Would you guys go OEM on the thermostat and coolant or should eurocarparts ones be ok? There were 2 different ones, one for 17 quid and one for 10 quid and he actually said he's heard good things about the 10 quid one. I'll go oem if the aftermarket ones are generally crap though

Thanks.

I fitted an ecp stat last year and it failed in less than 2 weeks. I complained to Ecp and got 5l of free coolant a refund. The coolant will go in the other halfs fiat 500, it's not going anywhere near the golf.
