Thermostats

Precision Engineered to Champion the Independent Aftermarket

The VXPRO range of thermostats includes everything from traditional wax-element units to modern integrated thermostat housings with sensors and control modules. Engineered to match OE function and fit, our thermostats help regulate engine temperature for maximum performance, longevity, and emissions compliance.

Many references are supplied pre-assembled with thermostat housings, saving time in the workshop and ensuring leak-free installation. Every unit is manufactured to stringent quality standards, backed by a 5-year warranty, and supported by our TechASSIST and StockASSIST services — giving independents the tools and confidence to compete with the dealer network.

TechASSIST: Product Support and Information

The thermostat is a vital part of the engine’s cooling system. It: Controls coolant flow between the engine and radiator Helps the engine warm up quickly to optimal operating temperature Maintains consistent engine temperature, improving performance and fuel economy Supports emission control systems, which rely on stable temperatures Protects the engine from overheating or running too cold Whether a basic insert or a complex housing-integrated thermostat, a reliable unit is critical for both engine health and driver confidence.

Why Do They Fail?

Thermostats are subject to constant thermal cycling and can fail over time due to:

  • Sticking open, often due to internal wear, spring fatigue, or debris

  • Sticking closed, risking overheating and head gasket failure

  • Housing cracks or seal failure, especially on plastic-bodied types

  • Sensor failure, in electronically controlled units

  • Coolant contamination, leading to corrosion or scale build-up

  • Improper installation, such as airlocks or over-tightening housing bolts

Symptoms of a Failing Thermostat

  • Engine overheating, especially on long drives or in traffic

  • Poor cabin heating, caused by the thermostat stuck open

  • Slow warm-up, leading to poor fuel economy and increased emissions

  • Erratic temperature gauge, fluctuating or stuck in one position

  • Check Engine Light (MIL), particularly on electronically controlled types

  • Coolant leaks, often near the housing or pipe connections

Fitting Tips

  1. Always replace the gasket or housing seal — never reuse the old one

  2. Flush the cooling system before installation to remove contaminants

  3. Ensure proper bleeding after refilling coolant — airlocks can cause false overheating

  4. Use correct torque settings when fitting housings, especially plastic types

  5. Check compatibility — some vehicles require temperature-controlled valves with integrated sensors or heaters
