N62 Engine
The coolant flows to the rear of the engine block, from there through the side channels to
the cylinder walls and then into the cylinder heads (lower left picture). The cast aluminum
cover at the rear of the engine block (with sealing bead) is shown on the lower right.
Water Pump/Thermostat Housing
The water pump is combined with the thermostat housing and is bolted to the timing case
lower section.

Map-controlled Thermostat
The map-controlled thermostat allows the engine to be cooled relevant to operating con-
ditions. This reduces fuel consumption by approximately 1-6%. The electrical connections,
the design and the map-controlled thermostat response have been enhanced. The map-
controlled thermostat function is the same as previous engines (M62).
Cooling Module
The cooling module contains the following main cooling system components:
• Cooling radiator
• Air conditioning condenser
• Transmission oil/water heat exchanger
• Hydraulic fluid radiator
• Engine oil radiator
• Main electric fan
• Fan shroud for viscous coupling fan
All the components (with the exception of the transmission oil radiator) can be removed for
repairs without disassembling any other coolant circuit. All connections have been fitted
with the quick-release coupling which are used in current models.
