Well I started to do my coolant change I undid the bolt at the bottom of the
radiator and drained I only got 1 gal out I thought thats not much flushed the rest out with hose.
refilled then blead.(first time for me) steam pissed out then coolant dribbling
into the fan SQUEAK SQUEAK now I'm freaking out!!!!the bubbles stoped.
Done same again&again
then drove around the block and blead for the last time.
reread how to onhttp://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/maintenance/engine/Coolant%20replacement.htm
and found out that I missed a bolt!!
"4. Move the pan under the under the block drain plug (located at the rear of the engine, on the exhaust side below cylinder #6). Spray with WD40 then remove 19mm drain plug. I think you should be prepared because it is going to be messy."
That's were the rest of the water must be!!!
I can't find the bolt all I can see Is two lines running into the trans pan (I think) that has a bolt that big but I don't want to touch it in case it's the wrong one.
Can anyone help out a poor dumbass ,thanks for reading this long post.
