BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Engine
Operation: Motor overheating explanation

This video shows us how to avoid engine overheating. If your engine suffers the phenomenon of overheating, the causes can be many; first of all we go to identify the water level first in the overflow tank and then directly from the radiator cap if water is present we can find the problem elsewhere. Check that the thermostat is working properly and that there are no leaks from the water pump. In the worst case scenario, we may have burned the cylinder head causing the water in the engine to burn. To check this, let's see if there is any mush in the radiator, a symptom of a burned head.
