I did a full cooing system refresh soon after that and haven't seen it above 120ºc anywhere since.
What exactly did you do to your cooling system?
Eg. did you refresh with OE parts or aftermarket?
Just used OE parts, as the previous system had lasted 80,000 miles and I thought I might as well put all new parts on whilst the system was drained.
We replaced the water pump even though it looked fine as it’d already been paid for and it just meant everything was on the same schedule (have got the old one with my spares somewhere.
Nice one!
Only reason I asked as I reckon that I’ll still be the owner when my M will have 160,000+ miles on it.
