brand new type 1 thermostat, FI 80 85, 2yr waranty   Price: 134
This is a 100% new unit, for the 1600 FUEL INJECTED (75-79) based engines,
All units come with a 2 year warranty.

The stock FI bug engine uses a higher temp range thermostat. The common bug/ghia carb engine stat starts to open at 65-70C. This stat starts to open at 80-85C.

see the pics, stamped on the bottom is:
- made in the "USA"
- the Awesome Powdercoat logo
- each thermostat is individually hand numbered on top for warranty tracking reasons

$10 shipping to the lower 48 states. Other locations it is cheapest to go by USPS, but price will vary by location.

I can supply any other thermostat related parts you might need for these engine.

These are brand new thermostats for the Type I FUEL INJECTED air cooled engine. Not used, Not NOS, these are BRAND NEW , FITTINGS, TOP & BOTTOM, BELLOWS. This gives you the best of everything. You get the right liquid inside for the right expansion at the right temperature. And if it ever does fail, it fails safe, flaps full open, unlike the new VW "Mexico" version that you see for sale that fails “unsafe”, flaps full closed, should the wax inside leak out.

Due to low demand, these are special order. Expect 6-8 week turnaround. This is a brand new thermostat. These are built in the USA. We sandwich a brand new phosphor-bronze bellows in between new water jet cut top and bottom and new brass fittings. Phosphor-bronze is superior to the original brass bellows because is it less prone to fatigue cracking from thermal cycling and more corrosion resistant.

Don't mess around with a questionable 50+ year old part that might fail soon after you install it. As an added bonus, I offer a 2 year refund/replacement warranty! No one else will do that.

They are designed to start opening at 80-85C. The bottom female threads are stock 8MX1.25 & the top male thread is 4MX.7, just like factory.
