AISIN Engine Coolant Thermostat P/N:THF-003
Hold your Subaru's engine at its designed operating temperature with the AISIN Engine Coolant Thermostat THF006. This standard-design thermostat assembly stays closed until the coolant reaches its start-to-open temperature, then opens to route coolant through the radiator so the cooling system holds the correct temperature range. It fits the front, lower thermostat position and installs as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of Subaru models, including the 2019-2025 Ascent (H4-2.4L), 2014-2018 Forester (H4-2.0L), 2012-2014 Impreza (H4-2.0L), and 2015-2023 WRX (H4-2.0L / H4-2.4L) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engine codes.
A thermostat stuck open can leave the engine running cold, while one stuck closed can drive it toward overheating; if a failed thermostat is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Country of origin: Japan. One thermostat per application.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this thermostat do?
It regulates coolant flow, staying closed until the coolant reaches its start-to-open temperature, then opening to send coolant to the radiator so the cooling system holds the correct temperature range.
At what temperature does it start to open?
The THF006 has a start-to-open temperature of 88°C (190.4°F).
Does it include a gasket and a jiggle pin?
Yes. A gasket/seal is included, and the assembly has a jiggle pin check valve to help bleed trapped air during operation.
Will this fit my Subaru?
It's a direct-fit replacement for many Subaru models such as the Ascent, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, Crosstrek, XV Crosstrek, and WRX. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your year and engine.
What are signs my thermostat may need replacing?
Signs include the engine running colder than normal, slow warm-up, temperature swings, or overheating. Diagnose the cause first; if a failed thermostat is responsible, this assembly replaces it.
