[QUOTE="anxious, post: 281563, member: 193"] I guess that you got to open up the engine first to ascertain what is exactly wrong. Based on my limited knowledge,overheating can cause:- i) blown gasket, which means changing the gasket only...of course while you at it you can consider a top overhaul( depending on the car's mileage) ii) cylinder head crack.....you can either change brand new cylinder head or get a recon one...E36 costs RM11k(new) vs RM3k++ (recon), E46 cost dunno iii) worst case scenario is engine block + cylinder head koyak.....then you got to change engine...either new or recon. Any Kuantan forumer that can help Hafizzul here. [/QUOTE]
