OEM Nissan, but slightly more conservative with cooling.

After reinstalling an OEM thermostat, I am very happy to say my high temp issues have been solved!

Vehicle:

Not the water pump but I just had my thermostat replaced under the extended warranty. I was slowly losing coolant with no discernable leak.
Pros: fully covered, extended warranty
Cons: slowly losing coolant
We had to replace thermostat from Nissan group Infinity. So far no problem right now
Pros: no problem
Vehicle:
Nissan
I just got this done and Audi quoted me $2500 for just the thermostat. Mine was covered by the extended warranty Audi has on all water pumps leaks.
Pros: covered by warranty
Cons: expensive repair
Vehicle:

Just make sure you buy a genuine Nissan thermostat. I don't know what it is about these cars, but they do NOT like aftermarket thermostats. Just spend the extra ten bucks on a Nissan part.
Pros: genuine part recommended
Cons: aftermarket not liked
Vehicle:
Nissan
the 80c has been running flawless. Only difference is that my coolant stays at 83-94c. It used to get as high as 100 sometimes. Also the 80c part was recommended oe part #
Pros: running flawless, lower coolant temperature
Vehicle:
Audi TT
Part number: 050-121-113-B
My Q5 with 75,000 miles on it developed a leak in the water pump area. Initially Audi denied there was a leak, so I took pictures and showed it to them. Then they diagnosed it with thermostat leak.
Pros: warranty on that part
Cons: leak in water pump
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Mileage: 75000 km
The current plastic thermostat looks a little more beefy, but is still shatty plastic. They're commonly failing at 30-55k miles in the stuck closed position, instant overheat.
Pros: more beefy look
Cons: shatty plastic, instant overheat
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Mileage: 55000 km
