Littlebear 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I was wondering if anyone knew the best place for me to get a 160 degree thermostat for my car. Here in florida its just way to hot for the stock one and I have checked the local parts stores and cant seem to locate one. Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Does anyone have a easy way to change the thermostat in a VR6 Corrado? If so hit me up I know I can figure it out but its alot easier to do it if you have directions from someone who has done it before. If any has pics to go along with it that would be great to!!! Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear 0 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Changing my thermostat on the corrado has proven to be more of a chore then I expected. That thing is leaking like crazy. I changed the seal and RTVed the hell out of it and still it leaks anyone have any Ideas. I will post pictures and directions online as soon as I get her all buttoned up so if anyone else wants to take the challenge of thermostat changing they will at least have pictures to follow if they cant read LOL!!!

Jamminvr6storm 0 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Im quite interested in doing this myself.....What exactly is needed to do the whole conversion?160 Deg Stat - NeuspeedFan Switch?Thermostat Switch?Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I just did the stat, but you'll need the housing aswel as they tend to be brittle so break when you take them off, only about £15 though Link to post Share on other sites
Jamminvr6storm 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Just been speaking to Neuspeed, they can supply the stat but they dont do a fan switch for the VR? Now if i am correct here changing the stat will only allow it to open earlier therefore it wont heat up as quick, but as Corambo is finding it will still run a higher temp because the fan will still only cut in at its usuall temp?
