Frequently Asked Questions
- How can I tell if the thermostat is faulty?
If the temperature gauge drops while driving, the thermostat may be stuck open. If the temperature suddenly rises while stationary, the thermostat may be stuck closed (not opening).
- Will it fit my 320i (6 Cylinder) vehicle?
No, this reference is only for 4-cylinder E36 models with M40/M42 engines. A different product is required for 6-cylinder engines.
