Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Switch P/N:201-1522
Help keep an accurate temperature reading on your dash with the Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Switch 201-1718. This temperature sending switch relays water temperature information to the dash instrument gauge, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement on many BMW models, among them the 1992-1995 BMW 318i, 1992-1995 BMW 318is and 1995 BMW 318ti. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
Signs the original switch may need replacing include an erratic, stuck, or inaccurate temperature gauge. If a failed sending switch is the cause, this unit replaces it — diagnose the reading first, since the wiring or the gauge itself can produce similar symptoms.
