BMW Thermostat Housing Gasket - Reinz 11531748047

Product Information

The engine coolant thermostat housing is the component that houses the thermostat, which regulates the flow of coolant to and from the engine. The thermostat housing connects the engine to the radiator via hoses and helps control the engine’s operating temperature by opening and closing based on coolant temperature. In some vehicles, the thermostat housing also has additional connections for sensors or other cooling system components.

• Coolant Leaks: A common sign of a failing thermostat housing is a coolant leak. This can happen if the housing becomes cracked, or corroded, or if the gasket that seals the housing fails.
• Engine Overheating: If the thermostat housing is damaged or the thermostat inside it is stuck in the closed position, it can prevent coolant from circulating properly through the engine.
• Erratic Temperature Readings: A malfunctioning thermostat or housing can cause the engine’s temperature to fluctuate. You may notice that the temperature gauge on the dashboard moves unpredictably, indicating that the coolant flow is not being properly regulated.

About Reinz

Founded by Hugo Reinz in 1920, Reinz has been known for the manufacturing of Automotive gaskets for over 90 years. For almost a century Reinz has provided gaskets and sealing products for both auto manufacturers and as an aftermarket solution for car enthusiasts. Their full catalog features over 15,000 different products, providing a great selection for excellent value. Way back in 1962 Reinz became the (OEM) original equipment manufacturer for the prestigious Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen car companies, a strong partnership that still continues to this day. The company continues to innovate and stay well ahead of the curve. For example, Reinz stopped using asbestos in their gaskets 12 years before it was banned in Germany in 1993. Reinz performs because every part they manufacture meets OEM standards – meaning you're getting great value that you can believe in. Many brands and models use sealing solutions from Reinz. In 1993 Reinx became a partner to the American company, Dana, to form the largest manufactures of components for automobile and commercial vehicles. The Gasket segment of Dana was Victor at the time ahich was then merged with Reinz to form the brand name of "Victor Reinz".
