Great, thanks for the tips. It is a 156 and seller has confirmed the part inc. housing, thermostat and sensor. Hoping for some warmer driving shortly and no more coolant issues. Part cost £85 in the end.Yes the Tank has the Thermostat inside the housing but its very important that You need to check which Engine you have in the car ie is it a 156 or 200 judging by your pic its not a R I have the 200 GT with engine code EP6CDTX & only one type of tank will fit this car &there appear to be many for the BMW engines I paid £38 .99 on Ebay & it took them 2 attempts to send the correct tank hence you need the year/ model & Engine code etc but if you send the seller that info for they will sort it for you its just a matter of matching the Parts
You were spot on Pedro! New part not matching old one despite reg entered. Seems my 2014, 1.6 156 THP GT petrol has the 4 pin connector/single sensor cable opposed to the 2 pin/2 sensor cable. And I want to avoid the extra cable workaround. Where do I find the Engine code etc. Any tips on beat sellers in the UK for accuracy of parts/best database. My mechanic has already stripped and reconnected once as wrong part provided.Yes the Tank has the Thermostat inside the housing but its very important that You need to check which Engine you have in the car ie is it a 156 or 200 judging by your pic its not a R I have the 200 GT with engine code EP6CDTX & only one type of tank will fit this car &there appear to be many for the BMW engines I paid £38 .99 on Ebay & it took them 2 attempts to send the correct tank hence you need the year/ model & Engine code etc but if you send the seller that info for they will sort it for you its just a matter of matching the Parts
I don't think you should have a problem as once you reconnect the plug in you just wipe the code out if any show up out in the ECU & all should be OK just check engine reaches normal temp & on the gauge then happy daysThanks both!
Jobe0074, this is exactly what my mechanic is highlighting. Has asked that I try and get a like-4-like part but have checked 4 outlets (2 Peugeot) and the housing just seems to have been modified (possibly the upgrade that Pedro refers to) so I will need a harness to reroute the sensors. Perhaps the provided part was correct however, concern is around messing around with the ECU. Sorry, I'm paraphrasing - Thoughts?
