A proper Wahler thermostat is what solved it.
I just put a new Waller in every 8 to 10 years when it comes time to redo the cooling system. Never had a leaking or stuck thermostat but we do live in Southern California, so I think things tend to last longer Here
I've had a Wahler fitted for 1.5yrs and everything's ok so far
I installed a Gates 33009S 195 degree after my Hughes install and haven’t had issues.
The brand new thermostat wasn’t opening all the way. One new Gates thermostat fixed the issue.
I always use Premium Thermostats, which are billed to fail open. Gates or Stant are my favorite brands.
I have experienced same with Wahler thermostat.
I’ve replaced it twice and it starts leaking from there in about 2000 miles or so. I’m willing to bet that thermostat is a Wahler brand. They are known to leak like this.
The wahler thermostat is either broken or its too cold where i live cause the car never really gets up to temp (or my temp sensor is broken).
The Wahler one's are rubbish. Did the same after my fucking brand new Wahner DID NOT work....
