BMW 330xi coolant loss issue due to replacement of plastic supply and return lines on engine block on BMW 330xi

Problem overview

Some BMW 330xi owners report experiencing coolant loss due to various components, including the water pump, radiator, expansion tank, damaged hoses, or plastic heater supply pipes behind the oil filter housing. These plastic heater supply pipes are particularly prone to leaks, which can lead to slow coolant seepage. In cases where coolant is being lost without visible leaks, owners may need to consider the possibility of coolant escaping within the engine, potentially indicating a head gasket issue. It is crucial for owners to identify and address coolant leaks promptly to avoid costly engine repairs down the line. Additionally, some owners find that coolant loss may stem from a faulty sensor, which can often be resolved by simply replacing the expansion reservoir that houses the sensor. Timely inspections and repairs are essential for maintaining the cooling system and preventing engine damage.
