<div style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin-top:8px;">
Always verify part numbers using your VIN before ordering. Cooling-system configurations may vary by model, engine, production date, and market.
</div>

== Expansion Tank ==

<div style="border:1px solid #c7d3e0;border-left:5px solid #1c69d4;border-radius:6px;background:#fafcff;padding:15px;margin:12px 0;">

=== Expansion Tank Kit ===

'''Kit number:''' <code>17111723520KIT</code>

The expansion tank is one of the most important preventive-maintenance items in the E36 cooling system. The plastic becomes brittle with age and will eventually fail.

When replacing the tank, inspect or replace:

* Expansion tank
* Upper expansion-tank hose
* Coolant-level sensor, if faulty
* Expansion-tank cap
* Radiator mounting clips and supports

'''Recommendation:''' Do not wait for visible cracking or leaking before replacing a very old tank.

</div>

== Water Pump ==

<div style="border:1px solid #c7d3e0;border-left:5px solid #1c69d4;border-radius:6px;background:#fafcff;padding:15px;margin:12px 0;">

'''Part number:''' <code>11517527799</code>

The Stewart high-performance water pump is a high-quality but expensive upgrade. It is best suited for owners who plan to keep their E36 for a long time or want a premium cooling-system setup.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;margin-top:12px;"

|-
| Standard OE-quality pump
| Moderate
| Normal street use and budget-conscious maintenance
|-
| Stewart high-performance pump
| High
| Long-term ownership, upgraded cooling systems, or demanding use
|}

</div>

== Thermostat and Housing ==

<div style="border:1px solid #c7d3e0;border-left:5px solid #1c69d4;border-radius:6px;background:#fafcff;padding:15px;margin:12px 0;">

=== Thermostat Housing ===

'''Housing part number:''' <code>11531722531</code>

An aluminum thermostat housing is a practical upgrade over an aging plastic housing.

'''Important:''' The gasket supplied with some aftermarket housings may be lower quality. Use an OE-quality seal.

'''OE housing seal:''' <code>11531740437</code>

Very little or no RTV should be necessary when the sealing surfaces and gasket are in good condition.

=== Thermostat Options ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Temperature
! Part number
! Notes
|-
| 88°C
| <code>11537511580</code>
| Lower-temperature thermostat option

| <code>11537511083</code>
| Higher-temperature thermostat option
|-
| Thermostat gasket
| <code>11531265084</code>
| Replace whenever the thermostat is removed
|}

Confirm the correct thermostat temperature for your engine and original vehicle configuration.

</div>

== Radiator ==

<div style="border:1px solid #c7d3e0;border-left:5px solid #1c69d4;border-radius:6px;background:#fafcff;padding:15px;margin:12px 0;">

'''Listed part number:''' <code>17111469179</code>

'''Nissens''' is generally the more budget-friendly radiator choice while still being produced by a recognized manufacturer.

'''Behr/Mahle''' radiators are typically more expensive and are another good OE-style option.

<div style="background:#fff5e6;border-left:4px solid #d97706;padding:11px 13px;margin-top:12px;">
'''Aluminum radiators:''' A full-aluminum radiator is usually unnecessary for a normal street-driven E36. Installation may be more involved, and the upgrade is generally more useful for track or heavily modified vehicles.
</div>

</div>

== Expansion Tank Caps ==

<div style="border:1px solid #c7d3e0;border-left:5px solid #1c69d4;border-radius:6px;background:#fafcff;padding:15px;margin:12px 0;">

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Cap rating
! Part number
! Notes
|-
| 1.4 bar
| <code>17137639023</code>
| Lower-pressure genuine BMW cap option
|-
| 2.0 bar
| <code>17117639022</code>
| Standard higher-pressure genuine BMW cap option
|}

Use the pressure rating specified for your vehicle and cooling-system configuration.

</div>

== Upper Radiator Mounts ==

<div style="border:1px solid #c7d3e0;border-left:5px solid #1c69d4;border-radius:6px;background:#fafcff;padding:15px;margin:12px 0;">

'''Part number:''' <code>17201719414</code>

The upper radiator mounts hold the retaining clips in position and prevent the radiator from moving.

Check that:

* Both mounts are installed
* The clips are fully seated
* The rubber supports are not damaged
* The radiator does not move excessively

</div>

== Heater Hoses ==

The heater hoses are located toward the rear of the engine and can be difficult to access. Replace any hose that is swollen, cracked, oil-soaked, hardened, or excessively soft.

<div style="text-align:center;margin:16px 0;">

== Installation Notes ==

* Allow the engine to cool completely before opening the cooling system.
* Clean all gasket and hose sealing surfaces before reassembly.
* Do not overtighten plastic fittings or hose connections.
* Use BMW-compatible coolant mixed with distilled water.
* Bleed the cooling system thoroughly after completing repairs.
* Check for leaks after the first full heat cycle.
* Recheck the coolant level once the engine has completely cooled.

'''Code readers''' can read and clear diagnostic fault codes on the BMW E36. Access to individual control modules depends on the reader and diagnostic connection used.

== Diagnostic connections ==
The round diagnostic connector in the engine bay is used to access modules such as ABS and airbags with a compatible reader and a 20-pin adapter. The interior OBD-II port, where fitted, provides engine diagnostic access rather than access to all modules.

== Code readers ==

=== Creator C310 ===
[[File:c310.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Creator C310 diagnostic reader.]]

The '''Creator C310''' is an inexpensive option for the E36. E36 Repair reports reasonably accurate fault descriptions and quick code clearing.

'''Compatibility note:''' E36 Repair cautions that this reader may only work for engine codes on the E36. ABS and other module access should not be assumed.

=== Foxwell NT530 ===
[[File:NT530-1.webp|thumb|right|220px|Foxwell NT530 diagnostic reader.]]

The '''Foxwell NT530''' connects to the round engine-bay diagnostic connector using a compatible 20-pin adapter.

E36 Repair reports access to engine, ABS, airbag, and other E36 control modules, including reading and clearing fault codes.

=== Foxwell NT710 ===

== 20-pin diagnostic adapter ==
[[File:61Ks+JYwopL._AC_SX679_.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Foxwell 20-pin diagnostic adapter.]]

A compatible '''20-pin adapter''' connects the reader to the round diagnostic connector in the engine bay.

This connection is needed to access ABS, airbag, and other modules with a compatible reader. The interior OBD-II port does not provide the same module access.
