interesting research and worth knowing
I have been sold a VW thermostat by a reputable parts guy who said it would fit and it did but it lacked the crucial bleed hole and the three stage effect it was rated 89 which was desireable from a goldilocks perspective - not too hot and not too cold
for me its just as crucial to get the right operating temperature thermostat
have seen them as low as 87 and as high as 92 with a few in between
I agree the waxstats tend to last less - about two seasons on average has been my experience
temp rating makes a huge difference in cold climates - with the 87 the needle will barely reach the 1/3 mark
