11517789014 BMW TERMOSTATS

A thermostat is basically a valve that regulates the engine’s temperature. It controls the flow of coolant – that’s the stuff that keeps your engine from overheating – to the radiator. When the engine is cold, it restricts coolant flow, letting the engine warm up quickly. Once it reaches the right temperature, it opens up and allows coolant to circulate, keeping everything stable. It’s a pretty simple idea, but critical. Think of it like this, the thermostat sits between the engine and the radiator. The engine makes heat, a lot of it. The thermostat decides when to send some of that heat to the radiator to be cooled down. If it’s working right, your engine stays at a consistent operating temperature. It’s part of the cooling system, which is a big loop that keeps everything running smoothly. A failing thermostat can cause a lot of trouble. If it gets stuck closed, your engine will overheat, potentially causing serious damage. You’ll notice if that happens, usually with a temperature gauge going into the red and steam coming from under the hood. If it gets stuck open, the engine will run too cool, which can reduce fuel efficiency and wear out engine components faster. It won't cause immediate catastrophic failure, but it's definitely something you want to address. We carry a good selection of thermostats, and you can often find what you need at Fixparts Online, too.
