Oil t-stat. URO vs Sebro/Porsche

Anyone have opinion on after market oil t-stat?

Our host sells URO for ~$200.00 less than the OEM.

When I added an external 'stat to my car, I bought a used one and a rebuilt kit. No issues.

I tried with a URO unit but had issues (in shared thread). I ended up going through the pain of opening my original unit and rebuilding it. In hindsight, it might be worth the $450 to just buy a new OE unit and install it. Depends on your appetite for fighting old crusty parts. Rebuilding your old T-stat can be a process...

I hate doing anything twice.

Buy quality parts.

Do it right. Do it once
