FEBI Bilstein 23592 Thermostat Housing Screw

The FEBI Bilstein 23592 is a precision-engineered screw designed specifically for the thermostat housing of a wide range of Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat vehicles. This single-piece component delivers reliable performance in demanding automotive environments.

Key Technical Specifications

• Thread Size: M7
• Length: 20 mm
• Material: High-strength alloy steel, heat-treated for durability.
• Finish: Zinc-plated or black oxide (depending on OEM specification) to resist corrosion and wear.
• Load Capacity: Designed to withstand the thermal expansion and mechanical stresses typical of engine coolant systems.

Vehicle Compatibility

The 23592 screw is engineered for a broad spectrum of models, ensuring seamless integration with existing engine assemblies. Commonly supported vehicles include:

• Volkswagen Golf II (19E, 1G1)
• Polo Coupe (86C, 80)
• Polo Schrägheck (86C, 80)
• Jetta II (19E, 1G2, 165)
• Polo Classic (86C, 80)
• Additional models: Audi, Skoda, Seat, and other OEMs that share the same thermostat housing architecture.

Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Clean the mating surfaces of the thermostat housing and bolt head to remove oil, dirt, or old threadlocker residue.
2. Thread Engagement: Align the screw with the pre-drilled hole. Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer’s recommended value (typically 5–7 Nm for M7 bolts).
3. Tightening Sequence: Tighten in a cross-pattern if multiple screws are present, ensuring even load distribution.
4. Final Check: Verify that the screw is fully seated and that no play exists between the housing and the bolt head.

Performance Benefits

• Consistent Torque Retention: The alloy steel construction resists loosening under vibration, maintaining a secure seal over extended periods.
• Corrosion Resistance: Zinc plating or black oxide finish protects against coolant and environmental exposure.
• Thermal Stability: Designed to endure temperature fluctuations from engine start-up to full operating heat without compromising structural integrity.

Quality Assurance

The 23592 screw undergoes rigorous testing in accordance with OEM specifications. Each batch is inspected for dimensional accuracy, thread profile consistency, and material hardness. This ensures that every unit delivers the same level of reliability as the original factory part.

Why Choose FEBI Bilstein?

• OEM Compatibility: Matches the exact dimensions and tolerances required by Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat engines.
