Alternative Source For Thermostat And Coolant Temperature Sensor.

[Modus]

As much as I favor blue box items, some parts are just so pricey that an OEM manufacture can be found for alternates.

I speced these out for my stock 98 S70Glt

I wanted to let everyone know that I replaced my Thermostat with a Wahler Thermostat 90°C distrubuted by Gates supplied by Rock Auto for half the price of a Blue box. Same part.

Gates part# 34026 for $11.45 comes with rubber gasket and jiggle pin.
