Product Description

Ensure your Audi or Volkswagen’s cooling system operates efficiently with the Cooltec Thermostat 87°C, designed to regulate engine temperature for optimal performance. This thermostat is part of the COOLING THERMOSTAT category and is engineered to open at 87°C, helping maintain the correct operating temperature for your vehicle’s engine. It features a robust plastic housing with multiple hose connections and an integrated electrical connector, making it suitable for specific Audi and Volkswagen models.

Compatible with select Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, including models like the A3 2.0TDI, Golf, Jetta VI, and Tiguan, this thermostat is crucial for proper coolant flow and temperature management. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before purchasing.

Common symptoms of a failing thermostat include engine overheating, slow engine warm-up, fluctuating temperature gauge readings, poor heater performance, increased fuel consumption, and coolant leaks around the thermostat housing. If you notice any of these issues, it's important to inspect and replace the thermostat as needed.

Replacing the thermostat at the first sign of trouble prevents potential engine damage caused by overheating or inefficient cooling. Installation should be done following your vehicle’s maintenance guidelines, and always use the correct coolant type and observe torque specifications for mounting bolts.
