73’ Bavaria Thermostat

[parklandvintage]

Hi fellows,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the correct thermostat for my 73’ Bavaria.

I bought the car last year and coolant temperature never went above 60c.

So I decided to replace it along with a few coolant hoses.

I order thermostat part#11 53 1 307 737 since that was the only option from the site I ordered from. When comparing the old one with the new one there seem a few differences.

Anyways, could someone please point me in the right direction. I’m new to the Bavaria’s.

Much appreciated,
Sven

Hello E3 & E9 wizards,

I have purchased thermostat #11531254065 for my 73’ Bavaria as suggested in this post.
I have now received the thermostat but it is identical to #115313077373.

#11531254065 was ordered from a reputable vendor.

What em missing here and what is the right thermostat to use.

Please see attached pictures.

Much appreciated!

Who is the seller, you need to contact them.

115313077373 is not a correct part number - too many digits.

The item from Walloth is correct-11531254065
make sure you have an original thermostat housing with correct date of your car.
