1985 EA82T thermostat housing idle air control housing

Featured Replies

Hello,

I'm looking for the thermostat housing / idle air control housing for a 1985 GL-10 with EA82T engine.  See photo.  It's a discontinued item.  

  • Please share any good sources for used Subaru parts
  • Let me know of any workarounds for separating the thermostat housing from the idle air control.  Subaru went to a standard thermostat cover and a separate idle air control widget on later models.  I'm guessing I could switch to different parts and still get accurate idle air control.

Thank you!

I disconnected mine totally, electrically and air wise from intake system. Takes a bit more effort to warm up. Might be hard to get a wrecker interested in parting with such a small value item

I've read a couple of threads of people using Bosch ones to fit early VW Golf models instead. These are still available.

Belated thank you for the help.  I made a JB Weld repair that seems to be successful.  I now have options thanks to your help 🙂
