1989 535i - >400,000km - have owned this car since Summer 2006
First and foremost there is NO overheating problem with the AC off.
- Aux. fan runs perfectly when the AC is on - aux. fan resistor replaced 1 yr ago
- Main engine fan runs perfect when the AC is on
- New Behr rad and BMW blue coolant - both done in 2006 <9,000km ago
- Water pump and T-Stat - do not know the history of these two parts
- Temperature gauge in sitting at 2 o'clock, not in the red zone though
- City driving; backs off a wee bit on the highway
So no problem with AC off, somewhat of a problem with AC on.
Any suggestions - have I overlooked something? Something I need to live with?
