How to Check Coolant/Water Temperatures on Your BMW F Series | F30 330d | The Carbon Connection |4K
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Older BMW's like the E46 came with water temperature gauges and then certain E90's without one.
In the F30 3 series there is an oil temperature gauge but how do you check your coolant or water temperature?
By accessing the hidden menu! This is how it's done.
This will come in handy for the F22, F21 and F20 2 series and 1 series models since they don't have the oil temperature gauge at all for pre lci cars.
The process should be the same across all F series BMW's.

Cool vid. Thumbs up. Is it possible to check/adjust the braking parameters at the screen?

Thanks for watching! From my understanding that may require coding or has to be done at a dealer.
Having issues and I successfully unlocked the hidden menu. Oil temp on normal drive peaks around 115c, however the coolant temperature is at -128 degrees, not getting a reading and my coolant temp on instr. cluster is not getting a reading. Any idea what a fix could be? Would sincerely appreciate your thoughts! GREAT VIDEO it was super helpful.

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. My guess would be that you may have a faulty temperature sensor. If suggest getting a mechanic to check it out or see if it shows up as a fault using a code reading tool. Are you in South Africa?
Nice video can you tell me whats the stable coolant temp of bmw 2013 320i

The engines have variable MAP controlled thermostats, so coolant temperature varies depending on the mode the ECU is in. Range is from 80C - 111C (176F - 231F ) "Normal" is around 105C
Can you see the hidden menu while engine is running?

Yes. If you start your engine while you are in the hidden menu it will remain on the dash till you exit it turn the ignition off.
Tried this on my m135i 64 plate. Put numbers in hold the button in and it just puts me back to the menu again

That's strange. Try putting in the numbers and not pressing in again. See if that unlocks?
How come your check engine light doesn’t come on when ignition is on?

Older gen cars like the e46 used to have them if I remember correctly. No idea why it changed.

Hi. As far as I know there has to be the switch on the side of the dash which is visible when the door is open.
