[The_otherM235i]

Hey everyone,

Recently smoked a curb with my driverside front end, I destroyed my bumper but it's alright because i wanted to order a new one anyway,

I have a slight problem with my cooling system, Our M235i's come with an auxiliary cooling radiator in the bottom of our cars right next to the intercooler,
When i hit the curb, I twisted this Radiator and i believe i broke the plastic hose connecting it.

I'll Post up a diagram to help locate the part i'm talking about, I'f you look at part number 14 i broke it right where it connects to the rad, I'm not entirely sure if the rad itself is leaking or if it's this line,


Either way i have to take it all apart, do you guys know if i have to drain all the coolant from the car or can i disconnected this and only lose a little?


Thanks guys!

If you didn't lose a lot of coolant and aren't at high mileage you're probably fine just topping off and running the bleeding procedure.

So found out I completely destroyed the aux radiator, ordered a new one and some coolant and we should be good, just have to bleed the system after.
