MAHLE TX 344 82 Engine Coolant Thermostat 82°C Opening Temperature

The MAHLE TX 344 82 Engine Coolant Thermostat is a precision-engineered temperature regulator designed to maintain optimal engine operating temperature in your vehicle's cooling system. This thermostat insert features an 82°C (180°F) opening temperature, indicated by the last two digits of the part number, ensuring your engine reaches its ideal temperature quickly while preventing overheating during operation.

Key Features:

• 82°C (180°F) start-to-open temperature for precise thermal regulation
• Wax-element thermal expansion design for reliable, maintenance-free operation
• OE-quality construction meeting original equipment manufacturer specifications
• Controls coolant flow between engine block and radiator for optimal temperature management
• Prevents engine overcooling when closed and overheating when open
• Designed for direct replacement installation

MAHLE is a world-leading manufacturer of engine cooling components, trusted by OEMs and professional technicians globally. This thermostat insert utilizes a thermal expansion element that changes volume with temperature, actuating a piston to open and close the coolant flow path. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed, allowing the engine to warm up quickly. Once the coolant reaches 82°C, the thermostat opens to allow coolant circulation through the radiator, maintaining consistent operating temperature and preventing damage to vital engine components.

A failing thermostat can cause engine overheating, poor fuel economy, increased emissions, and fluctuating temperature gauge readings. MAHLE thermostats are engineered to deliver outstanding performance and reliability, ensuring your cooling system operates at peak efficiency for optimal engine performance and longevity.
