Default Is their methodology good science?

Are they looking at temps for sure as the coolant temp sensor sees it? Why are they looking at temps as the climate control sees it and is this the same unmodified temp signal?

Default Will absolutely let everyone know what Behr says officially

I specifically asked for a quotable statement from Behr in Germany. I let them know that there were concerns from Audi TT owners about the specs of the aftermarket version of the 1.180.87 thermostat.

Default Yeah, I said, 'You've got to be kidding!"

When I asked why, he said that it was necessary because they varied the thermostat with build date. I would have cried bulsh!t, but today wasn't the day to argue.
