Mi16 coolant thermostat

[engine killer 6]

Hello, I am looking for a new coolant thermostat for my Mi16 1.9.  As I cannot access the Service Box anymore probably due to I am not located in UK, Can anyone shed me a light is there any thermostat the switch point is a bit lower than normal 85-89 degree Celsius?  Is 70ish degree celsius ever exist?

Thanks

you would not want one that low, 83 to 89 degrees is the efficiency window for most 4 stroke engines, petrol or diesel.  thats why the xu and xud engines run 83 or 89 degree thermostats, that is the point they are fully open btw, they start opening before this.

 

go too low and the oil is too thick and the ecu will not come off cold start map.
