NTK EF0083 coolant temperature sensor for the 2007-2013 BMW 328i 6-cylinder 3.0L, the 2012-2016 328i 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles monitors engine coolant temperature and reports it to the engine computer.
- Analog signal to the ECM that supports air/fuel ratio, cooling fan and temperature gauge operation
- Thermal conductive grease inside the brass housing increases sensor response time
- Thread sealant or o-ring installed where applicable
- Mounting clip(s) included where applicable
Quick facts
- Part: NTK EF0083 coolant temperature sensor
- Also called: engine coolant temperature sensor
- Fits: the 2007-2013 BMW 328i 6-cylinder 3.0L, the 2012-2016 328i 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles
- Condition: New
An engine coolant temperature sensor may be located on the cylinder head, engine block, thermostat housing or intake manifold. A check engine light, a temperature gauge that reads erratically or not at all, or a cooling fan that runs erratically or not at all can mean the sensor is failing. These signs alone do not prove the sensor is the problem, since a low coolant level can cause similar symptoms.
Fits
It is listed for a wide range of BMW models, among them the 2008-2013 BMW M3 V8 4.0L and the 2012-2018 BMW 320i 4-cylinder 2.0L. Wires, probe length and thermistor placement match OE. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine. This listing is one sensor, and the 2008-2013 BMW M3 V8 4.0L takes one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the NTK EF0083 the BMW 328i coolant temperature sensor for a 2007-2013 6-cylinder 3.0L?
Yes. NTK EF0083 is listed for the 2007-2013 BMW 328i 6-cylinder 3.0L and the 2012-2016 328i 4-cylinder 2.0L. For other BMW models, open the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Is the housing on this NTK coolant temperature sensor made of brass?
Yes. The housing is brass, with thermal conductive grease inside it to increase the sensor's response time.
What can a failing coolant temperature sensor do to the temperature gauge and cooling fan?
A failing sensor can make the temperature gauge or the cooling fan work erratically or not at all, and it can turn on the check engine light.
Does this coolant temperature sensor come with thread sealant or an o-ring?
Thread sealant or an o-ring is installed where applicable on the NTK EF0083. Mounting clip(s) are also included where applicable.
Is TS10270 an interchange number for the NTK EF0083?
Yes. TS10270 is one of the numbers that cross to the NTK EF0083 coolant temperature sensor; the rest are on the Interchange line.
