This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 32270) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings
• Intermittent or unstable temperature gauge behavior
• Faulty temperature signal to the engine management system
• Hard starting or drivability concerns related to temperature input
• Replacement of a worn or leaking coolant temperature sender

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread size, connector style, and OE number before installation. This sender uses an M14x1.5 thread and a 1-pin connector, so it should be matched to the original BMW application exactly. Inspect the sealing surface and surrounding cooling system components during service, and confirm the connector locks securely after installation.

Quality Assurance

Vemo replacement parts are cataloged to OE specifications and application data for accurate fitment selection. Confirm the part number V20-72-0442 against the vehicle’s original sender reference before ordering.
