Mishimoto Volkswagen VR6 Racing Thermostat Part MMTS-VR6-93L for Enhanced Cooling Efficiency

The Volkswagen VR6 engine is well known for its remarkable exhaust note and impressive response to forced induction.Keep your stock or modified VR6 cool with the Mishimoto racing thermostat, which is designed to promote greater cooling efficiency by significantly decreasing high engine temperatures.Once the engine is fully warmed up, the Mishimoto low-temperature racing thermostat will open at a lower temperature (160 F) compared to standard thermostats (176 F).This allows coolant to flow through the engine sooner, thus reducing and maintaining cooler engine temperatures.As with all our products, this thermostat includes the Mishimoto lifetime warranty. Engine coolant thermostat designed to regulate coolant flow and maintain optimal operating temperature. Ensures efficient warm-up, prevents overheating, and supports reliable performance with a precise fit. 2001 Audi A4 2.8 Liter 012, 2001 Audi A4 2.8 Liter 01V, 2001 Audi A4 Quattro 2.8 Liter 01A, 2001 Audi A4 Quattro 2.8 Liter 01V, 1998-1999 Audi A8 3.7 Liter 01V, 1998-2003 Audi A8 Quattro 4.2 Liter 01L, 2004-2007 Audi A8 Quattro 4.2 Liter 09E, 2004-2007 Audi A8 Quattro 4.2 Liter 09E, 2001-2003 Audi S8 4.2 Liter 01L, 2004-2006 Audi TT Quattro 3.2 Liter 02E, 2008-2009 Audi TT Quattro 3.2 Liter 02E, 2004-2006 Audi TT Quattro 3.2 Liter 02M, 2008-2009 Audi TT Quattro 3.2 Liter 02Q, 1990-1992 Dodge Monaco 3.0 Liter 4HP18, 1988-1992 Eagle Premier 3.0 Liter 4HP-18FL, 1988-1989 Eagle Premier 3.0 Liter AR4, 1997-2001 Ford Explorer 4.0 Liter 4R70W, 1997-2001 Ford Explorer 4.0 Liter 5R55E, 2002-2010 Ford Explorer 4.0 Liter 5R55S, 2002-2003 Ford Explorer 4.0 Liter 5R55W, 2006-2010 Ford Explorer 4.0 Liter 6R60, 2003 Ford Explorer 4.0 Liter M5R1, 2002-2003 Ford Explorer 4.0 Liter M5R4, 1997-2002 Ford Explorer 4.0 Liter R1, 2003 Ford Explorer 4.0 Liter R1HD, 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0 Liter 5R55E, 2007-2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0 Liter 5R55S, 2007-2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0 Liter 6R60, 2002-2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0 Liter M5R1, 2002-2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0 Liter M5R4, 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0 Liter R1, 2002-2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0 Liter R1HD, 1995-2006 Ford Galaxy 2.8 Liter, 2005-2009 Ford Mustang 4.0 Liter 5R55S, 2005-2009 Ford Mustang 4.0 Liter T5OD, 2001 Ford Ranger 4.0 Liter 4R44E, 2001-2003 Ford Ranger 4.0 Liter 5R44E, 2005-2007 Ford Ranger 4.0 Liter 5R44E, 2001-2009 Ford Ranger 4.0 Liter 5R55E, 2006-2009 Ford Ranger 4.0 Liter M5R1HD, 2001-2005 Ford Ranger 4.0 Liter R1, 2001-2005 Ford Ranger 4.0 Liter R1HD, 1995-1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas 4.0 Liter 4HP-22, 1988-1989 Jaguar XJ6 3.6 Liter 4HP-22, 1990-1997 Jaguar XJ6 4.0 Liter 4HP-22, 1996-1997 Jaguar XJ6 4.0 Liter 4HP-24, 1995-1997 Jaguar XJR 4.0 Liter 5HP-30, 1993-1994 Jaguar XJS 4.0 Liter 265 ...See Application Guide for Additional Fitments
