will tell you place of blockage.
Just started watching this as it just hit my feed. I'm an MR2 owner, have been for 28 years, so I have some experience with mid engine cars. Not with BMW's so grain of salt thing. Typically, for MR2's, if the coolant reservoir is bubbling then chances are good either air in the system or head gasket failure. Coolant pressure test and bleed down test are the next go to. Again, I don't work on BMW's at all so still waiting to watch more videos to see if you all figure out what it actually was. Just posting this to see if I'm even close or not. Hope you figured it out so I'm rewarded by watching more videos LOL.
Many many years ago I had a Ford Capri with a overheating issue. In the end it turned out to be a rubber ball. Someone had removed a hose and placed a kids ball in it and replaced the hose. Lot more to the story but you get the gist.
An old diesel mechanics trick was to place a small ball from a bearing in the fuel line. Small enough to move around in the fuel line. Ran fine at low RPM. As soon as you put a load on it the ball was sucked into a restricted part of the fuel line and shut down the engine. They did this to make you pay the bill for what ever repair you had done. Usually an engine overhaul. Guy would say I need my truck to make the money to pay you. Mechanic would do the ball trick so you would come back to get it fixed. You had to pay up for them to remove the ball. Truck would drive fine without a large load on it. But put a 60,000 lb trailer on it it would go fifty feet without falling flat on its face.
@@larrycosby2010 that's fucking nasty... if i'd ever found out a guy was doing that to screw me over... i'd make sure a decent sized ball would obstruct his air-pipe!
@@Stop..carry-on No need, they sell the _real_ Mustang in the UK and Europe now. .... I always wanted a Capri when I was a kid, later thinking, after Ford discontinued the Capri, that I would ike a Mk1 V6 to restore. .... Later I moved to the US and got myself a Mustang GT. :)
@samcrac have you tried using an infra-red scope to see temp differences between coolant supply and return hoses? If there's a huge temp difference in a same hose could be sign of a blockage, same for radiator.
Yep. I agree. I am thinking it could be a blockage, maybe a deliberate one, in a pipe somewhere. Even more scary, and I hate to even suggest it, is a blockage in the water channels in the block itself. I hope that is pure paranoia.
@@peterj5751 Had a full blockage once - there was no antifreeze in the coolant, and the water was frozen solidly. The thermometer didn't indicate any problems. Of course, with no water circulation, it just measures the temperature of an ice block. The first sign of trouble was that the fan/water pump/generator belt failed (since the water pump was locked, of course). The car was am E21 316 (note the absence of the "i"). The M10 engine survived (needed a new head gasket, though).
I absolutely agree with you bmwspeedman.... isolation of problem is the key here... After all its just a machine with some issue with water circulation. If u notice the cooling fan is running at low speed thereby indicating the radiator is not sensing a high temp.... You never know, someone could have stuffed the long radiator hoses with something to sabotage the car.... so isolation of water circulation has to be identified
@@ikhalid1 exactly my point. Could also be clogged water passages in the block, therefore @Samcrac needs to know water is flowing freely in the engine block. The expansion tank boiling but the radiator sensing either warm enough water for low speed or for no fan activation at all suggests blocked water ways.
@@moniack if BMW dealer themselves are suggesting to change the engine, maybe they suspect the same, water passageways blocked within the engine block.
@@bmwspeedman the problem is that in modern dealership shops, they no longer want to waste time with true diagnostics. The advent of the ECU/PCM made old school diagnostics go away. Now they only rely on their computers and what it says goes. Ironically, BMW is notorious for throwing codes. A leaking vacuum line or intake fan will throw misfire codes or o2/cat codes. The car runs fine otherwise. But nowadays the techs (mechanics, they no longer call themselves that) swear by the scanner and the computer (stuff like alldata). The digital FSMs basically will say "replace engine" if you go through a diagnostic tree and yield no results. Same for the transmission. In the case of this car, there is a possibility that the head is warped but not mixing with the oil. There is a chance a head gasket leaks near an exhaust port and no other part of the engine is compromised but the exhaust smoke feels damp and it overheats since the exhaust fumes are heating up the water. Keep in mind as the sabatoge idea gets explored.
The laser is just a pointer. The distance-to-spot ratio tells the size of the measured area and the thermometer calculates the average temperature of that area.
It works for surface temperatures, provided you follow the directions. I use mine for car parts, weather measurements, cooking guidelines, and telling whether or not I might have COVID. Just read the directions before use.
So I used to work for a DAF dealership, they're a European truck brand and are owned by PACCAR, same family as Peterbilt and Kenworth. The MX engine had some terrible issues with o-ring failure, particularly the o-rings that sealed the oil cooler. We used TURCO Plaudit to get the oil out of the coolant system. I think its original purpose was to clean home central heating system pipes. We would do a couple of flushes with it following the o-ring and cooler repair, followed by refilling the system under vacuum with OAT coolant. This might be useful for anyone who has contamination issues in their coolant system, you may not be able to get the exact product but hopefully you can find something similar in your local area. I understand that oil fired central heating isn't as popular in the Americas as it is here in the UK, but maybe your local plumber could help direct you to a similar product.

