One other thing you can do to get a good level is also run the self bleeding procedure for the charge air cooling system as well. It basically runs the electric pump for approx 8 min, forcing all of the air out of the system if there is any in there. That procedure can be seen here: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...eck/1VnYEaDgul

This is what mine looks like (2018 M3 with 6,000 miles):
Does anyone know why it leaks? Is there a part failing somehow. This issue seemed to have come out of left field with suddenly a bunch of people reporting it. |

Checked for the first time. Haven't driven it in about 5 days. My car sits on a very slight incline. Level was near the bottom of the measurement or first/second ridge. Temps in the 50s to 60s.

Anyone try EOS charge air cooler? Looks like pretty good construction and price.

On another note, the test for this is: Have your car idle/do a few pulls and touch the charge air cooler, is it cold? You're good. Is it burning hot? Yours is leaking.

A small hand mirror and a flashlight works just fine or just take a picture with your phone. That's what I did.

I think I saw your post during a cursory search after these issues kept popping up. We’re there any issues with your engine or was replacing the IC all that was needed?

They got the billet cooler with cast air tanks at a more normal price

So I put in some distilled water to the appropriate level yesterday at 530pm and this morning at 930 before heading to the dealer, it was low again.
Dropped it off at service so hopefully they will be able to figure it all out. Fingers crossed! |

They'll figure it out, hope you're covered under warranty otherwise that's a 2k repair.

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but has anyone yet identified the root cause of this issue yet?
If fluid level is low or tank is dry, where are people finding the source of the leak(s)? I don't want to throw parts at it, and to be quite honest, I want to retain my OEM components. Thanks, y'all.
