About this part

Product Details

This is the Mishimoto 180 Degree Racing Thermostat, designed to fit a range of Volkswagen and Audi models from the late 90s to mid-2000s, including popular vehicles like the 1999-2005 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, and 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat. When your engine is fully warmed up, this thermostat opens at a lower temperature than the stock unit. This allows coolant to circulate through the engine sooner, which helps to reduce and maintain cooler overall engine temperatures. It's a direct replacement for your factory thermostat, making installation straightforward.

The key difference with this racing thermostat is its activation point. While your stock thermostat might open around 188.6F, this Mishimoto unit opens at 180F. This earlier opening means your cooling system can start working to keep things cool sooner, which can be beneficial for both street driving and track use, especially if your car is modified. It's a simple yet effective way to improve your vehicle's cooling efficiency.

This thermostat comes with the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, offering peace of mind with your purchase.