Those radiators are junk. They are used on numerous vehicles with the plastic cap and plastic bottom. I owned a Camaro that ran the same type of radiator and it ended up leaking between the top plastic cap and the aluminum body of the radiator. If you can purchase an all aluminum radiator without the plastic end caps I would suggest you go with that. I don’t even understand why any manufacturer would use plastic on a cooling system that can build up pressure under hot temps.
Yeah, that's my nephew Steven dedicated to find out what the problem is understanding that this is a learning experience that will make him better as a automotive tech.
@@zxggwrt It doesn't look dubbed though. Looks like she's actually saying "project car." Besides, if it was really her from a video some studio would likely send a DMCA takedown notice. I think he actually paid her (or some chick with big tits) to do this skit for the show.
@Clams McGee I don't think anybody knew she had a YT channel - I certainly didn't. Just checked the description after I read your comment and saw her channel there.
To quote Hoovie, from "Hoovie's Garage", you've got a "steaming pile of German automotive excellence." I owned a 7-Series for a few painful years. It was like dating a super-model with a heroin habit. You could not give me a BMW after that experience.
Shame about that as I’ve owned three bmw’s the 535 740 and the z4 all of which I bought secondhand usually around 2 years old but this was when they built good cars mostly in the nineties and early 2000’s they were all trouble free
On one of the cars I bought from a repo/yard, the previous owner had taken a wad of denim(old blue jeans it looked like) & jammed it into a coolant line so that it would overheat.
Makes me wonder if someone used a leak sealer at some point and gummed it all up. Should be interesting to suspect the old radiator to see what you find.
You are right, but they are a very fun and comfortable car to drive :) I have a Volvo and BMW with about same milage and I've had to do about 4500€ (no big repairs) of repairs in the last year on the BMW meanwhile the Volvo only has had oil changes and brake pads done in the last 2-3 years.
It's hit and miss same with all car's, get a poorly maintained 1 and it will be a constant nightmare. I thought my old bmw was a money pit till i purchased a vag motor spent more time in the garage than the bmw ever did. Driving the vag motor there's a constant thought of what's going to break today
He also said that bmws have overly complicated engines, some components while basic and easy to get access to in other vehicle brands take a hell of an effort to get access to in a bmw engine bay. 🤣🤣
@@Nino-bu9mj that's not my experience with bmw. Maybe the access has got a bit less due to now being turbo engines, the 1 & 2 series will be the worst as their tiny cars. Has your mate ever worked on a vag motor ? Their the worst for access to anything. Have to take my front end of to change the rad/ unmount the engine to get enough space to get at the turbo. Subframe off to change the exhaust downpipe, rollbar bushes. People are massively miss guided thinking bmw are that bad when it's actually the vag group who make the more unreliable cars.. it's like the whole bmw drivers never indicate or just pull out on ya, when audi drivers are the worst for that
Sam, Just curious, have you checked the coolant for the presence of combustion gasses? I've never worked on a BMW, but every time I've seen an engine bubble like that into the coolant it has been a blown head gasket, a cracked head, or block.
From my experience, this is a cracked head or just a blown head gasket. The guy who laughed at the problem provided the biggest clue. "Driving around with it overheating". What solved it?
I'm somewhat certain that there is a blockage in the cooling system somewhere near radiator Sam , there is no other sensible reason why its not recovering at all and even blowing the radiator , but anyways excellent content and can't wait to see more content and gives me a lot a information about these cars , the new thermostat and waterpump also may help to a good extent. Thanks for the content and sharing all these experiences and knowledge with us . Awesome , epic channel , keep it up and God bless.
Possibility that the rad had a small leak and someone put an entire can of stop leak pellets or silver seal in the cooling system and it all settled in the rad causing blockage. Seen ut before, small 4cyl with a pinhole leak and put 3 cans of stop leak in and it turns to cement in system. Thermal switch might be faulty if fan is not turning on or it's so blocked up in the system its not circulating enough to warm the thermal switch. Can't wait for next upload i need closure lol😄
except that is fake, the GOLD is what $$$$$$$$$$$$ they are getting paid for the show,LOL they likely say every night before BED I pry we don't find anything until the rating go down & we are cancelled LOL
An air "pocket" isn't going to cause a 117C heatup with an open thermostat, find that hard to believe. My gut says something was thrown into the reservoir and its jammed in the radiator...or crushed hose somewhere that hasn't been spotted yet and its not allowing full circulation.
My daughter in a moment of insanity bought a BMW. It has been in the shop dozens of times for dozens of problems, and the now well memorized message is "that's a common problem with BMW"
@Donalld Allhands I tried to tell her that too, but she fell for the "ultimate driving machine" sales pitch. She wasn't the first and won't be the last to get deceived by that one.
In a old car which us old timers drove, the first thing you did when the car was overheating was check to see if the thermostat was stuck closed and defective.

