the 87 deg t stat is the only intended one for the vanagon. The 80 deg t stat is orignally intended for a 79 audi 5000. I have used the 80 deg unit but in the cooler clymates below 40 F it does not keep the engine up to temp at highway speeds. I think it would be good for the warmer parts of the world as long as the engine warms all the way up and stays there at higher speeds
