Hey guys, I took out my new 5 for the first time today (it's apparently done 500 miles since rebuild) and was on my way to the body shop, anyway that aside, after a few minutes the temperature gauge kept rising and rising over a few minutes, and dropping slightly if i coasted the car. Before it got into the red i pulled the car over and there was no fan on at all and the engine was bloody hot.
I have tried bridging the thermostat connection and the fan spins up fine (thanks Adam005), so there is power there... The coolant is clean and new, as is the oil so i have no reason to believe there is a gasket issue. What should i try next? :confused:
Thanks:)
