Being a New-England based company we see all variations of weather conditions. And we've seen more than a lot of seized coil overs and other metal items that have fallen prey to corrosion and rust. This Winzer Tek Wax is the best defense against corrosion that we have yet to come across. TekWax is a heavy-duty, flexible wax that you spray onto metal surfaces and it forms a durable protective film. It was originally used as a sealant for wheel wells, bodyshells, rocker panels, and chassis panels which makes it ideal for un-coated and exposed metal parts on your car. It has a high-quality matte amber finish that is also slightly tacky to the touch. Another plus is that it can give some components an original OEM appearance. We spray Tech Wax on our coilover threads to keep salt and sand from gumming up the threads and seizing the adjustment collars. We also use it on other exposed metal surfaces that don't have any corrosion protection from their manufacturers (steering hose fittings, even fastners and hardware). The finished surface has an amber (gold-ish) hue that blends in with many other hard parts on the car and it has an overall 'finished' look. TekWax is sold as a 24oz aerosol can. It ships by UPS Ground only. Follow instructions on the can for the best and safest results.

Here are your choices: you can wait for the plastic factory thermostat housing cover to break and cause major overheating. (Even with a new stock cover, it won’t take long.) Or you can install a thoughtfully engineered all-aluminum thermostat housing cover from Active Autowerke and never experience this type of failure again. Currently there is no factory upgraded part to this problem. This is an aluminum extruded part that has all of the openings machine properly to fit like factory; from the mounting bolt holes, the seating of the thermostat to the sealing opening for the ORANGE gasket. Forged to exact factory tolerances, everything fits and this unit is a true easy bolt-on – especially suited for racing or load conditions like heavy traffic, where engine temp can rise rapidly. The housing is guaranteed never to break from overheating or over-tightening, and its CNC machined surface ensures a precise seat.
Unit comes complete with a new ORANGE sealing gasket; a new thermostat is recommended but not included. For hotter climates, a 71 degree thermostat is recommended over the 82 degree unit.
Anything and everything BMW is the mantra at Active Autowerke. Since 1981 they have been serving the BMW community with custom turbocharger kits to a myriad of other innovative and inspiring performance parts.
