Nice, but pricey. Then again, kinda wondering how long the original on my van will last. Worthy of a good inspection when the new t-stat arrives.

Is it possible to replace the t-stat without loosing but a small amount of coolant and having to bleed the system?

Someone asked earlier about the coolant that's in there now. It's the VW non-phosphate stuff. I don't have any leaks.
