Thanks for that brand suggestion Dennis. Though I'm running a different VW engine in my Vanagon, I have to wonder if the thermostat is part of the reason my heater is barely adequate in cooler temps (e.g. 0ยบ C) Amazon also shows a "Mahle Original TX...." for my engine.

Though my engine has a different cooling system routing, it seems that in colder weather, my temp gauge needle to take longer to get into position. I thought that was normal. Seems not.

Neil.