From 8k subs and a Fiesta ST to an overheating i8 and a mill been here for you growing up, I am so proud! HAHA

@@Samcrac funny watching to Copart videos with you on your webcam and wondering if you knew what you were actually doing because you only had that many subs. Well, however many years later you were right man! Love seeing people make it!
After that Domino's Auction Car his channel blew up! The content is always well thought out!
Me too, all started with the Fiesta..Gooo Sam
Sam, start pulling hoses to see if they stuck something in one of the hoses to block it.
This was pretty much my first thought
Yes, and blow air thru each section of the system to verify no blockage.
I bet on a return hose from radiator being blocked at/near one of easily accesible fittings which are not disconnected during servicing, there will be a golf ball or something like that pushed in, try running tap water through the system and verify manually which hoses get hard and which not, that will tell you place of blockage.
That was my thought, someone has stuck a rag in one of the hoses.
I love that an i8 is being called a supercar... 🤣
What if the radiator was clogged? That's a high possibility.
My thought exactly. Someone could’ve done something dumb like dump stop leak in it and jammed it up
I was thinking the same thing .
Lol. I've done that before.. dump stop leak in it and end up walking.
@@W5ZMB I thought the same. Someone dumped a lot of barr stop leak
Could be since I’ve never seen a good radiator blow out like that when it’s a good one.
Many times BMW’s have a separate thermostat built into the expansion tank. Not sure about the i8, but just an idea.
Really? What models?
Wow didn't think I'd see you here, I watch your stuff all the time haha
Never heard of that in 18 years wrenching lol

Just started watching this as it just hit my feed. I'm an MR2 owner, have been for 28 years, so I have some experience with mid engine cars. Not with BMW's so grain of salt thing. Typically, for MR2's, if the coolant reservoir is bubbling then chances are good either air in the system or head gasket failure. Coolant pressure test and bleed down test are the next go to. Again, I don't work on BMW's at all so still waiting to watch more videos to see if you all figure out what it actually was. Just posting this to see if I'm even close or not. Hope you figured it out so I'm rewarded by watching more videos LOL.
It's so nice to see you including your step-mom in your ad spots. It's really wholesome.
Shoutout to Steven & his dedication to help you out!
You gotta appreciate that and his awesome attitude.
Respect to Steven trying to help and figure out what’s going on
Corey Chaseeee?! Hahaha, perfect stepmom. What a lad..
Many many years ago I had a Ford Capri with a overheating issue. In the end it turned out to be a rubber ball. Someone had removed a hose and placed a kids ball in it and replaced the hose. Lot more to the story but you get the gist.
An old diesel mechanics trick was to place a small ball from a bearing in the fuel line. Small enough to move around in the fuel line. Ran fine at low RPM. As soon as you put a load on it the ball was sucked into a restricted part of the fuel line and shut down the engine. They did this to make you pay the bill for what ever repair you had done. Usually an engine overhaul. Guy would say I need my truck to make the money to pay you. Mechanic would do the ball trick so you would come back to get it fixed. You had to pay up for them to remove the ball. Truck would drive fine without a large load on it. But put a 60,000 lb trailer on it it would go fifty feet without falling flat on its face.
I bet ya can suck a rubber-ball through a radiator-hose XD (modified FMJ quote)
@@larrycosby2010 that's fucking nasty...
if i'd ever found out a guy was doing that to screw me over...

