Take it to someone who knows what they are doing....Your engine is clearly water cooled.

You need the assistance of someone who is more versed in these matters than you are.

The [elderly] m5a2 is water cooled.

The vast majority of the used cooling water exits with the exhaust. There is a telltale tube to indicate a pressurized cooling system. Lack of a stream from the telltale does not necessarily mean it isn't cooling -- it only means that water is not flowing through the telltale. Telltales can clog.

First:

Please DO NOT reply to old threads or hijack existing threads. Old threads of a technical nature are like a library book, Do Not write in them.

1. Old threads should be considered archives and used for reference only. Do not reply to them.

2. Do not take over someone else?s thread (aka hijack) with your own question, even if it is similar. If you have a question that has not been covered to your satisfaction in the archives, it is always best to start a new thread of your own.

3. If you have a question for the original poster (OP) and the thread is over 30 days old, send the OP a PM, he may not even visit the forums any longer, or may not notice your question in the old thread.

4. By starting your own thread, you will receive the maximum number of views by forum helpers that may not even notice your question when it?s posted at the end of someone else?s thread. And those answers will be specific to your particular issue.

In order for us to help you, we need to know the model. Do you have an M5A or is it the M5B?
