Checking the coolant level (BMW 3 Series E36)

            0

The coolant level should be checked regularly - approximately every four weeks, and certainly before every long trip.

For topping up - even in warm weather - use only a mixture of antifreeze concentrate and clean, lime-free water.

Note: To continue driving, you can also, especially in summer, fill it with clean water. However, at the earliest opportunity, you should adjust the concentration of the composition with antifreeze.


Note: To continue driving, you can also, especially in summer, fill it with clean water. However,…

  • When the engine is cold (coolant temperature is about +20°C), the coolant level should be at the mark on the expansion tank or slightly higher.
  • To avoid engine damage, add cold coolant to a cold engine.

Caution: When the engine is hot, open the cap carefully. Risk of injury! The cooling system is under pressure! Open the cap only when the coolant temperature is below +60°C. When opening, place a rag on the cap.

  • When opening the lid, first unscrew it a little to release the pressure. Then completely unscrew and remove the lid.
  • If the coolant level drops rapidly, perform an external inspection for leaks.
