M50 non vanos overheating problem
Weird overheating, I even pulled the thermostat and changed the waterpump, bleed the circuit.
If the car is idling, no problem, the electrical fan comes on and the needle is at 12H00.
As soon as I hit the track or drive teh car hard, the car starts overheating until the coolant boils and overflows... from somewhere gushing fluid everywhere...
Major engine problem? Time to build a dedicated race car?
Worse was teh loss of power as soon as I hit the straight line in 4th gear, as soon as I press the accelerator fully, the car started to overheat bad...
The top hose was very hot and very tight.
Thanks.
