The reservoir tank location messes with it. I put mine on the side that side too and car started over heating. I thought it was the same problem but I switched it back and it was fine again

Jimmy there is a special way you have to bleed the systems with the MISHIMOTO overflows tank. You cannot depend on it to bleed with the bleed screw as it would with the OEM setup. Pull off the overflow hose / return line to the overflow tank and let it just pour out into a 2L bottle and bubble out that way. The internals of the MISHI tank do not allow for the bleed screw to be utilized as the overflow hose is blocked internally on the tank. Trust me, I had one and went through the SAME headache! Like so he can see!

Test you thermostat in a pot of hot water on the stove with an accurate thermometer to tell temp...see what temp it opens up at...if at all...and if it opens when it is suppose to...you have another issue...eliminate possibilities...rather then going through the hassles of removing and replacing thermostats to see if they work... I remember getting 2 bad ones in a row from the parts store for my old 6.2 diesel truck...

[@Chocolate_dragon]

I was just going to post this same advice. The old 160 degree thermostats in GM engines. I got so many bad ones over the years.

[@claytoncars42069]

tip for the future: boil your thermostat in water for 5 minutes before installing to keep it from sticking

[@evaldasrudneckis1570]

Jimmy your rear lights are lighting as a Fog lights, you messed some where with wiring

[@X1XBlackbirdX1X]

No he didn’t, they’re supposed to do that

[@brettyh1]

Buy an airlift tool. You can vacuum test your cooling system for leaks and then fill up the whole engine when you're done by displacing the lack of air in the system with coolant. Then you just need to warm it up to temp with a funnel at the highest point to bleed the rest of the air out.

[@dustinbornhoft2313]

Airlift ftw.

[@diiviinemedia]

Nick Tank Adams is too small honestly. If his garage was as big as Jimmy’s then I’d reconsider

[@albertrosario4581]

Try bleeding the cooling system with your heat on - there’s usually a valve for the heater core that closes when the heat is off. Turning your heat on will open this valve thus completely bleeding your cooling system. Good luck!

[@zerohourdrift]

I know you hate it, but the purple valve cover pops hard af in the sun! Looks killer man!

[@shawnjacobi8717]

On my e36 I can only get it to bleed by 4 inches off the ground with the bleed screw open rev it to like 2500 rpms I think the water pump does not push an nuff coolant at idle.

[@TheLilDwarf]

i think too that his problem is simply the bleeding.. some cars are simply a pain in the ass to bleed

Finally!!! So happy for you!

[@pkuudsk9927]

Once I had 6 bad tstas in a row Stant brand after doing a head gasket , I though I had screwed up. As a last resort I got a oem tstat problem solved , as the parts store had none left in stock . Now I test them all and 1 in 7 is junk out of the box it takes less time to test them in boiling water than doing the job over and over. I feel your pain.

Jimmy what you gotta do is throw the thermostat in a pot of water and make sure it opens before it boils before installing

[@knockoutcustoms7477]

You just need a new thermostat rated for lower temps

[@earnestbunbury2103]

Stock is around 195ºf so 225ºf indicates a problem that a lower thermo won't solve.

[@andrewpastorelli1861]

I know with the thermostat on my 1.8t in my audi, I had to take top bolt out of the thermostat housing, then open a gap up to let the air bleed out of the space there so the thermostat could open.

[@mikeyg4297]

Get a vacuum fill coolant tool saves a ton of time also check waterpump impeller isnt coming loose when hot!!!!

[@vteckid120]

Easy way to determine if the thermostat is opening or not is to check if the lower coolant hose is cold and the top one is hot

[@Nick_Tank]

YES!!!!!! Drew and B Hall race!!!

[@DomsE36Garage]

Yeah you need to run flat stock across the top of the sliders and as close to the trans tunnel as possible to bolt your seat in from there. Basically squeeze it as close to the trans tunnel as you can get it. Awesome car btw, and Right Hand Drive FTW

[@Mick89lee]

Get a forge 007P recirculating dump valve for the 20vt Brian, fitted one to mine and make a hell of a difference! Once it’s mapped and you know what boots pressure you’re running you get different rated springs for the valve 👌🏼

[@driftdad5659]

BMW e36 1st bleeding rule is to put the car leaning in a hill. 2nd is to help manualy pump the hoses with hand presure. Repeat for a loooooong time..cuz its just an simple m52.

[@josephskeie]

I made 18psi on my ko3 on my a4 and it ripped! that's got a lot more in it

[@spaquet4990]

I had a MkIV gti with the 1.8t, depending on which 1.8T engine you have (I had AWP) you should be making 9-12 pounds of boost stock. If you're making 5, that usually means you're in limp mode. Easiest way to recreate it is to unplug the MAF. At stage 2 boost is around 21-24 depending on the car. If that thing rips now, it's going to be insane.

[@angusmcgeady]

Thank you jimmy you saved from the endless cycle of tiktok

[@SideKickNz]

Same thing happened to me when i put my 1J vvti in my 180,went through two faulty new thermostats, i of course was thinking the worst the whole time

[@TheMrtMts]

It can be a total pain to get the air pockets out. I’ve had some luck with my m50 engines if I jack the front crazy up, then put he heater on full hot, blasting and then revving the shit out of the engine without the coolant cap on. It will make a mess, but a coolant filling funnel will help with that

[@MRTuning704]

So at work we had a machine that would suck all the coolant and air out of the system It would suck the hoses flat every bit of air out of the system And then it pumps fresh coolant in to make sure no air gets back into the system You need one it’s time

whenever I bleed a e36s coolant. I always jack up the front right tire... its a must... will be tricky for you because your coolant tank is in the other side... i would still lift the front end though.

[@Theoriginalmichaelmiachel]

nvm looks like you did that :)

[@rl650603]

You guys need to invest in a air lift tool for coolant systems! Saves a ton of time and eliminates the need to let the system bleed out. Look into it, trust me!

[@ardennielsen3761]

the thermostat opens with water pressure, if your heater core doesn't have a restriction on the outlet you will have problems with the engine overheating. going to burn out the front half of the engine, could also lead to cracking the front of the block/cylinder head.

[@syndical]

Firts thing to check is if your rad fans blow's hot air or cold air , if the air is cold , your thermostat is not opening !, and check if the coolant libe after the thermostat is hard or soft without pressure.

[@bradynelson6163]

Hey Jimmy! I own a mk4 golf 1.8t myself! Brad should be making anywhere from 10-12 psi on a stock ecu! 5-7 would be considered fault mode for it! Most common thing people do is go atmospheric and realize they're in fault mode because they're tuned for a dv. So maybe start there! Should definetly make more boost!

I had the same issue when i put a Mishimoto rad in my SRT4 Neon. I bleed the system a bunch of times, tried different and lower temp thermostats and later even put the wires to a toggle switch but it just didn't like to stay cold after that rad swap.
