As the title says really.
Yesterday I finally got round to fitting to my cq20v the Wahler 87deg c thermostat id had on my workbench for a fair while.
I bought it in an attempt to fix the cooling on my car which never seemed to get up to proper operating temperature.
A 10mile drive to work barely lifted the needle off the first 3 marks on the temp gauge unless stationary in traffic. Granted yes it is winter so you might expect it to be a bit cooler than normal but this was too cool. Who knows how much fuel was wasted driving with a rich ECU signal...
New thermostat in and today on the same drive i get to somewhere between the 80 (first big mark on gauge) and 90deg c marks (first thick big mark). Maybe closer to 80 than 90 but it was only single figure temperature today.
Idling i see proper control of the temp with my radiator fan coming on for only 12-13secs at a time.
Well pleased so sharing my big up top tip for Wahler thermostats.
