Rating 4.0

Mine has been chilling little to no problem so far in 20-30° PA

Sometimes going down long hills engine braking will close the thermostat and will warm up to 200, but then opens back up

I replaced it with the motorad thermostat that opens 10° lower

Pros: little to no problem

Motorad (SNN-2000-195) 195 thermostat for quite awhile now. Zero issues.\n\nI did try something that claimed to be a Mopar t-stat my last upgrade and it wouldnt open up until about 225 degrees. It was like 40 bucks too. So i went back to the Motorad (SNN-2000-195)

Pros: zero issues
Cons: Mopar opened at 225
Part number: SNN-2000-195

I have an 06 Audi A3 2.0T Sportback with just over 105k miles; recently replaced the thermostat, spark plugs and coil packs. Other than being in need of some new brakes and a bit of cosmetic love, she's running strong.

Pros: running strong
Cons: needs new brakes
Vehicle: Audi A3
Mileage: 168981 km

Recently had the exact same issue on a 14 a6 ended up being a DOA t stat I compared the shaft length on the new t start to the 2nd new t stay and sure enough it protruded out about a mm further just enough to not seal properly causing the over cooling after the swap no more issues.

Pros: no more issues
Cons: over cooling
Vehicle: Audi A6

I bought a Motorad 7908203 Thermostat and replaced it. Got all the air out of the system after replacing and all seemed good but now, my car only heats up to the correct temp when idle and when I start to drive is when my car starts to cool down closer to C again and doesn’t heat up any further.

Cons: car cools down while driving
Vehicle: Chrysler 200
Part number: 7908203

Don't get the Motorad that includes the thermostat housing, because that one is junk, and the thermostat housing is not OEM sized.

Cons: junk quality, non-OEM size
