Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor P/N:158-1583
Beck/Arnley 158-1000 coolant temperature sensor for the 2000-2006 BMW X5 V8 4.4L, the 2001-2006 X5 6-cylinder 3.0L, the 2002-2003 X5 V8 4.6L, the 2004-2006 X5 V8 4.8L and other vehicles reads the temperature of the engine coolant. Also known as an engine coolant temperature sensor, it sends that reading to the ECU.
A failing sensor can show up as an erratic temperature gauge, hard starting or a check engine light. Before you replace the sensor, rule out low coolant (check the level only with the engine cool) and a loose or damaged connector or wiring.
This coolant temperature sensor also fits the 2000-2003 BMW Z8 V8 5.0L, the 2003 Z8 V8 4.8L and the 1997-2003 BMW 540i V8 4.4L, and it matches OE form, fit and function. If your car is not named here, open the Buyer's Guide tab and check your exact model and engine.
This listing is one coolant temperature sensor, and the vehicle takes one.
