OT so if not appropriate here please move
2017 x35d X5 BMW ~61K 3.0 turbo diesel Bad engine coolant leak It’s not a drip, drip, drip. Good flow. Not up front so doesn’t appear to be radiator. Near firewall. Anyone have experience with similar?  Thanks, Sean |

BMW notorious for leaking coolant pipes. Often made of plastic - cracks. O-rings get nicked or degraded though yours isn’t that old. Metal retention clips fail or don’t get clipped properly.
No easy answer other than de-trim the belly pans if necessary to figure out where leak is coming from. 2012 x5 35d ~ 140k miles. Like the ride / handling but hate the complexity of the vehicle. Not DIY friendly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
