Hi everyone,
I notice Motorad thermostats are the only stats sold in parts stores in my area, The only exception is Napa where I ordered a Mahle stat made in Germany.
I purchased a late model Volvo V70XC about two months ago and noticed the temperature would drop a notch when coasting and return back to normal in traffic or highway driving, The temp gauge needle on Volvos and BMWs stay in the middle at normal operating temperature, Not sure when the Motorad thermostat was installed but I had issues with Motorad stats in the past on other vehicles.
What are your experience with Motorad thermostats?
Pics of old Motorad thermostat I removed and a new Stant superstat, I installed a Mahle stat and so far so good.
The stat with the small green spring is the Motorad and the pic with the thicker spring is a Stant Superstat.