@@depayanmondal Yep, apparently he edited some porn footage into his video.
You spelled ass wrong
@samcrac have you tried using an infra-red scope to see temp differences between coolant supply and return hoses? If there's a huge temp difference in a same hose could be sign of a blockage, same for radiator.
I'm with this guy or girl. You were squeezing the hoses and feeling the temperatures in the last video. Don't forget that simple troubleshooting step.
@@IlliterateSage came here to say this
Yep. I agree. I am thinking it could be a blockage, maybe a deliberate one, in a pipe somewhere. Even more scary, and I hate to even suggest it, is a blockage in the water channels in the block itself. I hope that is pure paranoia.
@@peterj5751 Had a full blockage once - there was no antifreeze in the coolant, and the water was frozen solidly. The thermometer didn't indicate any problems. Of course, with no water circulation, it just measures the temperature of an ice block. The first sign of trouble was that the fan/water pump/generator belt failed (since the water pump was locked, of course).
The car was am E21 316 (note the absence of the "i"). The M10 engine survived (needed a new head gasket, though).
These are the times I miss Click and Clack.

@@fisherh9111 🤣🤣🤣
@@colormesarge so is it his real stepmom or not? I can’t get a straight answer from anyone.
How about bypassing the radiator at the rear junctions and connect to a transparent water tank to see if water is actually circulating?
I absolutely agree with you bmwspeedman.... isolation of problem is the key here... After all its just a machine with some issue with water circulation. If u notice the cooling fan is running at low speed thereby indicating the radiator is not sensing a high temp.... You never know, someone could have stuffed the long radiator hoses with something to sabotage the car.... so isolation of water circulation has to be identified
@@ikhalid1 exactly my point. Could also be clogged water passages in the block, therefore @Samcrac needs to know water is flowing freely in the engine block. The expansion tank boiling but the radiator sensing either warm enough water for low speed or for no fan activation at all suggests blocked water ways.
@@bmwspeedman I waa going to say the same thing. Make sure water can actually flow through everything (with thermostat out).
@@moniack if BMW dealer themselves are suggesting to change the engine, maybe they suspect the same, water passageways blocked within the engine block.
@@bmwspeedman the problem is that in modern dealership shops, they no longer want to waste time with true diagnostics. The advent of the ECU/PCM made old school diagnostics go away. Now they only rely on their computers and what it says goes. Ironically, BMW is notorious for throwing codes. A leaking vacuum line or intake fan will throw misfire codes or o2/cat codes. The car runs fine otherwise. But nowadays the techs (mechanics, they no longer call themselves that) swear by the scanner and the computer (stuff like alldata). The digital FSMs basically will say "replace engine" if you go through a diagnostic tree and yield no results. Same for the transmission.
In the case of this car, there is a possibility that the head is warped but not mixing with the oil. There is a chance a head gasket leaks near an exhaust port and no other part of the engine is compromised but the exhaust smoke feels damp and it overheats since the exhaust fumes are heating up the water. Keep in mind as the sabatoge idea gets explored.
FYI: Sam, it's a contactless infrared thermometer. The laser isn't measuring anything, it's just a pointing stick.
The laser is just a pointer.
The distance-to-spot ratio tells the size of the measured area and the thermometer calculates the average temperature of that area.
It works for surface temperatures, provided you follow the directions. I use mine for car parts, weather measurements, cooking guidelines, and telling whether or not I might have COVID. Just read the directions before use.
wow, how harsh is it to have the mechanic at the dealer start laughing when he sees your car

@@einfelder8262 he overheated, couldn´t be fixed by doctors
what even?
So I used to work for a DAF dealership, they're a European truck brand and are owned by PACCAR, same family as Peterbilt and Kenworth. The MX engine had some terrible issues with o-ring failure, particularly the o-rings that sealed the oil cooler. We used TURCO Plaudit to get the oil out of the coolant system. I think its original purpose was to clean home central heating system pipes. We would do a couple of flushes with it following the o-ring and cooler repair, followed by refilling the system under vacuum with OAT coolant. This might be useful for anyone who has contamination issues in their coolant system, you may not be able to get the exact product but hopefully you can find something similar in your local area. I understand that oil fired central heating isn't as popular in the Americas as it is here in the UK, but maybe your local plumber could help direct you to a similar product.

Those radiators are junk. They are used on numerous vehicles with the plastic cap and plastic bottom. I owned a Camaro that ran the same type of radiator and it ended up leaking between the top plastic cap and the aluminum body of the radiator. If you can purchase an all aluminum radiator without the plastic end caps I would suggest you go with that. I don’t even understand why any manufacturer would use plastic on a cooling system that can build up pressure under hot temps.

On one of the cars I bought from a repo/yard, the previous owner had taken a wad of denim(old blue jeans it looked like) & jammed it into a coolant line so that it would overheat.

