Water / Oil Temperature Sensor - Most 2000-2015 BMWs

This temp sensor is used to send coolant or oil temp data back to the engine computer. The ECU uses this data to set cooling system performance, as well as fuel and ignition mapping. A bad sensor will send incorrect data back to the ECU and will result in poor engine performance and worse fuel economy. There should also be a corresponding fault code and check engine light or you might notice erratic gauge readings.

This sensor is used on many BMWs. It functions as both a water temp sensor (in a coolant hose, thermostat housing, or cylinder head) or as an oil temp sensor (in oil filter housing, engine block) depending on model and needs. A new seal ring is included.
