E21, E30General discussion and technical help for 1975-1991 3 series cars.
today as i was going through a drivethrough, i had to sit idle for a little while and by the time i was out. my car had overheated to the top of the meter. what is wrong and what do i need to replace? any ideas?
Check your t-stat and your clutch fan. I'm having the same problem right now when I'm at idle or running in the city. Also check if you have any kind of coolant leak and also check that your water pump is working.
