Hello,

i have a 2003 (2004 in the US) 986S MT.

The PET says that there is a thermostat with a separate housing available. Part number is 996 106 125 52.

The after market thermostats seems always to come as a unit with housing and insert. For example the Wahler ones.

Can somebody confirm that the OEM thermostat is 2 separate parts - thermostat housing and thermostat insert itself. And that the thermostat insert part is swappable while you keep the old housing.

Thanks & regards
Markus
