Give me the bmw technical term for a "fan switch" please!

[Deluded]

Could someone give me BMW's technical term for what is commonly known as a "fan switch" please.

I'm talking about the little sensor that screws into the side of the rad to control the cooling fan. When I used to run Fiats, it was simply a "fan switch" but I can't seem to find anything searching for that with regards to the Beemer.

All I can find which could possibly be the right part is a "Thermostatic transmitter".

Sound right?

"Kühlerschalter" or "Kühler Lüftungsschalter"

I always known them as cooling or radiator Fan Thermostat Switch, but yes thermostatic transmitter does sound about right.
