Hi all as you all know I'm new on this great forum and loads of great advice from great members , and was wondering if you would like to share a picture of your pride and joy . lets say a picture of your BMW 2002 outside on the street. i will begin but i haven't a street as i live in the country side.

Hi mate I had the same problem my temp went to 2pm . I Then flushed the rad out using a hose pipe in the rad and left it run for 20mins until the water was clean as could be and now my engine runs at 3pm to the temp gauge maybe you have a air block and need to get them out. Adam

Hi all just a update on my BMW 2002 , well as you know that i had a problem with my temp gauge going to 2pm , yesterday i fully flushed the rad put all back together and now she runs lovely the temp in now reads 3pm thanks all for the advice Adam

What help is reqd mate ? Adam

car running at 2pm a little hot , new everything 2005 , heater in car works lovely . and car runs excellent no probs there adam

On the cast is stamped 75c i haven't got a thermometer to measure how hot your hot water is at. I Just boiled the kettle to it stopped then put the thermostat in the bowl of hot water and the valve opened maybe i will just buy a new thermostat at 71c will this be better or i wonder if i have a bad rad cap? Adam

hi i haven't a book as yet as still waiting fir it though the post. could you send me that picture will be most grateful PS: i have just done the test using 2 Bowls of water 1 x hot water 1 x cold water , when i put the thermostat from cold to very hot at 80c it opens very well and lets water though it. put back in cold water and the valve then shuts letting no water though it. is this a good thermostat . Adam

I Have now taken off the thermostat and now ready to check it how do i or how to check if it is not working as it should. Adam

88ºC. I've measured between 86º-90ºC (~186º-190ºF) at the rad filler opening and this location very closely reflects the temp as reported by the calibrated temp sensor for my EFI system that is located next to the stock gauge sender in the coolant neck on the head. My dash temp gauge stays in a narrow range less than a needle's just above or below 3 o'clock. This is with the stock nominal 80ºC thermostat and I would regard these direct measurements and gauge behaviour as being optimal and the way BMW intended. Listen to Curt (except about electric fans*). The lower temp thermostats are a band-aid and can actually be bad for your motor. For some special situations they make sense but street-driven non-turbo '02s aren't those situations. *I run an electric fan only (12" "aux" fan from a 320i) and have had no problems with inadequate cooling, even on rare 36C summer days. In fact, a properly-sized electric fan will move more air than the engine driven fan would at idle because it spins about 3x times as fast. It may not flow as much air as the engine-driven fan would at over 3k rpm, but by then the airflow from the road speed alone should be larger than either kind of fan. A possible situation where a good electric fan might not be enough is towing something heavy up a long hill very slowly where the engine is heavily loaded and the air speed is low. I don't think that scenario happens to many 2002s. To be fair, I know Curt was only warning about the sizing of the electric fan and was not really saying they are bad in principle. regards, Zenon Always first check the engine for it settings as being RICH and then lean out so it sounds OK. Then measure the temp and confirm your settings. 1] The cheapest way of measuring the engine temperature (also the one least consistent) is to put a little fluid spit (Yes from your mouth) on the engine head. When it stays for longer as 5 seconds the engine temp is to low. Change your carburator to a leaner setting as soon as possible. When it stays for 3-5 seconds the engine temp is OK and around 100° Celsius. When it evaporate in less then 3 seconds the engine temp is to hot. Change your carburator to a richer setting as soon as possible. whats your thoughts on the above adam

Hi me again silly me what temp is a normal at running.. ADz

excellent sounds good. how do you use a meat thermometer and where is the point i check and what should the temp be on the reading Adam

Thanks members for all yr advice and help. i have just looked at the history of my car on the old invoices , the last time the thermostat was changed was back in 2003year with a 75 degrees (OE) thermostat so maybe that is now old and not working as it should , i have now ordered a new 71 degrees thermostat and hopefully that will do the job. i will keep you informed. PS: What is the difference between the 75 degrees to the 71 degrees thermostat Adam

Hi all sorry for being a pain , but as you know that my temp gauge reads 2pm/230pm when driving around town and when driving at high speeds temp goes to just a little over the middle point it will never go under the middle or stay in the middle? is there away of checking the temp from the rad as to see if the water is at a normal temp . hope you understand what i mean thanks all again Adam 1st picture is when driving around town 2nd picture driving at high speed

Hi Have you the diagram for the thermostat removal and refit Adam And Many Thanks My Bmw is 1975 2002 model

I think it's a 3 speeder. I drove one once that chirped the tires in 2nd. John Its a 3 speed 1 ,2 , D Adam

Hi Have you the diagram for the thermostat removal and refit Adam And Many Thanks
