The 80 degree thermostat isn't made for the 2.8L. It's just a lower rated thermostat.

Unless someone lives in a very hot climate the 80 degree thermostat is a downgrade which will cause the car to not run correctly (too rich, not get up to temp).

Additionally. If this is a AAN thermostat it doesn't have the little vent hole like the 12v does.

I'd just toss it in the trash unless someone with a desert Urs4/Urs6 is interested.

    - Looking at Autohausaz it looks like they list the 80C thermo as "OEM". Not sure why. - GreenMachine 2017-03-15 19:00:21 (161 views)
