BMW Engine Coolant Outlet Gasket - Genuine BMW 11531725788

Product Information

An engine coolant flange is a connector or junction point in the cooling system, typically made of metal or reinforced plastic, that attaches hoses or pipes to the engine block or cylinder head. It serves as a pathway for coolant, directing it through various parts of the engine to maintain optimal operating temperature. The flange is usually equipped with gaskets or O-rings to create a tight seal and prevent coolant leaks.

• Coolant Leaks: A worn or cracked coolant flange can lead to visible coolant leaks around the flange area or under the vehicle, especially near the engine. This is often accompanied by a puddle of coolant or dried coolant residue on the flange or hoses
• Overheating Engine: If the coolant flange is damaged and coolant leaks, the coolant level may drop, reducing its ability to cool the engine effectively. This can lead to frequent or sudden overheating, especially on long drives or in hot conditions
• Low Coolant Warning Light: A faulty coolant flange may cause a slow leak, eventually triggering the low coolant warning light on the dashboard, indicating a need for a coolant check or refill

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.
