My old thermostat was a 180 F waller, which I believe is the porsche OEM. I replaced it with a 160 F beck-arnley, which seems to work well, with my temp gauge running at 1/4 now, previously it was at 1/2. I think the 160 F temperature is best.
I used the automotion snap ring device, and it worked ok, once the pin tips were securely engaged. I think next time I will try the modified angle needle nose plier technique. I left the fan assembly in place, and while it was not an easy job to perform, it was easier than some other cars on which I have worked.
