Product Details

Gates OE Exact Thermostat 33985 is built for drivers who need an OEM-style coolant control component rather than a universal substitute.

This thermostat is listed for the 1999 Toyota Tercel and matches the OE temperature specification for that application. Gates 33985 is also referenced by Febi-Bilstein 33985, Gates 38148, and Stant 48148 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Engine running too cool or too hot from a worn thermostat
  • Delayed coolant circulation after cold starts
  • Temperature fluctuation caused by inconsistent thermostat opening
  • Cooling system air pockets related to trapped air at the thermostat
  • Incorrect thermostat fitment in OE-style replacement service

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the thermostat in the correct orientation for the bottom by-pass design and verify the sealing surfaces are clean before assembly. No installation tool is included, and no gasket quantity is listed for this part, so confirm the required sealing components for the vehicle before installation. After installation, refill and bleed the cooling system according to factory service procedures and verify normal operating temperature on the 1999 Toyota Tercel.
