Hey guys
After I had some trouble with my cooling system I flushed it and changed some broken parts, but the problem is still there.
Today I checked my (new) thermostat (195°F) and put it in a water boiler, it started to open at 195° and was fully opened at over 210°F! I think that's the reason why my car is running so hot, so I need a cooler thermostat. I bought it from a Chrysler dealer with the original part#.
Now I read the stock 4G63 thermostat opens at 180°F. Should I try to use a cooler thermostat like 190° or 185°? What's the right part# for these thermostats? And do 4g63 thermostats fit into 420A thermostat housings?
Edit: I live in Germany, so I'll need a part# from Mitsubishi or Chrysler/Dodge since autozone and so one doesn't exist here.
