be sure to test it in a pan of boiling water with a termometer in to make sure it works as it should before fitting, saves a cooked engine...

GSF thermostats are really, really rubbish.

Early and late thermostats are the same

I'm not saying GSF 'stats are "pooh" because I want to sell you one of mine, I've not even put them on the website yet but in the next few days, when I get the time I will upload the details of the ones I sell, made by the same people who made them for VW, so you know they work.
And, hopefully won't go obsolete like the VW will (the price has just dropped, usually a sign they are about to go!!)
