Themostat Question

[VW Addict]

Is this Thermostat for a 2.0L?

Looks like it to me:

At room temp the thermostat should be constricted. They are expanded like that when the engine is hot or in the case of yours, when it is broken.

Thank you. It was in a parts lot a buddy of mine got. So, it's unfortunetly worthless then? I didn't realize it was bad. Thanks.

I wonder if AwesomePowdercoat can refurbish them.
If so, I've got a couple that could use some help.
