Product Description

The Cooltec Thermostat 87°C is an essential component in your vehicle's cooling system, designed to regulate engine temperature and maintain optimal performance. This thermostat opens at 87 degrees Celsius, allowing coolant to circulate and prevent overheating during operation. Its robust metal housing and precise wax element ensure reliable operation and consistent temperature control.

This thermostat is compatible with select Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen models. Typical applications include various models such as Audi A3 and A4 B6, Volkswagen Golf IV, V, VI (1.6 and 2.0 engines), and Seat vehicles using similar engine configurations. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

A faulty thermostat can cause several noticeable symptoms, including fluctuating engine temperature, delayed warm-up, poor heater performance, coolant leaks, or engine overheating. If your temperature gauge shows erratic readings or your engine struggles to reach or maintain normal operating temperature, the thermostat may need attention.

Thermostats should be replaced if they become stuck open or closed, or if you notice signs of corrosion or leakage around the housing. It is also recommended to replace the thermostat during major cooling system repairs or after significant overheating incidents to avoid future issues.
