Product Description

The Arrowhead Thermostat 88°C is designed to regulate engine temperature in select Renault models, ensuring optimal performance and preventing overheating. This thermostat is part of the cooling system, opening at 88°C to allow coolant circulation when the engine reaches operating temperature. Its integrated housing features multiple hose connections and a secure rubber gasket seal, providing reliable fitment and leak prevention.

This thermostat is compatible with specific Renault vehicles. Before ordering, please confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing thermostat include engine overheating, fluctuating temperature gauge readings, poor heater performance, coolant leaks around the thermostat housing, and increased fuel consumption. You may also notice the engine taking too long to reach operating temperature or warning lights on the dashboard.

Replace the thermostat if you experience any of these symptoms or during routine cooling system maintenance. Timely replacement helps maintain proper engine temperature, prevents costly overheating damage, and supports efficient engine operation.
