    cooling

    HI, on my 2002/ 330I I my coolant was slowly disappearing , yesterday it blew the hose of the bleeder housing . ok I installed new clamp was ok but start to overheat , noticed that upper hose was very hot yet lower hose bit warm ( it could be warm from the engine heat) so it looks like a thermostat? or does the overflow tank has anything to do with?
    I need to fix it today please advise

    Sounds like a trip to ECS is in your future. Definitely sounds like a thermostat. How many miles and has it had any of the other coolant components replaced? If not , you may wanna just do water pump, thermostat and expansion tank while in there.
