Thermostat housing, dealer only?

[Rtaylor2208]

Is the thermostat housing dealer only, not getting anything listed on GSF, ECP or CP4L for my 325i cab.

Typically having finally got it all back together its got a tiny leak from the T piece shaped pipe that goes between the expansion tank, heater matrix and thermostat housing. The connection on the housing is pretty rusty and is where its leaking so I think a new one would be the best place to start.

It may well be but the last few orders from Cotswolds have raped my bank account. If all else fails it'll be another order going in, if I have to go with them a new T piece pipe might as well be ordered as well.

One of the fraggers may have a sound one if the price of new is high?

I have an m20 one here with a free bleed scre thats dirty but servicable.

You've passed your exams so celebrate

Worst celebration ever by buying a thermostat housing.

B7 thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind till and get back to you once I know how much a new one is.

I have just bought one from my local BMW Dealer part No B11.53.1.730.470 £39.51 plus V.A.T. for my 325i sport 1989

Thats just the back part only. The complete thing is a bit more as listed as 2 parts so if your bleed screw is stuck fast as well, you are in for a front section as well.

the front bit is about a tenner. Most are blocked up with a lot of corrosion
