Product Description

Keep your engine running at the correct temperature with the Arrowhead THERMOSTAT 82°C, designed for the COOLING THERMOSTAT system in select Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen models. This thermostat regulates coolant flow, ensuring the engine warms up quickly and maintains optimal operating temperature. Proper fitment is essential for engine performance and longevity, so always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering.

This Arrowhead thermostat is compatible with a range of Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen vehicles. Common applications include popular models such as the Audi A4, A5, and A6, as well as Volkswagen Polo and various Seat models. Fitment can vary by engine variant, so double-check all vehicle details to ensure correct installation.

A faulty thermostat can cause a number of issues, including engine overheating, poor heater performance, erratic temperature gauge readings, and increased fuel consumption. If you notice your engine taking too long to warm up or running hotter than usual, the thermostat may be the culprit. Other symptoms include coolant leaks around the thermostat housing and fluctuating engine temperatures.

Replace the thermostat if you experience any of these symptoms, or as part of routine cooling system maintenance. A new thermostat helps prevent overheating and ensures efficient engine operation, especially during South African summers or long drives.
