BMW cooling systems run under pressure and heat, and over time their plastic components become brittle and crack. A coolant leak can go from a small drip to an overheating engine quickly — and overheating a BMW can mean serious, expensive damage. We find and fix the leak in Chattanooga before it threatens your engine.

Many BMW cooling parts — the expansion (overflow) tank, water pump, thermostat housing, and various hoses — are made of plastic that becomes brittle with heat cycling and cracks. The electric water pump is also a known wear item. Because these failures often happen suddenly, catching a small leak early prevents an overheating event.

1. Pressure test of the cooling system to locate the leak
2. Inspection of the tank, pump, thermostat, hoses, and housings
3. Replacement of the failed components with quality parts
4. Bleed and test to remove air and confirm proper operation
