325i 1990 died after pumping up the heat

korort · Today, 04:56 AM

Hi! So the past few days before it died I noticed that the car was running a bit hotter than usual. Never overheating but just between the halfway more and the 3/4 Mark. So while I was driving I noticed that it was hitting the 3/4 Mark and decided to crank up the heat (was told that could cool down the car). I did that and noticed that the thermostat was dropping but then suddenly the car just died on me. And it wouldn't start. There seem to be power as the hazard light works but I just can't get it to start.

Thank you for all the help in advance
