Thanks for help rstutoratosu my thermostat has only got one outlet and electric connection . On the video it shows a 2 ended thermostat mine has one if you look it up for 2.0 e85 2007 you will see what I mean. Looking at the thermostat on mine it looks like it’s upside down not on side of engine.
I will end up taking it to an Indy to let them see. Thank for all your help.
This is my thermostat for 2.0 se Z4.
I don’t seem to be able to locate it on my z.
Help please. The help I’ve had from you guys is for 6 cylinder models which I appreciate.
Did mine early this year. A pain to get to, 8mm female hex bolts and good luck getting in there! Clamped all the hoses, and left the cap on so only lost about a litre of fluid, obviously bled the system a few times after refill.
To explain where it is, it's easier to remove the under tray and it's nestled in the o/s side of the engine as you look up. You'll see it by following the hose to the bottom of the radiator.
Just done mine, not too bad to get to with some long extensions, took it for a run and for the first time the temp needle pointed straight up. Hopefully all sorted now. Thanks for your help.
