Hi,
Yesterday I was going on highway and was cruising around 140-150km/h with 4 people inside the car when suddenly a yellow engine overheat light came on, as I was on my way to pull on the side to check it out, it went red and I lost a lot of power (engine wise), stopped on the side, opened the hood, nothing was leaking. Turned the car back on, checked the hood and the fan was going apeshit retardly fast.
So I went back home this time cruising 30-50km/h so the engine doesnt blow.
The heating doesn't work at all, only cold air comes out.
There's doesn't seem to be any leak.
Lights is off as long as it's cold outside or the car running in my parking.
Fan is very loud.
The engine cooling liquid is at the right level.
What could be the problem? Im thinking about thermostat or water pump but how can I check that out?
Also I need the car tomorrow, can I keep driving it as long as it's cold or I shouldn't?
The car is a 325xi 2006 manual at only 115k
Thanks a lot,
MirelZ
