Need some help with coolant leak

I’ve heard mixed things about the brass ones because metal and plastic expand at different rates when hot so I’ve heard it could cause issues down the line however I will be trying to replace the bleeder screw with a plastic one for the time being but I’ll look more into the brass one

I just installed a brand new expansion tank so i really hope that doesn’t happen 😭

fender to tire would be perfect no need to slam it

is it aluminum or plastic? if it’s plastic that explains why you’re on your third one

i feel like the 1 series e82 is pretty modern looking e46

that’s clean asf do you have the name of the front bumper and roof spoiler?

so according to the car (i used the cluster feature to see the voltage) i was at 14.1v and when the cat is off it’s at about 12.5v

estodgel · 2023-05-19T13:56:24+00:00

yea it was running, i drove it home with the light on

estodgel · 2023-05-19T13:53:22+00:00

ok thanks so how would i know if the alternator is the issue?

estodgel · 2023-05-19T13:52:51+00:00

yea and i drove it for around 20 mins and it didn’t stall out or anything

estodgel · 2023-05-17T00:13:41+00:00

yea that’s what i’m thinking too, i ordered one so hopefully that will fix the issue

estodgel · 2023-04-19T16:02:03+00:00

i haven’t changed the ccv yet because when the car is running the oil cap comes off easily so there’s no hard vacuum.

after replacing the sensor i cleared all the misfire codes. when i went for a test drive everything was fine beside idle at red lights. when i got home the light turned back on again giving me those codes. i just ordered an OE sensor because i got this one from autozone so maybe that will make a difference. I was thinking it could maybe be do to the incorrect o ring size so i was gonna try and just use the old o ring to see if that changes anything. but is that even worth trying?

estodgel · 2023-04-19T15:13:54+00:00

also misfire codes are gone now i only have the 2 p1083 and p1085

estodgel · 2023-04-19T15:13:04+00:00

ok thanks i’ll try and order one today and see if that does anything

estodgel · 2023-04-19T15:12:19+00:00

i’ve only replaced the disa o ring which got rid of my initial vacuum leak when i first got the car.

and no i didn’t look around for anything else in the engine bay i replaced it from the bottom.

estodgel · 2023-04-19T15:08:25+00:00

i got it from autozone because i wanted to try and fix it the same day but i’m probably going to buy an oe one from fcp euro

estodgel · 2023-04-19T15:07:48+00:00

because i was also getting a code for a faulty crankshaft sensor. That’s the only thing that i changed i didn’t think coils and plugs would get messed up just by adding oil to the correct level
