BMW E39 - Blue radiator tap - yellow fluid?

Jun 11, 2007 1 Replies

I have convinced myself that the yellowy liquid (about 4 litres) I drained from the blue tap at the lower right rear of the radiator was not coolant as the coolant in there is blue and it's full up (just tried to fill it (though I am thinking there could be a blocked hose which is causing the a/c not to work). Any ideas? Please help!

PS - How do you actually drain the coolant then? And where should the yellowy fluid go?



Is yours fitted with an onboard toilet? :-)
