Owner balik kampung and wanted to go back home south but had to change his plan to fly back south next day.2001 E46 328 - perghhh powerful car... stock condition, even the sport rims<img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa124/fujitsubogiken/1328OH.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />IssuesSecondary Thermostat jammed causing the expansion tank to burst.<img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa124/fujitsubogiken/2328OH.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The culprit was the secondary Thermostat under the expansion tank<img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa124/fujitsubogiken/5328OH.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Noticed that the radiator was in bad condition, leaking too. The car had red color coolant. Don't want to say what brand lah which we suspect, later kena saman in court. It is said that some coolant especially the brand with red color coolant is hard on aluminium radiators. So I think better use BMW coolant fo BWMs la.Due to overheat, one of the water hose over expanded (bengkak) and torn. Luckily only 1 water hose. If the whole set... ribu bang...<img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa124/fujitsubogiken/6328OH.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa124/fujitsubogiken/7328OH.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />New radiator<img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa124/fujitsubogiken/8328OH.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Things changed.1 water hose, secondary thermostat, expansion tank, coolant, radiator and radiator cap.So guys, do check your coolant usage and change your secondary thermostat if it is already a few years old.Hope the sharing helps.planta</p></blockquote><p></p>
