Changing RAD Fliud Question

BMWs4ever · 11-30-2010, 01:26 PM

Can you change your rad fluid by driving up your Rhino ramps or does the car truly need to be raised up in the back as well (level) to get all the fluid out?

I have never changed my rad fluid myself but would like to. However, I would like to know if just driving up the ramps is good enough ????

I would also worry about bleeding the system to make sure I get all the air bubbles out? Is starting the pump for 10 minutes really all there is too it????

Thanks for your advice !!!

go to diy section and they have thread for coolant change. Havent done it on e90's but in theory yes it should be fine on rhino ramps as long as you can access everything.
