I had a setup kind of like you are thinking about. I had an iPhone X that I was no longer using after moving over to Android. I used a SIM card for a tablet plan so I could still use it for data (apps for CarPlay, iMessage, etc.) and I used a low profile 90 degree USB cable which kept the...
you generally want glycol mixtures above 25 percent. below that, bacteria will not be killed. at very low levels (say 5 percent-ish) the coolant acts as food for bacteria
50/50. When low, I add more premix. I’m lazy and it’s easy.
Keep your tire pressure down, bleed or flush your brake fluid often, and do your oil & diff fluid changes a bit more often. That’s what you hear about & notice most.
The Antifreeze question aside the less coolant you use below 50/50 mix the more corrosion you risk. Straight water with or without water wetter is the most thermally effective solution and ok for race engines where corrosion isn't really a major concern but on a road car it's another thing.

My check engine light went on about a week or so ago. I ran the code and it shows p0118. I ordered part number 89422-WAA02 and replaced it. Temperature gauge still fluctuating from low, normal, to hot. No coolant leak and coolant levels are normal. Is there another part I need? I have a 2023...
im turbo swapped. EFR 8474. I was thinking maybe my turbo seals are toast but under boost (34psi) nothing turbo responds and hits like a freight, getting off the throttle after a pull nothing. But soon as I come to a stop it’s smoking like a chimney for a good bit. If the light is a long red...
...were completed so far at ~5000, 10000, 15000 and recently 20000. An alignment was also done when I fitted the wheels. I also had a lowcoolant message come on the way to work and posted about it on this forum and went to the dealership first. The dealership didn't find any leaks and topped...
Just had a lowcoolant msg a couple months ago myself, seems like it may eventually just need topping off. In my case there was no residue around the caps but the main tank was pretty low. I just filled back up with bmw ht-12 coolant (mixed of course). It was around 20k miles for me as well
As long as there are no overheating issues and the coolant level in the header tank remains stable for a given cold engine temperature then you can be pretty confident the system is correctly bled. I have in the past had to monitor coolant levels on engines carefully and it's important to get a...
Okay so these procedures worked but how do I know if I should repeat the procedure to try and flush out more air? The car did tell me the process was complete though after I ran it and it told me I needed to add more coolant a couple of times so I did that and ran the process again until it...
It’s been a while, but I’ like 95% sure it’s the exact same except the last step. Instead of putting foot on brake and hitting start button. Just hit start button twice. So ignition on/engine off.
the low temp side is pretty easy though. .Last few times I just filled it with engine running...

shit, i forgot the AC compressor is belt driven so it cant be that. thought maybe it was the auxiliary water pump as well. Also my coolant has been acting a bit funny as well (low-temp 3/4th of an inch above the MAX line) so i decided to do the built in bleed procedure thinking there might be...
