Product Details

The Motorad Integrated Housing Thermostat line is built for applications that require the thermostat and housing to work as a single service part. Motorad 468-213 uses a copper case and wax compound for responsive temperature changes in the coolant, helping maintain stable engine operating temperature. The housing design follows OE specifications for proper fitment on select BMW and Land Rover cooling systems, including 1999-2003 BMW 540i, 2000-2003 BMW X5, 2003 BMW Z8, 1999-2001 BMW 740i, 1999-2001 BMW 740iL, and 2003-2006 Land Rover Range Rover.

This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 902-819 and Stant 14612 for the same application. Motorad 468-213 is a direct-fit style replacement for vehicles that require a 221F thermostat housing assembly with an integrated seal and OE-style configuration.
