N62 4.8is thermostat swap from 105 to 90c problem

[wpoll]

Not going to get in the middle of this but I have to say, assuming the N62 thermostat is like any other "old school" thermostat isn't quite right... read this before commenting.

For those of you that subscribe to the school of "TLDNR" - this is the critical bit...

"The principle mechanical design of the characteristic map thermostat corresponds to that of a conventional thermostat. However, a heating element is additionally integrated in the expansion element (wax element)."

I'm with CW and have never heard of anyone breaking the code on the DME and calibrating that value to send the signal to the thermostat from 113C to 90C on the N62.

I have recalibrated my temperature gauge hex code to read actual values so if you are running around with a 40C buffer in your gauge to show 75C to 115C as high noon on your gauge, you really don't know what your temperatures actually are without some sort of scanner plugged in or running the hidden menu displaying the coolant temperature. My buffer is 10C but mine is a M54, you may need to adjust yours accordingly.

Nice to see you making friends on here. You can take your comment about morbidly obese people in America and shove it right up your röv
