What will happen when radiator has a crack?
When a radiator has a crack, it can lead to coolant leakage. This can cause the engine to overheat, leading to potential damage if not addressed promptly. It is important to repair or replace the radiator to prevent further issues with the vehicle's cooling system.
Why does the upper radiator hose have no pressure?
Under normal circumstances it will have some pressure just less than the bottom hose. The bottom hose is directly pressurized by the water pump while the upper hose acts as a return hose to keep the water flowing through the engine block. If there is no pressure you could be low on radiator fluid (water/anti freeze mixed) or have a thermostat stuck open.
Does an intercooler replace a radiator?
No, an intercooler does not replace a radiator. While both help cool air or fluid in a vehicle, they serve different purposes. The intercooler cools compressed air from the turbocharger or supercharger before it enters the engine, while the radiator cools the engine coolant to prevent overheating.
What is convection transfer of energy?
Convection transfer of energy is the process by which heat is transferred through a fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of the fluid itself. Hot fluid rises and cold fluid sinks, creating a continuous circulation that transfers heat. This method of energy transfer is common in liquids and gases, such as in the heating of a room using a radiator.
What happens if you put too much coolant in the radiator?
The extra coolant will simply be pushed into the reservoir once the coolant heats up enough. It is also possible that (especially if there is already some fluid in the reservoir) that it will be pushed out of the reservoir unto the ground. Radiator fluid (antifreeze) is toxic to animals (it tastes sweet and so animals may be attracted to it). Please clean up or spray down with plenty of water any coolant that leaks or pours on the ground.

Where is the thermostat on a 1997 m3?
If you open the hood and look at the front of the engine you should see two radiator hose converging into a black plastic piece that on either side seems to be bent slightly down. This is the thermostat housing. To replace your thermostat with no issues you must first put something under your car to catch radiator fluid. Then disconnect the hoses from either side of the housing( this is where the catch can comes in handy). Now remove the 4 or 5 10mm bolts holding the thermostat hosing on. Once removed the thermostat will be on your left. Be sure to also replace the rubber gasket as the housing will not seal correctly if not replaced.

What does it mean when the left side of your radiator was smoking and it damaged the radiator cap when you took it off there was a lot of coolant in the radiator?
Your water pump might be broken or your thermostat might need to be replaced. You obviously don't have a leak so somehow the fluid isn't moving through the engine. If the thermostat is broken it will not let fluid into the engine and then the engine will overheat and the radiator will release smoke.
