{"product_id":"80-c-replacement-thermostat","title":"80° C Replacement Thermostat","description":"The Mahle Behr 80° C replacement thermostat, part number 11531466174-62C, is an OE-quality component manufactured in Germany. Its primary function is to regulate the flow of coolant through the engine, ensuring it reaches and maintains its optimal operating temperature for efficiency and performance.\n\nWhen the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed, restricting coolant flow to help the engine warm up faster. Once the coolant reaches the thermostat's specified temperature (80° C in this case), it opens to allow coolant to circulate through the radiator, dissipating heat. Failing to maintain the correct engine temperature can lead to issues such as poor fuel economy, potential catalytic converter damage if stuck open, or severe engine overheating and damage if stuck closed.\n\nThis thermostat is compatible with a wide range of BMW models, including various E30, E32, E34, E36, E46, E53, E60, E65, E70, E71, E83, E84, F15, F16, F25, F26, F39, F48, G01, G05, G06, G07, G29, I01, and X models. Specific fitment details, including year, engine, and submodel, are available and should be verified to ensure proper application. Always install with the 'jiggle pin' bleed valve at the 12 o'clock position when possible.","brand":"BimmerWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687130591544,"sku":"11531466174-62C","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/662153467.jpg?v=1784880680","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/80-c-replacement-thermostat","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
