Just so happens my clearance thermostat is a Motorad which has the VW/Audi p/n cast on the housing!
Pros: VW/Audi part number
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
I use them all the time with no issues.
Pros: reliable performance
I used one of the MotoRad safety thermostat's that have a 1/16" hole already in them, in my 84. So.. No, I don't think you'll have any problems adding a hole.
Pros: pre-drilled hole, no problems
Vehicle:
Jeep
Every 6-7 months the cheap garbage scam of a brand Motorrad remains to be the only available thermostat I can access. I do the temp gun test, I verify my sensors are correct. I burp the cooling system. Everything. I’ve gotten so good at the job now. Every brand of thermostat I’ve tried in Canada is a Reboxed Motorrad. Premium to Economy. 7$-25 they’re all the stupid same. Parts source, Gates , Napa , Autovalue , “mopar” from my dealer. All Motorrad at different prices. I know of 2 they make, the standard oe 195 which is usually economy line. And the fail safe one they make. Both have catastrophic failures, either get stuck open, spring blows apart. Usually after 6-7 months they stop working entirely or the thing slowly stops letting the Jeep get to temp and I dread reliving the Motorrad Groundhog Day effect. It’s a garbage thermostat. People have argued with me that they make OEM equivalent parts and they never have issues but I’ve had nothing but issues.
Cons: catastrophic failures, gets stuck open, spring blows apart, stops working, garbage thermostat
Vehicle:
Jeep
I had to replace mine again after 6 months.
Cons: replaced after 6 months
Vehicle:
Ford Crown Victoria
Just not Motorad--unless you want to replace it again in 6 months
Cons: needs frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
MotoRad thermostat. Lasted less than 6 months.
Cons: lasted less than 6 months
never trust an aftermarket thermostat! Especially if it has MOTORAD stamped on it.
Cons: unreliable, untrustworthy
Oreillys used to have Motorad thermostats that were 2-5$. Then they started carrying Murray, which are double the price. Guess what's in the box? Motorad. Cheap crap for a premium price.
Cons: cheap crap, premium price
