Detailed Description

Motorad 483-195 is engineered as an OE-quality engine coolant thermostat for Volvo cooling system repair. The thermostat is manufactured using OEM specifications and processes, with materials selected to handle demanding thermal cycling. Its 195°F opening point matches OE-specified temperature requirements on listed Volvo applications, including 2014-2016 Volvo S60, 2015-2016 Volvo V60, 2015-2016 Volvo XC60, 2016 Volvo XC70, 2008-2013 Volvo C30, 2006-2013 Volvo C70, 2012-2013 Volvo S60, 2004-2011 Volvo S40, and 2005-2011 Volvo V50.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address

• Engine running too cool or too hot due to thermostat wear
• Delayed warm-up after cold starts
• Temperature fluctuation from a sticking thermostat
• Coolant flow control problems caused by aging internal components
• Service replacement for OE-specified 195°F thermostat applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE temperature specification and housing style before installation. This thermostat uses a 2.28 in sealing flange outside diameter, 1.48 in height between flanges, 2.11 in overall height, and a 0.99 in bypass diameter with 1.37 in bypass length. The flange thickness is 0.05 in, and the included rubber O-ring seal should be seated cleanly before assembly. The jiggle pin weep hole helps purge trapped air during filling and bleeding.

For best results, inspect the thermostat housing, coolant condition, and sealing surfaces during service. Replace damaged seals or warped housings before reassembly to maintain proper coolant control.

Quality Assurance

Motorad manufactures this thermostat with OEM-quality materials and safety standards as an OE supplier, using OE-style processes to support consistent cooling system performance. The copper case and wax compound are selected for rapid response to coolant temperature changes.
