The cooling system in your BMW is vital to protecting your vehicle's engine and ensuring a long lifespan. The job of the cooling system is to regulate the temperature of the engine and prevent it from overheating. It also helps to protect against metal to metal contact, which can be damaging.
With a system so important to the health of your engine, keeping it in good condition at all times is vital. If you do suspect a problem with your vehicle's cooling system or a coolant leak, it is important to have it addressed and repaired as quickly as possible.
Here are some of the signs that can indicate your BMW needs a cooling system repair:
- Engine is overheating
- Steam coming from under the hood
- Low coolant levels
- Coolant leak
- Decreased fuel efficiency
- High reading on temperature gauge
- White exhaust smoke
