Darren,


Looks can be deceiving.  While the thermostat looks good to me, the only way
to tell for sure is to place it in a pot of water, heat the water gradually
and, using a calibrated thermometer, note at what temperature the thermostat
begins to open.

PS: It looks like that thermostat might have been the one which Stant offers
for Vanagons.  While it fits the diameter of the housing, the valve disc on
its bottom is much too large to seat properly.
