So ditch the CSF rad ? Was already thinking about replacing the thermostat but others said it would throw a code before going bad. Was replaced 3 years ago with an oe bmw thermostat. Guessing 45-50k miles on it. Was done by previous owner. |
It will absolutely not throw a code unless it's WAY off. We battled a car last week that had beautiful oil temps (190), and it was because the thermostat was stuck open. No codes and coolant temp was way under threshold so it would pass oxygen sensor readiness. After replacing the thermostat oil temp went to 210 and all was good. I'd replace that first |
Copy. I have all the parts, just came in today actually, so I'll go ahead and do it all. Thanks
