Product Details
This Gates OE Type Thermostat 33808 is engineered for drivers servicing cooling systems on vehicles such as the Cadillac DeVille, Cadillac Seville, and Buick Lucerne.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address
- Engine running too cool or taking too long to reach operating temperature
- Temperature fluctuations during stop-and-go driving
- Coolant seepage at the thermostat housing seal
- Air trapped in the cooling system after service
- Incorrect thermostat temperature for OE-spec replacement needs
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the thermostat orientation, by-pass design, and 180-degree temperature specification before installation. Clean the housing mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the O-ring sealing area for debris or corrosion. The jiggle pin weep hole should be positioned according to the vehicle service procedure to help purge trapped air during refill.
