Do modern cars have a thermostat in the engine cooling system or is controlled these days electronically? I was talking today to a lad about the first little fix up job on my astra 20 years ago, replacing the radiator thermostat. We both couldnt decide if cars have them now or not? |

....as Alex said YES they have them....and of couse some manufacturers spoiled this by using electrically controlled thermostats or using more than one....making this system complicated and expensive |

Yeh I’ve had a few in recently the parts alone for the mk7 golf were £335 and took around three hours to change was a bit excessive for a thermostat in my opinion. This one was controlled by a motor and sealed off by a ball valve.

I bought this one from ebay and so far so good. You can even replace it yourself, it's not very dofficult, but it is very messy job as you have to drain cooling system, and you need a special tool to unscrew these bolts holding the thermostat in place
