Thermostat
What brand of thermostat would you suggest? There are so many choices and I want to find the most reliable one. Thank you.

OEM or OEM supplier only. I have never heard good things about any aftermarket units.

Get it from FCP Euro if you're going to keep the car. Lifetime warranty.

I replaced my OEM thermostat housing within the last month with a Bremmen unit. Fit perfect, no issues after.

I got mine from ECS. My 16 year old daughter installed it and a new water pipe at the same time without issue.

I bought a Facet unit. Made in Italy, and supposedly uses a sonic welding process instead of glue. Also bought Facet ignition coils, I have high hopes.