I thought it was standard procedure to replace the entire cooling system when you by any used bmw?
Makes me wonder if someone used a leak sealer at some point and gummed it all up. Should be interesting to suspect the old radiator to see what you find.
Looks like scotty was right all along. These bmws are eendless money pits.
You are right, but they are a very fun and comfortable car to drive :)
I have a Volvo and BMW with about same milage and I've had to do about 4500€ (no big repairs) of repairs in the last year on the BMW meanwhile the Volvo only has had oil changes and brake pads done in the last 2-3 years.
It's hit and miss same with all car's, get a poorly maintained 1 and it will be a constant nightmare. I thought my old bmw was a money pit till i purchased a vag motor spent more time in the garage than the bmw ever did. Driving the vag motor there's a constant thought of what's going to break today
He also said that bmws have overly complicated engines, some components while basic and easy to get access to in other vehicle brands take a hell of an effort to get access to in a bmw engine bay. 🤣🤣
@@Nino-bu9mj that's not my experience with bmw. Maybe the access has got a bit less due to now being turbo engines, the 1 & 2 series will be the worst as their tiny cars. Has your mate ever worked on a vag motor ? Their the worst for access to anything. Have to take my front end of to change the rad/ unmount the engine to get enough space to get at the turbo. Subframe off to change the exhaust downpipe, rollbar bushes. People are massively miss guided thinking bmw are that bad when it's actually the vag group who make the more unreliable cars.. it's like the whole bmw drivers never indicate or just pull out on ya, when audi drivers are the worst for that

The last two videos have definitely been your best so far,can't wait for the next
Have you tried to backflush the hoses, especially the ones from the back to the front?
Sam, Just curious, have you checked the coolant for the presence of combustion gasses?
I've never worked on a BMW, but every time I've seen an engine bubble like that into the coolant it has been a blown head gasket, a cracked head, or block.
From my experience, this is a cracked head or just a blown head gasket. The guy who laughed at the problem provided the biggest clue. "Driving around with it overheating". What solved it?
I'm somewhat certain that there is a blockage in the cooling system somewhere near radiator Sam , there is no other sensible reason why its not recovering at all and even blowing the radiator , but anyways excellent content and can't wait to see more content and gives me a lot a information about these cars , the new thermostat and waterpump also may help to a good extent. Thanks for the content and sharing all these experiences and knowledge with us . Awesome , epic channel , keep it up and God bless.
Possibility that the rad had a small leak and someone put an entire can of stop leak pellets or silver seal in the cooling system and it all settled in the rad causing blockage. Seen ut before, small 4cyl with a pinhole leak and put 3 cans of stop leak in and it turns to cement in system. Thermal switch might be faulty if fan is not turning on or it's so blocked up in the system its not circulating enough to warm the thermal switch. Can't wait for next upload i need closure lol😄
Fully agree. Question to me is, whether the battery of the I8 needs to be cooled, too. Might even cause more problems if you give it the "sealant".

Let's take a moment to admire the great job Sam does to transition into sponsors
An air "pocket" isn't going to cause a 117C heatup with an open thermostat, find that hard to believe.
My gut says something was thrown into the reservoir and its jammed in the radiator...or crushed hose somewhere that hasn't been spotted yet and its not allowing full circulation.
in bmw circles their known for air locks which give the same symptoms as blown headgasket there that bad
Oh no, not the corn 🌽 star ⭐️ stepmom again
From my experience with mid engine cars I'd guess either head gasket or a faulty expansion tank cap failing to hold pressure
Use a exhaust emission tester to sniff the bubbles coming out of the expansion tank , if it reads hydrocarbons then head or head gasket is compromised
Hes does that in the follow up video!! Good call!
The radiator was the issue the whole time. It’s plugged up
It makes sense since after pressure testing and the radiator blew up. Maybe they forgot to remove or put a plug on the lower hose.
My daughter in a moment of insanity bought a BMW. It has been in the shop dozens of times for dozens of problems, and the now well memorized message is "that's a common problem with BMW"
@Donalld Allhands I tried to tell her that too, but she fell for the "ultimate driving machine" sales pitch. She wasn't the first and won't be the last to get deceived by that one.
I have watched probably 1000s of our of TH-cam (not to brag) and that has to be one of the greatest sponsor segues I've ever seen.
There's a blockage in radiator or in the lines.
could be a defective radiator... or someone mixed incompatible coolants.
I'm sure the step mom can unblock the hose.
LMFAO “It’s STEP MOM” 🤣🤣
The Cory Chase bit was gold.
In a old car which us old timers drove, the first thing you did when the car was overheating was check to see if the thermostat was stuck closed and defective.
