[QUOTE="masCh, post: 9413, member: 964"] Was driving slowly one day while making a u-turn I caught a glimpse of the temperature and it was red. Immediately I shutdown the engine and opened the hood. To my horror the coolant tank was empty.. due to hose bocor. So I refilled the tank, it was holding, I drove home. Had to stop 2-3 times (not far from home) to refill the tank, it was always at 3/4 ~100C when I stopped the engine and refilled again. After getting the hose done, I'm having doubts about the engine. How do I know if there's a crack in the engine? I also about 1 week prior saw this E36 320i 6-potter halfcut. If I have to change to a new engine, I'd rather get this. It can be done right? Will JPJ allow it? I hope my current engine can still hold for another year or two to start saving.. [/QUOTE]
