    The electric element allows the computer to heat the wax element to temporarily lower the opening temperature of the thermostat. This allows for a lower coolant temperature, and keeps the coolant from boiling in the cylinder head. Car companies are running the engines so hot for efficiency that there’s no thermal headroom left in the coolant for high power operation. Temporarily lowering the coolant temperature allows them to run hot for efficiency at low load, and cool to handle hi load situations. Did you finally sell the 530 D, or will we see it back with a fresh engine?

    It’s normal for the radiator fan to ‘overrun’ after turning off the engine. Otherwise coolant sits in the block & could potentially overheat the engine block in the recent minutes after switching off 👍 A gas central heating boiler also does the same thing if you listen closely.

    Wow, is that £12,000 (GBP)? That’s a lot more than I sold it for… but I’ve noticed used performance car prices have been going up a lot! I don’t remember any rust on that car as it was garaged most of its life & the mileage was pretty low. There was a slow oil leak on one of the rocker cover gaskets which I never managed to sort, but other than that it was pretty good. Only reason I sold it is that I didn’t really drive it often enough & it seemed silly having the money tied up in a car that was rarely driven… so I sold it 👍
