BMW Thermostats for BMW 3 Series E30 (1984-1991)

Over time, the water pump in BMW vehicles becomes a common point of failure, typically requiring replacement around the 60,000-mile mark. To ensure optimal performance of your vehicle's cooling system, it's also advisable to replace the thermostat during this service. Turner aims to make this maintenance task easier with its all-in-one Water Pump & Thermostat Replacement Kit.

This comprehensive kit includes:

Water Pump - OEM Geba (11519071562) 80°C Thermostat - OEM MAHLE (11531713040) Thermostat Housing - URO Parts (11531730470) Thermostat Housing Gasket - Genuine BMW (11531722692) Antifreeze/Coolant, 1 Gallon - Genuine BMW (82141467704) Opt for this premium kit to ensure a thorough and reliable repair, extending the lifespan of your BMW's cooling system.

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your BMW running smoothly, and the water pump is a critical component that should be serviced every 60,000 miles. To ensure the overall efficiency of your cooling system, it's also recommended to replace the thermostat at the same time. Turner Motorsport has created a streamlined solution with their Water Pump & Thermostat Replacement Kit, making your cooling system upgrade simple and effective.

The thermostat regulates the temperature of your coolant. At a predetermined temperature the thermostat will open to let coolant flow to the radiator and be cooled by airflow or the fan. Over time the thermostat will become stuck open or closed, leading to a variety of issues. A closed thermostat will never allow the coolant to reach the radiator and be cooled. Hot coolant will continue to circulate through the engine and absorb even more heat until boiling and the system overheats. An open thermostat is not as bad but is still not ideal - the coolant is always cool, with the temp needle always reading in the cool range. This tells the ECU to richen the fuel mixture to bring the car up to normal operating temp. So your fuel mileage decreases and the car runs rich.  

Replacing the thermostat is an easy but messy job. This thermostat includes the main o-ring (but a housing gasket may be required). Consider replacing the housing and any associated temp sensors while you're in there. The cooling system will need to be bled after.  

Most of the engines from the mid-1980s through the 1990s use the same thermostat design and they are interchangeable among the different temperatures. This is the 68*C thermostat, at the bottom of the temperature range. It should only be used in racing situations such as when deleting the engine fan. However, keep in mind that BMW spent a lot of time engineering the cooling system to work in all kinds of conditions and changing thermostat temperature is not recommended to fix any failures in the cooling system.
