Product Description

This THERMOSTAT 105°C is a crucial component in your vehicle's cooling system, designed to regulate engine temperature by controlling coolant flow. It features an integrated plastic housing, brass thermostat element, and a 2-pin electrical connector for precise temperature management. This thermostat is suitable for selected Chevrolet and Opel models, particularly those with 1.6 and 1.8 litre engines.

Fitment includes various Chevrolet models such as Aveo, Cruze, and Sonic, as well as Opel Astra J 1.6. Always confirm your specific model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure compatibility.

A failing thermostat can lead to engine overheating, poor heater performance, fluctuating temperature gauge readings, or even engine management warning lights. You may also notice coolant leaks from the housing or irregular engine cooling cycles.

Replace the thermostat if you experience any of these symptoms or during scheduled cooling system maintenance. Timely replacement helps prevent costly engine damage and ensures your vehicle operates efficiently, especially during the hot South African summer.
