the thermostats for BEH, AEH, AGN, AGU, AKL, APK. AQY, AQA, ARZ, AZH, AUM and AUQ are all the same bud. Which is basically every petrol engine from 1.6 - 2.0.

ah, interesting, went to halfrauds the other day (yeah i know its not oem and all that) and they listed a different one for the turbo but didnt stock it.. but i thought i could get away with using the n/a one as its practically the same block..
