BMW 3 Series E36 thermostatic valve replacement

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Thermostat

In this video we will see how to change the delicate thermostatic valve of the BMW 3 Series E36. Let's go to disassemble the air filter and the mass air flow sensor first. We should also go to disassemble the radiator (also fixed with screws) in order to access the thermostat. The thermostat is held by some screws that we are going to unscrew and by the radiator pipes that connect it, to remove the relative clamps: mount the new thermostat and reassemble all the components from the radiator and reconnect all the pipes with the clamps. We verify that the engine is now warming up properly and running.
