It's most likely the plastic fitting on the back of the cylinder head. (It's a very common issue there is a faq on the cooling system failures) Don't drive it or run it at all- these cars blow head gaskets very easily. http://318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16068 __________________ No more ti. | | | 12-03-2011, 11:34 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Miami, FL Posts: 874 | had the same encounter with smoke from under the car and it was the fitting behind the head took me around 15-20mins to replace very easy __________________ Mods: 325is zender spoiler, 3" carbon fiber antenna, 5% tints rear windows, black out grills, Fogged air intake, Ds1 wheels, Rokkor coilovers, bilstein rear shocks, blacked out tails and home made angel eyes | | | 12-04-2011, 01:20 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Fiji Posts: 169 | Thanks guys sorry i may have not been good at explaining. It only ran to about 3/4 on the temp that was on my short drive home parked it since just filled up the coolant to locate the leak. Would you say that i may or could have busted my head gasket having my temp go to 3/4 for about minutes while driving it back? Im in Fiji and the dealer does not stock this and i always have to order is there any suppliers that ship to the PACIFIC / FIJI ? | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
