Hey,
I have a 120i F20 2017 model (B48 engine) with 81k km on the clock. It's stated to leak coolant, and I have started replacing the leaking parts.
I have been measuring the coolant temp and it goes as high as 115°C but runs between 100°C and 106°C. Will sometimes hit 113°C for a couple seconds and then drop down again. Coolant is normally around 106°C in traffic.
Is this normal or do I have a problem?
I also sometimes smell coolant, but the coolant level doesn't drop. The car is also not burning coolant. I assume it's from the coolant that leaked that has not been washed away. Can this be true?
Also at what temperature should the engine oil run at? I checked quickly and it runs at around 106°C, but just did a quick check.
Please help as I don't want to lose an engine due to coolant leakage.
