    Excellent video. Whenever I had a overheating BMW or Renault to work on, I always checked for head gasket damage before I stripped it down!

      Thank you! That's a smart approach. Head gasket issues can indeed cause serious problems, so it makes sense to check that early on.

    I had a bilge pump in a boat that seemed to be failing intermittently, but on bench testing it was able to pump water fine. The diagnostic test was to scope current draw, where the bad wave pattern was unmistakable. All thought of a bad ground or voltage drop on supply lines went right out the window.

      sounds like you went through quite a diagnostic journey with that bilge pump! Sometimes, those intermittent issues can be the trickiest to pin down. Bench testing is definitely a smart move-it can often reveal issues that aren't apparent in real-world conditions. It's fascinating how scoping the current draw led you straight to the culprit, bypassing other potential suspects like bad grounds or voltage drops. Thanks for sharing your troubleshooting experience-it's a great reminder of how important thorough testing and analysis can be in solving tricky problems!"

      Thanks! I hear you. Dealing with German cars can be like trying to teach a cat to fetch - confusing and likely to leave you scratching your head!

    Everything on a BMW is a PITA! The water pump will explode when it detects aftermarket antifreeze 😅

      That's BMW's way of saying, 'No aftermarket allowed! Stick to the expensive stuff or be prepared lol
