Hi There

Brilliant site you have here.

I have a 1994 318is Coupe. I have a problem where, when driving the coolant temp is at 12, but as soon as i stop in traffic it starts to rise rapidly. As soon as I start to drive or keep the revs at 2000rpm it goes down again. Also the heaters inside the car are constantly cold, it used to blow a little warm then go cold, then warm again, then cold, but now its just cold.

I have been told to try bleeding the system first as it could be an air lock or similar. I will do this but do you think this could be thermostat and/or waterpump and is it worth replacing them or could this be head gasket? I hope not :/

Thanks
Jamie

if it cools off when moving, this means airflow is helping the engine cool off. First check operation of your cooling fans. If gthe fans are working normally you may have a faulty water pump.
