AISIN Engine Coolant Thermostat P/N:THZ-008
Keep your engine running at its designed operating temperature with the AISIN Engine Coolant Thermostat (THZ002). This engine coolant thermostat drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2011-2014 Mazda 2 [L4-1.5L], 1993-2002 Mazda 626 [L4-2.0L] and [V6-2.5L], 1995-2002 Mazda Millenia [V6-2.3L/V6-2.5L], 1999-2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara, and 2020 Toyota Yaris [L4-1.5L] — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. AISIN manufactures it for exact OE form, fit and function to help maintain cooling-system performance.
The thermostat stays closed during warm-up to speed the engine to operating temperature, then opens at its rated temperature to route coolant to the radiator. Signs it may need replacing include overheating, an engine that runs cold, or a fluctuating temperature gauge. If a stuck thermostat is the cause of those symptoms, this assembly replaces it. Country of origin: Japan.
