ok
I have a thread about how my fan broke today. Well i went to the corner store and back with my car watching to make sure it wouldnt over heat and to get gas so i wouldnt run out trying to fix it and on the way back the battery light came on, then i lost power steering, then the car started to overheat,

it got to 3/4 of heat and then i turned the engine off

opened the hood and it was smoking like a bitch. Under the car was a puddle of what i believe to be coolant not oil. So I do not think the engine blew, i think my rad blew. But i will have to wait till light to see what that puddle of stuff came from.

from what i can see know the belt came off. and there was a puddle of oil, and i dont have a fan.

Are there any shops here in guelph? I also do not want to fix this i would like to sell my car as is/ anyone interested??

I don't know of any BMW shops in Guelph as I'm new here myself but on Gordon road where all the construction is there's a shop on the corner with a shitload of Volvo's. You can try there maybe...

look in the front of your engione closest to the windshield. right in the middle of the towers there should be a three pointed thing. check if one of the hoses fell off. it might have broken because of all the years of wear and tear. it's a bitch to put back together in the middle of an ice storm trust me

All the problems are from infront of the engine, not close to the windshield

Yeah, I've used both. I prefer Import Services over Autosparks.

ok . i did post in your other post that it was your water pump while others think it was the fan clutch.
1st you said your fan was wobbly . I suspected that it was the bearing in your water pump that was going .
2nd you have water in the front . i really really doubt it is your rad. your water pump finally went (bearings) so now the pump is sitting in an angle so that all the coolant comes out.
3rd your belt is off now that is an even better indication that water pump went as that belt should fall off and make all those "dummy" lights come on as it is not running the alternator .
you check it out and let me know if my wild guess is right

dont let the shop screw you on anything else that you dont need changing.
