Product Details

Gates Electric Heater Control Valve EHV106 is engineered for vehicles that use electrically controlled coolant routing to manage passenger compartment heat. In BMW applications, this valve helps direct coolant through the heater core so the HVAC system can respond to temperature settings accurately. It also reflects the broader role of electric coolant valves in modern thermal management systems, where flow control supports both cabin comfort and vehicle cooling strategy.

This part cross-references Genuine 64118369805 for the same application. It is a direct-fit option for BMW 323i, 328i, 325i, 330i, 325xi, 330xi, 325Ci, 330Ci, X3, 525i, and 530i applications listed below.

Common Symptoms It May Address

• Inconsistent cabin heat output
