Motorad 7234-192 Engine Coolant Thermostat

Motorad Fail-Safe Thermostat 7234-192

The Motorad Fail-Safe 7234-192 engine coolant thermostat is built for OE-style temperature control in demanding cooling systems. Set to open at 192 degrees F, it helps maintain proper engine operating temperature in Volkswagen, Volvo, Audi, and select Ford applications.

Designed with Motorad’s Fail-Safe approach, this thermostat locks open if overheating occurs so coolant can continue flowing. That makes it a practical choice for drivers looking for a direct-fit engine coolant thermostat for Volkswagen Beetle, Jetta, Golf, Passat, and Volvo S60 cooling system service.
