Water thermosensor Universal ?!!!!!

Hello,

Looking to replace my water thermosor. Looks to be some grimey build up around the area where it is located so im sensing it does not work properly...

Is it ok just to go to Canadian tire in get a thermostat or does it have to be specifically a thermostat for a 93 mazda rx7 yada yada.??

Not really.

I would recommend using an OEM replacement. Many people have had bad luck with the Autozone/NAPA type replacements.

For both parts, just get OEM. Saving $10-30 is not worth the risk of what would happen if the cheap parts fail.

Don't try to run the car without a thermostat. You've been warned twice now.
