I had a brand new mahle one with the connector wired in reverse for constant. Kept blowing a fuse. Returned it for a replacement and worked fine.
I’ve installed Borg Wagner thermostats and those always failed until I installed a Mahle one which never failed. For some reason any other brand will get stuck open and the engine will never get up to temp.
I used Mahle, but I got lucky I got the German-made one (afaik now most are made in Italy). It was NOS so I expect the electrical heater (to open early) to be defect. It's been 3 years without issue though.
I used oem bmw coolant and a mahle thermostat.
Mahle is an OEM supplier and is on stock in Amazon.
Mahle is an OE supplier for bmw, go for it
Thermostat and temp sensor were just replaced with OE Mahle/Behr. P0128 showed up after car didn’t get up to temp. Heat is slightly affected until reaches operating temp.
Hatte auch schon ein Mahle Thermostat das kurz nach eimbau defekt war. Dannach ein Originales von BMW rein und seit dem wi3der keine Probleme.
Mahle is the OE replacement for the thermostat, the Chrysler logo is on the part but sanded down. Autozone sells them with PT# TI23695 I just replaced mine last weekend.
I’ve been using Germany-made Mahle thermostat for years. Now it throws a code that the heater doesn’t work (so it won’t open electrically, but mechanically it is working just fine), but no leaks.
