Any of you guys ever changed the oem cooling thermostat for the 90degree version?? Have read a lot about these helping the engine stay cooler during increased pressures/temperatures and therefore helping avoid any said problems occurring due to increased heat etc.... have searched online for this component but failed to find one just wondering if anyone on here (uk) has one fitted?? Tia.
Ps wondered how relevant these are to our uk weather conditions |

Our cars control the thermostat in different ways depending on the mode you drive in.
In efficient the thermostat allows the temperature to go over 100 degrees whereas in sport plus it drops down to somewhere in the 80s, I can't remember exact numbers but I remember watching this occur in the secret menu. I dont think our weather in the UK warrants the use of a different thermostat. |

Yes most definitely, next time you're out in the car, access the secret menu and find coolant temp, drive around in efficient and watch the numbers climb, put it in sport plus and watch them fall again very quickly.
