Thermostat temps?

Thermostat temps?
Looking at FCPEuro's web site, I see that there are 87 C, 90 C and 92 C thermostats for my car. I don't know what temp is in there now but the temp gauge never past vertical and is usually half a tick below that. I'm thinking that a 92 C thermostat will let my heater keep my toes warmer and also possibly provide more fuel efficiency.

Yeah, it was painful. The shop bought it from Volvo and insisted that their computer could program it. They couldn't get it working so they paid to tow it to Volvo and paid for the programming. Still expensive.
I looked at a video of how to change out the new style t-stat and I wouldn't want to mess with it. I really wonder why they change things like that.

Nice weather yesterday so I replaced my thermostat with the 92C one. Amazingly easy to do. I clamped off the hose to the expansion tank so it wouldn't try to drain out.
The temp gauge indicates about a half a tick higher than it used to. I'll have to wait for cold weather to see if it makes a difference for keeping my toes warm.
