Best place to buy a thermostat?
#15
Haha they haven't failed me so far. I just changed the stat for one I had laying around from when I first got the car. It's a ecp part haha. Put it in and even with agressive driving it won't go above 80c. Even the stat has 83c printed on it to show when it should start opening. I don't understand how a car manufacture can get the simplest bit wrong haha.

I could feel the top rad hose getting warm when the gauge was just lifting off the bottom of the needle -_-

Maybe it's the temp sensor that's not reading right and it is actually getting to 90 just not reading correctly.
