{"product_id":"aluminum-thermostat-housing","title":"Aluminum Thermostat Housing","description":"The BimmerBum Kitted aluminum thermostat housing is a direct replacement for OE plastic housings that are prone to cracking and coolant leaks.\n\nThis housing serves as the central point for the thermostat, regulating the flow of coolant to and from the engine. It connects the engine to the radiator via hoses, working with the thermostat to maintain the optimal engine operating temperature. The housing may also feature connections for sensors or other cooling system components.\n\nWhile this housing is designed to fit specific BMW models, a customer reported that while it fit their 1999 BMW 323i convertible perfectly, the included rubber gasket\/seal did not fit, requiring a separate purchase. Another customer noted that the casting finish was poor on their unit, leading them to choose a different brand. This product is not compatible with the E46 chassis, which uses an electronically controlled thermostat.","brand":"URO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687130886456,"sku":"11531722531","price":20.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/660186932.jpg?v=1784880683","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/aluminum-thermostat-housing","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
