Please help identify the correct thermostat kit.
 

Dear friends,

I need some help in finding the correct part for my 240D with this VIN number: WDBAB23A9BB247229.

When I tried to retrieve the part number for thermostat kit, I received this engine range to choose from:

-10-086378
-12-027798

Based on the 12th through 17th digits of the VIN number, I can't see how it falls into the engine range shown above.

Please help me find the correct part (which engine range should I choose??)

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Eric

Your ENGINE # is different than your VIN #. You want the engine #; starts with 616.

If its a manual, it will be the 10-xxxxxx number

If its an automatic (my condolances) it will be the 12-xxxxxx number.

What they are looking for is the model number of your car. In your case it is something like 123.123.1x.xxxxxx.

Look for a sheetmetal plate just infront of the radiator. All those numbers on there tell you about your car, and the options it was built with.

Hope this helps,

Eric,

You can always do what I do. I call the dealer and have them look up the correct part number based on the VIN. That seems to work. And, Phil is always a great help finding the correct part number.
