...engine bay. Its got 31k miles and I've never touched or topped off any coolant since I got it from the dealership. Model year 2025. No lowcoolant warning. Not sure if its coolant residue or something else. Rest of the engine bay looks clean, nothing on the belt or the splash...
Hey everyone,
I have a 2023 gr supra b58 stock tune (with a locked ecu), JB4 (i rarely load a map that is not stock), catless armytrix downpipe w/ cat simulator, mst v2 intake, fuel-it flex fuel sensor (but i've been only running 91 for last 6k miles) with about 23k miles
Recently, my supra...
...I had to add oil after 2000 miles since an oil change. I did change the coolant cap (the larger one) and it seems to have helped. I was getting white smoke from the exhaust, lowcoolant etc.
So, had to have it towed to a mechanic, have googled and read a bunch on the interwebz. Anyone any...
The green is colour is actory fill and the magenta is retail BMW coolant. They changed the retail coolant colour to match the factory fill some time ago. If you only need a few hundred ML for a one off top up then you can just use some plain deminerised water. The dilution % will be neither here...
A couple days ago I got a lowcoolant warning when starting my 2022 Supra 3.0. I looked in the manual and it said to use BMW LC 18 coolant.
When I looked in the reservoir the coolant looked green. I read on other posts here that said to use HT-12. I couldnt find any HT-12 or even LC-18...
Hi everyone.
I haven’t been as active in the forum lately.
I’ve been having two issues with the car for a week now.
First one, the power supply warning appeared, out of nowhere. It says that the battery can’t be charged and I need to request road slide assistance.
About a month ago I installed...
We have seen this leak on the Waterpumps on various Supra and other B58 Gen2 vehicles. Usually only need to address if you are noticing LowCoolant issues. If you are then it's best to replace/refresh the Waterpump and associated seals. One of the lower left bolts near the Crank pulley is hard...
Had my pump replaced under warranty earlier this year...same symptoms as you, lowcoolant notice, could see the dried fluid around the pump area, not unlike your photo.
Both reservoir caps are dry and have no coolant residue. I’ve heard of others mention that the fix for “lowcoolant” is a new cap, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here
Curious to know if anyone else has had this problem since I haven't seen many others mention it.
Apparently water pump leaks aren't uncommon on the B58, according to a close friend who's a technician at BMW.
I've gotten the 'coolantlow' warning on iDrive twice before. Once at around 15k miles...
Went to drive the car after it sat for a week while I was on vacation. Got a message about Low/No Coolant.
Main reservoir was bone dry, so spent most of the morning trying to track down HT-12 and a new cap when my nearest BMW dealer is over an hour away.
Took a quick pic on the test drive...
I get a lowcoolant warning when I first start the engine. I want to check coolant level but can’t get either cap off. I didn’t want to force it and break it. Should I twist harder?
1.5 days of crushed and cut fingers, I ended up recruiting my wife to place a couple of bolts (her tiny hands fit in small spaces)… but I finally did it. And added the Charge pipe that had been on a box for 4 months.
@razorlab was right. Vacuum bleeding the low temp coolant system is easy.
I...
My oil has gone a quart in 1k miles. Also the coolant 3 times topped off in the same time . Hopefully I get to find it's something fairly simple and not too expensive 🤷
Making the list of skills and tools I need to install the WT manifold as I’m planning to continue running this car on the track during the summer months in the swamp.
Once I make the decision will get all the stuff. I’m leaning towards being a useful mod in my situation.
plan is to buy a...
...I think). After driving in the hot heat here in Thailand for more than 45 mins to an hour the AC just gets progressively less cold. Anyone experience this and fix this issue? I'm not getting any error codes for the AC system or for lowcoolant. Car has 7k miles on it and it's a 2024 3.0 6MT.
