Coolant shutoff valve: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The coolant shutoff valve at the expansion tank shuts off the cooling circuit through the expansion tank. As a result, further potential for the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) exists.
The coolant thus reaches the required operating temperature quicker, which has a favorable effect on the exhaust emissions.
