    New Automatic 325i trans rad spewing coolant

    So im on my 2nd radiator. First ebay rad leaked. Just replaced with autocraft and doesnt leak out the sides.
    But it wont stop leaking at the plastic retainer that holds the jug, the inlet that flows coolant from the radiator to the trans cooler. I used new o ring. Still leaks. Its the only spotthat leaks.
    Nobody would recertify these machines after somebody screwed with them without any visibility into what they did.

    HONK! HONK! Clown car coming through!

    Aftermarket parts will do that sometimes, what brand are you using? Maybe the prongs that limit how far the cooler fits into the mount are too long.

    Gave away my BMWs, driving a VW and an Audi now.

    Installing aftermarket cooling system parts is strictly verboten! Now you see why I write that sentence. I’m afraid all you have done is waste your money and your time. Hopefully you haven’t overheated the engine. Go to www.realoem.com and enter the last 7 characters of the car’s vehicle identification number. Hit enter and bookmark the page. Find the part numbers and buy quality original equipment parts from FCPEuro or ECSTuning.
