It sounds like you either need a fan delete kit or to check your engine mounts. A weak engine mount could result in a tilt while breaking and could put the fan in contact with your radiator, hence the missing blade. The fans in the e36 tend to gernade off as well, either because of the engine mounts, the fan going wack, or your water pump going bye-bye. That is why I deleted mine, never had overheating problems since. I believe understeer has a nice kit on their site that will get you where you need to be if you want to go that route.

Why not? Their e-shop uses Paypal which calculates the shipping based on location. I don't see an issue with it at all, unless there are some crazy customs or something.

I did not see thermostat on that list. If the car overheats it usualy kills the t-stat.. Try changing that.

E36 Heating problems

Hi..

I need some help.

I have a E36 323i Coupe (m52) and it keeps on overheating.. Ive replaced thermostat, thermostat housing and radiator.. At first when I replaced these parts, both hoses on the radiator were both getting hot but no heat was coming through into the car. I then replaced the heater valve and now the bottom hose on the radiator is cold and top is hot. I am now going to change the water pump.

Is there anything else it could be to save my pride and joy.

thanks
