Review on ⚙️ Fail-Safe Thermostat by MotoRad 7294-170 by Steve Atchley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work in thermostats

Super installed when replacing the timing belt/water pump but doesn't open and doesn't work. The engine overheated 20 km, got lucky, managed to stop and let cool, refill overcooked coolant. Brought it home and put the old Subaru 21210AA120 thermostat back in. Works fine except I have an old part in the car. Subaru's discussion forums state that only a Subaru OEM thermostat should be used with this part, not an aftermarket thermostat. I should have been careful.

Pros
  • Thermostats
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine
