Great Video. My head car was dead after we fixed it after the over heat. It jumped it, but all it would do was Chugs. Sounds good, but won't turn over to run. We tested the battery and replaced it. any ideas did smell gas when trying to start

I was driving down the road and my car started clicking only when I tried to accelerate… Then I noticed it started getting hot and then it turned off while I was still driving… Do you know what happened?

1 year later. I hear others have used Blue Devil fir blown headgasket. Many say it saved them. Its like Stop Leak but for the head gasket ?

I have a 2002 325i the engine overheated yes the coolest went all over the engine. I know it's not the battery because the engine turns over. I in this car I changed the thermostat, both upper and lower hoses radiator, waterpump, and reservoir but it was not spelling out the water like it is supposed to

OKat So Great Video by the way! Straight and to the point as well as very informative. So i had an issue of overheating but it started like this. i ran over an invisicle cinder block on the freeway going about 70. i felt it i was like WTF. Dented in the radiator into the condensor on the bottom center got 1 pinned into the opther so good it was actually holding in the leak until i pryed it apart looking for a metal grinding sound that was only happening while the car was on and would stop abruptly ehrn turned off. So i figured it was a pulley and not a belt. i think a belt would last a second longer after shutdown. Replaced the radiator, condensor, thermostat. o2b1s1 sensor. And now the drive belt snapping after replacing said mention parts about 5 minutes from the house. Now i think its my starter or the main pully on the engine making the grinding noise that could had also for the snappiing of the belt. that maybe the pulley is at an angle? i swear i did not run the car that long after overheating . like i pulled rtight over... HELP
