    I have a 318ci e46 2006, have stripped the engine and now about to rebuild. I have an eager young son of 10 helping and thought it would be a good idea to take the old bolts which I had in order and clean them, so I am now confused as to the replacement of them. I am happy where the 6 M10 long...

    Basically for whatever reason I need to keep topping up the coolant and sometimes I have oil leaks. Its the N42 engine so not a standard 6pot. I think the oil leak is the sump gasket so shouldn't be necessary to fix now. I also had the oil filter housing gasket leak but changed that easy...

On the rear of the CH is a black plastic cover plate, I know it seals part of the cooling system, but there are two seals....is one the cooling channel and the other an oil gallery, or are they both part of the cooling system?

    Update on my 1998 318i saloon. Used a kit to check if head gasket had failed - yes it has gone Changed the thermostat. Put some steel seal into the coolant and its holding coolant OK so far. Reason I did this was the engine is running very well and did not want to disturb it. I am monitoring...

    Hello all, A couple of weeks ago I (drunk on ebay) bought a 2008 320d with apparent head gasket failure. Went to have a look at the car and it was pressurising the coolant but otherwise fine so took it home. As the EGR cooler could feasibly create the same symptoms (and is a common failure)...
