PTE thermostat
160 degree thermostat. I've had this thing collecting dust for months. I installed it today and really don't know why I was waiting. It only took about an hour. It could also be a good time to drain and flush your coolant as you have to remove some. It was three bolts in all with one hose clamp.
I have been driving around all day in 70-80degree weather and the temp never went over 80C stop and go. On the highway stuck a couple needles width below 80. It really made a distinct difference as my car was normally around 90. I think any C43 would greatly benefit from this.

Hello nitro.
How much did you purchase it for? Can you post a location of where you got it? and maybe installation instructions? I don't think I need anything, but I am sure this will help in future.
Thank you in advance.
