BMW Thermostats for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

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.

When it comes time to replace your thermostat, be sure you have everything you need. This kit includes everything you need to replace your thermostat, including the thermostat.

Kit includes:

• Thermostat with gasket
• Thermostat mounting hardware
• 1 liter of coolant

This waterpump fits the following BMWs: 
1992-1999 E36 3 series - 323is, 323ic, 325i, 325is, 325ic, 328i, 328ic, M3 3.0 (S50/US), M3 3.2 (S52) 

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.  

Mishimoto makes coolant tanks, radiators and much more for your Mini/BMW. Established in 2003 their commitment to absolute quality in the aftermarket world is evident through the quality and performance enhancing products they offer.
