Product Description

The Cooltec Thermostat 87°C is a crucial component in your vehicle's cooling system, designed to regulate engine temperature for optimal performance. This thermostat opens at 87 degrees Celsius, allowing coolant to flow and maintain the correct operating temperature, which is essential for engine efficiency and longevity. The robust metal housing, main outlet pipe, and secure mounting flange ensure a reliable seal and fit in the cooling circuit.

This thermostat is suitable for select models, including the Chevrolet Aveo 1.4 (2005-2012) and Daewoo Lanos 1.6 16V (from 1997 onwards). Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Common symptoms of a faulty thermostat include engine overheating, erratic temperature gauge readings, poor heater performance, and increased fuel consumption. You may also notice coolant leaks around the thermostat housing or the engine taking unusually long to warm up.

It is advisable to replace the thermostat if you experience any of these symptoms or during routine cooling system maintenance. Replacing a worn or stuck thermostat helps prevent engine damage caused by overheating or running too cold.
