there is a small hole in the t-stat with a wiggle plug in it. it is designed to let air flow through to avoid an air lock. it wiggles to break up air bubbles and avoid a blockage.

 

assuming you are using a 'subaru' t-stat, as long as the long side goes up, into the water pump you'll be good.

thanks . yeah , i had the t'stat in already and its in correctly , i was just pondering the wiggler . i've wondered it before . like i said maybe i'm just stupid .

It is also called the Jiggler Valve.

That's what I've always called it too; the jiggle valve. Funny that there's a part on your care called a jiggle valve =P
