Review on TOYOTA 90916 A3003 Genuine Toyota Thermostat by Tim Duncan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Probably OEM but not sure.

Installed normally, but did not let air bubbles through and therefore did not open. After many big headaches and wasting a lot of time trying to "burp" the system, I finally had to remove it and drill a small bypass hole to allow air to escape. Bleed straight away and works fine now but unfortunately I'm sure what I did wasn't a long term solution on modern cars and the right move is to replace. I would just buy $5 at O'Riley's if I knew I was going through all this hassle. EDIT (2/15/17) A replacement was sent and installed as requested and is working as expected. It must have gone badly the first time. The good news is that with all the practice I gained the first time, the swap was a breeze. Many Thanks.
