[QUOTE="yohannes, post: 558070, member: 24653"] Hey guys, Thanks for actually taking the trouble to post pictures of high and low levels, and to comment on mine. Went back to M-Performance yesterday and first thing when they checked was that my coolant level was low + radiator cap seals were worn. So they filled up with a bottle of BMW coolant and water + replaced the radiator cap for me. Happy that it wasn't a big issue. However, 3-4km into my journey, the temperature rose again. This time, I quickly sent it back and had to leave the car behind for the day. The car had three problems : 1. The radiator was blocked so they sent it for servicing and sort of like reconditioning 2. The radiator spare tank mtg part had to be replaced as there was a crack 3. Thermostat failed They did 1 & 2 for me and I was told that it is not necessary to replace a new thermostat. Took the car back by evening and tried it out for some time. So far so good, even when pushed. As a conclusion, I was quite satisfied with the work & service. 7xx spent on my second third day with the car. And this is just the beginning.... haha =) Btw guys, is it safe to drive without the thermostat? Secondly, now I noticed a new issue. My rpm was stable previously, but now when idling the needle is vibrating slightly. [/QUOTE]
