  • Slow warm-up:
Rating 5.0

I’ve installed Borg Wagner thermostats and those always failed until I installed a Mahle one which never failed. For some reason any other brand will get stuck open and the engine will never get up to temp.

Pros: Mahle never failed
Cons: Borg Wagner always failed

I used Mahle, but I got lucky I got the German-made one (afaik now most are made in Italy). It was NOS so I expect the electrical heater (to open early) to be defect. It's been 3 years without issue though.

Pros: three years without issue
Cons: heater may be defect

I had a brand new mahle one with the connector wired in reverse for constant. Kept blowing a fuse. Returned it for a replacement and worked fine.

Pros: worked fine after replacement
Cons: connector wired in reverse

I spent a good chunk of change on the Mishimoto thermostat and it got stuck closed within a couple months. Needed the car back right away and all I could get was a dirt cheap MotorRad one. Darn thing has been it in now without issue for a good long while now.

Pros: working without issue
Cons: stuck closed quickly

Get that mishimoto garbage out of there and put a new oem thermostat in there. Unless you really lile pulling the engine out, to replace coolant seals and rusted rotors...

Cons: poor quality, causes damage

Même souci sur 350Z

Le thermostat Mishimoto s'ouvre à 82° au lieu de 68°/ la réponse du constructeur → du moment ou la température reste stable !!!!!!!!!

Je suis énormément déçu de cette réponse surtout au prix et frais de douanes que cela comporte.

Cons: s'ouvre à mauvaise température, déçu de la réponse, frais de douanes
Vehicle: Nissan
