Coolant leak

Asked by Winstonchurch Jan 29, 2020 at 12:04 AM about the 2002 BMW 3 Series 325Ci Coupe RWD

Question type: General

My 325ci has been running hot.  I changed the
water pump,  thermostat, reservoir tank and fan
clutch. And it's still leaking from the bottom of the
reservoir tank. Come to find out I was missing the
screw plug! Lol. However with that said no more
overheating but my heater wont blow hot. Any
suggestions of why? Heater valve maybe?

youtube has a few videos on how to properly bleed an E46. Engine off, cold, heater on max.
