How to change your inline thermostats.
pudding:
No worries.
Yeah I also have a spare inline thermostat :grin:
The main one is easy once the alternator is off. It's a great opportunity to check / replace the serpentine belt, alternator clutch pulley and the electric after-run water pump :happy2:

Does anyone have a part number for the main thermostat? Thanks

Which is a bit of a bugger as it means I'm going to have to delve into the depths and change the main thermostat. :doh: if anyone needs a genuine inline thermostat drop me a pm £20 posted. By the way mines an 06 manual BWA.

Bit of a thread from the dead but I’ve just had exactly the same thing. Went to change the inline down the front of the engine and there isn’t one! 55 plate manual so I’m pretty confused. Did changing the main stat solve it for you?

Yes changing the main thermostat cured the problem completely but I did also change both temp sensors at the same time as well just to be on the safe side. Car hits 90 degrees and stays there regardless after about 3 miles.

Great stuff, fingers crossed then.
