Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Coolant Expansion Tank Bleeder Screw Replacement for BMW E46 E92 E90 E36 E39 Mini Cooper 17111712788 by Michael Lara

time bomb. . . on Coolant Rebuild Kits

Over time, this brass bleed screw will deform the bleed threads. The heat and vibration of the engine will take over and the result will be a leak. Replacing the upper radiator hose is the only solution. Ordered August 12, 2019 for my 2001 BMW 330Ci; replaced the upper radiator hose on October 24, 2021 due to a leaking drain plug. Obviously there's a reason the original bleeder screw is made of plastic that expands and contracts with the hose.
