Exactly. Creates the same resistance the heating element creates. The case is a heat sink. |

I think I was getting resistors and capacitors muddled up or something else yet unknown to man |

I understand. I have the weakest knowledge of electrical engineering in even the simplest forms. The only lab in physics that I had no grasp of. |

That may have been a BMW part, Behr makes the BMW parts so I was happy to use their part which turned out to be BMW anyway. It worked out cheaper than the e bay mod with no cutting or leaking gaskets as its fits perfectly, for me also peace of mind using a oem part. |

That's the one, fits perfectly, all you need to do is tape up the wire to the unused heating element and store it under the engine cover. No dash warning lights. |

No, the p and p and cost of that one is a lot more.

Just completed the thermostat mod, used the 88 degree Stat. Engine feels much smoother and a little quieter when idling. My thermostat had packed up anyway was taking ages to get upto temperature. Very happy with the mod, and a big thanks to the people that have posted on this thread. |

I am definitely thinking of getting this done. Probably will go with the BEHR as as far as I can see is a straight swap, correct?
