Engine Overheating
Hi everyone,
I drive a 2011 535xi with around 90k miles. I recently did OFHG and Valve cover around 800-1k miles ago. Today I driving and I got a strange sound from the engine bay it was like a fan sound very muffled but loud when I opened the bay. I received the yellow alert saying temp hot drive moderate so I stopped pulled over added some coolant and then started driving then I started again and received a yellow then red saying pull over and was in limp mode. When I popped the hood the fan was going crazy I could feel air flying in.This was all within a 15 min drive. Does anyone know what this could be? Let me know if any more details are needed. I am not experienced and would love any advice. Thank you all!!!! Also I have a video of the sound but I’m not sure how to upload it if anyone has advice there. |

Probably tstat or pump failure. Pull codes.

FCP Euro does have a kit that includes a WP and a Tstat with some Coolant. You can also do a water pump test, This is a very common and known issue on all 5ers, Plenty of info here on the Forum, be sure to check for leaks and also check your Coolant Expansion tank and all hoses.

I don't know if you need both, but if you're replacing one I would replace the other. They're right beside each other, both require draining coolant and making a mess, and either could be responsible for overheating. |
