Post nr. 1


When a 323 has overheating problems, the auxillery fan cluth is often the solution, I took this and assumed it would be the same for the 320i, as i searched for a new fan clutch for my 320i i learned that it didn't have one. What could it be?

Electric Fan in front of the radiator or behind, look and see what you have in there.

...or thermostat, or plugged up radiator, or head gasket.

I'd look at the thermostat first. Look for coolant leaks as well- a pressure test set will help. Water pump won't usually just fail but it's possible- we've seen a rash of plastic impeller water pumps from late model VW's and BMW's. I doubt you have one in your M10.
