I need a new thermostat. The old bellows type are available but there is a new type which is cheaper. I dont see the need to fork out extra $ on the bellows if the new one is good
Old Bellows New type Anyone had any experience? |

When the old type bellows thermostat fails, it fails in the open position with the cooling flaps open so your engine doesn't overheat.
From what I have read, when the new non-bellows types fail, they fail in the closed position with the cooling flaps closed. If this happens while driving, your engine can overheat. This is only what I have read. Someone with 1st hand experience with these new thermostats might want to chime in. |
