FishWick 21 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Is this the 70 deg opening one? Be careful. 70 deg is the point in the Engine map where lambda control takes over from the warm up maps. All these early opening stats do is prolong the warmup map, costing you more in fuel and running over rich. It's why VW use an 80 deg thermostat.If the cooling system is in good health, there is absolutely no need for a lower temp stat what so ever. If the engine is over heating, look elsewhere for problems :-) Link to post Share on other sites
