cjlipps, Thanks for pointing it out to me. I guessed it was bad but was not sure. After the replacement the engine temperature climbs to 87C just after 2 miles, which is supposed to be, right? It remains at 87C all the time except for stop-and-go traffic, which is about 90-95C.

I am adding another pic of the bad thermostat, the gasket was torn a little bit because I had to pry it out with a hook.

BMG, can you see the pix now? perhaps after refreshing your browser?
