Jamaican Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Got a pre purchase inspection, 2 mins in to test drive coolant light came on and the car was leaking coolant. The owner kept a botthe of coolant in the boot, the mechanic then removed the rad cap and there were bubbles in the rad. He then said that he suspected the head gasket was blown or blowing. I do not think he was a BMW specalist, but what do you guys think? Here is apic of the oil cap. Should i take a punt on it? Also when moving into reverse there was a clunk (auto) What do you guys think? The car was 1.3k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkynut Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 It's hard to tell about the head gasket without seeing the car. It could just have a coolant leak and the bubbles are the system bleeding. My auto doesn't clonk when any gear is selected. I'd leave that one alone.
