The first big change was to correct the overcooling issue that some customers (particularly in colder climates) were experiencing. If you purchase one of the original version 1 thermostat housings, please reach out to me and i will ship you a retrofit kit free of charge. The second big change was moving the assembly screws to the outside of the oring grove. That thoroughly ensures the screw cannot drop into the engine block if it were to ever come lose. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GPS billet aluminum Audi 3.0T Thermostat housing is a game-changer in engine performance and reliability.

The plastic tabs of the OEM thermostat are prone to breaking, causing the thermostat to fail closed, which can result in engine overheating and significant damage. Our 6061-T6 aluminum housing completely removes those tabs, significantly reducing the risk of thermostat failure. Additionally, aluminum can naturally withstand high temperature heat cycles for longer periods than plastic, making our thermostat more durable and reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"De1MzN\" data-hook=\"stacked-info-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nIrkeO QfrfFD cell\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"suDFwqW ogFb3AX---typography-11-runningText ogFb3AX---priority-7-primary _HOcyB D0x9d0 sxbtulv ftb6e2\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-hook=\"info-section-title\"\u003eOptimized for Engine Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hook=\"info-section-description\" class=\"zp8uy2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur thermostat is designed to open at 85C, just like the OEM thermostat, ensuring optimal engine performance.
