I recently purchased a 2003 mini s & and im having overheating issues..
I have no Heat the water\ antifreeze seems to be boiling in the overflow tank & im loosing fluid but i dont know where its going.
the car starts fine & warm to the mid mark on the temp gauge, and stay there for about 5 min after starting but at some point somethings happening and in a matter of 1-2 min the temp gauge will spike all the way and you can hear it bubbling\boiling in the overflow..all the while heat never warming up inside the car. I have replaced the thermostat, but nothing changed & doesn't look like any leaking around thermostat housing..im new to minis and just trying to figure this out..
