Just ordered one of these :D since getting my car back i've noticed its sits at around 70 no matter how long a drive and if i let it idle after driving for a min or 2 will hit 90.. soon as a set off goes back to 70ish i presume these are meant to sit smack bang in the middle like all bmw's?
There guide to fit anywhere? don't have a clue where they even are?

open bonnet and to ur right down side of manifold you,ll see a plug going into the green temp sender, take plug off and theres a plastic clip u pull towards you then take temp sender out..replace temp sender put clip back in and plug the plug back on top :smiley:
hope this helps mate sure theres a link some where with pics aswell
EDIT- see link above :wink:
-
also make sure you dont lose the o-ring
-
I couldn't get the plastic clip back on, took about 20 minutes! :grin:
-
all depends how well seated the o-ring is.. also took me 25mins to do on a A4..
