{"product_id":"thermostat-assembly-12","title":"Thermostat Assembly","description":"The Behr 11537509227 thermostat assembly is a critical component for maintaining your vehicle's optimal engine temperature. As a common wear item, its failure can lead to significant cooling system problems. The two primary failure modes are getting stuck open, which prevents the engine from reaching its proper operating temperature, potentially resulting in poor fuel economy and catalytic converter damage, or sticking closed, which restricts coolant flow and can cause the engine to overheat, leading to severe damage. This assembly comes complete with the necessary gasket for a straightforward installation.\n\nThis thermostat is engineered with a plastic housing and opens at 97°C. The installation process requires specific torque values: 10 Nm for smaller fasteners and 22 Nm for larger ones. It also features a retaining ring for the sensor.\n\nMahle Behr, the manufacturer, is a global leader in automotive components, with half of all automobiles worldwide containing their parts.\n\nThis thermostat assembly is designed to fit various BMW models, including the Z3, 323i, 328i, 528i, 323Ci, 328Ci, and 325Ci, spanning model years from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, and various engine configurations such as M52, M52TU, and M54.","brand":"Behr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687116665144,"sku":"11537509227","price":65.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/661662693.jpg?v=1784880506","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/thermostat-assembly-12","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
