AT Thermostat Replacement
 
I changed the AT thermostat on both the X3 and X5 today. Both the expansion tanks cracked within a few weeks of each other but I never replaced the AT thermostat when I changed the tank. Weird how both tanks cracked almost at the same time and both AT thermostats failed?

At least you had no problem figuring on what tools you needed or how to get it done.

yup I am getting worryingly good at it now. Changed the AT thermostat in 10 minutes flat. Took half an hour to do both cars.

Would this being bad cause my heater to not heat up fully and my temp gauge to run on the cold side of the middle?
Or would that most likely be the engine mounted thermostat or waterpump?

Is the gauge currently running on the cold side and the heater not as hot as it should be?
