i have a ’96 328is. in one of the comments below, you mentioned that
thermostats are cheap parts. what about the radiator or the water pump? are
those parts pretty cheap as well or more costly? do you know where i can
find this info online? my car is currently overheating and using a lot of
water/coolant. so i have to pour water into the radiator or water pump
thing (sorry, don’t know much about cars). it is fine if i drive it short
distances but if i drive it longer distances or just get stuck in traffic,
i’m screwed because it overheats which i know can lead to a cracked head
gasket (right?) if it overheats often enough. and i know that THAT would be
a very expensive to fix. anyways, i don’t know if my problem is that i have
a leak OR if my thermostat or water pump is broken which is causing the
overheating? any help would be appreciated. thanks :)

hi great video mate but you didn’t need to take fan off as if you use 1/4
rachet with small extension you can take housing bolts off easy and replace
thermostate
