THERMOSTAT QUESTION B230 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Tue Jan 10 04:42 CST 2023 [RELATED]

There are several thermostats for the 240's - 91, 88, 81 Degree C. I understand that thats when they begin to open. But, do they control the final stabilized operating temperature after car is completely warmed up?

In theory, once they are full open they should all allow the same flow - but I may be wrong. The various ones just control how fast it stabilizes?

During warm up my gauge climbs to about 10 o'clock then slowly settles to 9:30 position. Would a lower temp thermostat get it to 9 o'clock?

Thanks
