Just did mine. Symptoms were car running cold on the move and hot at idle. It's a simple enough job but the main reason for posting was to let people know the stat is on offer at ECP for about £26 at the moment. It's a Circoli so a reputable brand.

Hi
I am in the process of collating info on parts - whether good or bad.
Please can you advise in a few months time, after you have had sufficient experience on the part you have used, on its qulaity? Also engine size etc - but this doesn't need your VIN nos etc just enough info so as to be of help identifying the part to the engine you have.
Many Thanks
Brian

For info - Changed mine last year as a precaution whilst changing water pump, viscous fan and coolant. Removed unit was a Mahler/Behr and had done ~25k and was still in good condition and is now in the `spares box'. Replaced like for like and have done ~5k on new one. Bought from bmwmotormec's ebay outlet - £29. HTH
Hi Brian
It's the 1.9 engine. I'll certainly report back if I still have the car in a few months. Initial impressions were completely favourable. Fit was perfect and the cooling issue was fixed immediately.

This is why you change out your thermostat routinely. Plastic is in the engine.
