Having a new Stat fitted in a few weeks as mine drops a fair bit once cruising so def FUBAR'd. Be good to see if it improves anything, can't see where but you never know.

I didn't notice any difference power-wise but the car ran marginally better afterwards. With the ECU attempting to get the car to operating temperature it will over-fuel a bit and that will hurt MPG and cause buildup of carbon in the combustion chamber (long term).

Best to get it fixed @DomBacon

Picked my car up this morning after having my main thermostat changed and i definitely notice a difference in power.Feels much more responsive. My car has felt low on power for as long as i can remember and couldn't put my finger on it until the temp guage started to drop from 90 degrees on the motorway and then take nearly 40 mins to reach 90 degrees.

Ok so a little help needed please peeps  :innocent:

I think i have the main thermostat problem, but someone riddle me this, i've got a GTI which was orginally a BWA engine code, but have since converted to a CDL. Anyone know which part number i'd need?

You probably need the same one as the ed30.

Best way to check would be to take down the number plate of a Golf R on Autotrader and go down to your local VW and get the part number for that car  :happy2:

So the ED30/CDL revision "H" will be compatible with my car you think John?

The more i think about it the more confused i'm getting, as when i did the conversion to CDL it was a bare block, meaning my BWA gti thermostat would have gone back on, revision "F"?

So is there actually any difference between the stats?

Yes they look physically different on these illustrations!
If you fitted the BWA gear back then you need
regulator part number 06F 121 111 F - £49:86
seal 06B 121 119 B - £4.08

I would cause it's to match your existing coolant system hose layout so (F) ending is the way to go, and as I said (H) ending regulator looks physically different. :happy2:
