    Description

    This is a 100% new unit, for the 1600 FUEL INJECTED (75-79) based engines
    All units come with a 2 year warranty.
    The stock FI bug engine uses a higher temp range thermostat. The common bug/ghia carb engine stat starts to open at 65-70C. This stat starts to open at 80-85C.
    see the pics, stamped on the bottom is:
    - made in the "USA"
    - the Awesome Powdercoat logo
    - 80 85 opening range
    shipping to the lower 48 states. Other locations it is cheapest to go by USPS, but price will vary by location.
    These are brand new thermostats for the Type I FUEL INJECTED air cooled engine. Not used, Not NOS, these are BRAND NEW , FITTINGS, TOP & BOTTOM, BELLOWS. This gives you the best of everything. You get the right liquid inside for the right expansion at the right temperature. And if it ever does fail, it fails safe, flaps full open, unlike the new VW "Mexico" version that you see for sale that fails “unsafe”, flaps full closed, should the wax inside leak out.
    Don't mess around with a questionable 50+ year old part that might fail soon after you install it. As an added bonus, I offer a 2 year refund/replacement warranty! No one else will do that.
