Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Thermostat P/N:143-0640
Beck/Arnley 143-0149 thermostat for the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat 4-cylinder 1.8L and other vehicles opens and closes to regulate coolant flow and engine temperature. It is also called an engine coolant thermostat and is made for a specific application.
A thermostat that sticks can show up as an engine running hotter than normal, a temperature gauge that stays low, or a slow warm-up. A water pump, radiator, cooling fan or temperature sensor can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying a new thermostat.
It matches OE form, fit and function. Vehicles it fits include the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat 4-cylinder 1.8L, the 1983 Nissan Sentra 4-cylinder 1.6L and, as a VW Beetle thermostat, the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Beetle 4-cylinder 2.0L.
One thermostat. Each application takes one.
