Behr THD 1 82 Engine Coolant Thermostat 82°C Opening Temperature

The Behr THD 1 82 is a precision-engineered engine coolant thermostat with an 82°C (180°F) opening temperature, manufactured by Behr Thermot-Tronik, a leading OEM supplier of automotive cooling system components. This thermostat is designed to regulate coolant flow between the engine and radiator for optimal temperature management.

Key Features:

• 82°C (180°F) opening temperature for precise thermal regulation
• OEM-quality construction from Behr Thermot-Tronik (MAHLE Aftermarket brand)
• Insert-style thermostat design for direct installation into thermostat housing
• Compatible with various European vehicle applications including Porsche and other imports
• Manufactured to original equipment specifications

This thermostat sits between the engine and radiator in the thermostat housing, blocking coolant flow until the engine reaches proper operating temperature, typically around 200-220°F, at which point it opens to allow coolant circulation. It should be replaced anytime major work is performed on the cooling system to ensure continued reliable engine temperature control and prevent overheating or inefficient warm-up cycles.
