Detailed Description

Use the Vemo V20-72-0441 when replacing a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor on BMW 550i, 650i, 750i, M5, M6, X5, X6, and select Mini Cooper applications. It also covers additional Land Rover Freelander and Range Rover listings in the provided fitment data. Accurate coolant temperature input helps the engine control system manage fueling, warm-up strategy, and cooling fan operation based on real operating conditions.

Compatible With 1998-2017 BMW and Mini applications listed in the fitment table, including radiator hose and radiator coolant hose locations. This part number, V20-72-0441, is a practical OE-style replacement for service work where the original sensor uses a 2-pin connector and sealing interface.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a failed coolant temperature sensor that triggers incorrect temperature readings
• Restoring proper engine management input for BMW and Mini cooling systems
• Addressing cooling fan behavior caused by inaccurate coolant temperature data
• Correcting hard-start, rich-running, or temperature-related drivability concerns tied to sensor faults
• Repairing leaks or poor sealing at the radiator hose sensor location

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, sensor location, and hose routing before installation. This sensor uses a 2-pin connection and is listed for radiator hose, radiator coolant hose, and related cooling system positions depending on the vehicle. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s year, make, model, and cooling system layout before service. The V20-72-0441 should be installed with the correct sealing surface and a secure electrical connection.

Quality Assurance

Vemo VEMO cooling system sensors are cataloged for European vehicle service applications with attention to fitment details such as connector type and physical dimensions. The V20-72-0441 is listed with broad BMW and Mini coverage, including 2017 BMW 550i GT xDrive, 650i, M6, X5, X6, and 2014-2016 Mini Cooper applications, along with earlier BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, Z4, and Land Rover listings in the provided data.
