Continental adds thermostats to its aftermarket range

Continental is launching a comprehensive range of thermostats in OEM quality. Four product groups will be made available, replacement, cartridge, housing and map-controlled thermostats. These will be launched under the Continental brand name for the first time. 


The thermostat range offer good immediate coverage with a total of 180 part numbers giving a market coverage of 70% at launch, with this figure expected to approach 90% in the course of 2022. 

Peter Wagner, Head of the Automotive Aftermarket business segment at Continental commented, “We’re systematically moving forward with the expansion of our portfolio and strengthening the Continental brand. Adding thermostats to our aftermarket product range is yet another step toward our vision of offering workshops everything from a single source.” 

Having already introduced air and oil filter systems, wipers and belt drive components to its product portfolio under the Continental brand, the company is now continuing its path towards a full portfolio with thermostats.

Florian Seifert, the Continental Product Manager responsible for thermostats in the aftermarket said, “Despite their different designs, the thermostats all have the same job: they ensure the right operating temperatures in the combustion engine. So, you’re making sure the engine is providing its power as demanded by the gas pedal.” 

Continental’s new thermostats are maintenance-free, ensuring low-wear and reliable operation of the engine. The range offers standard thermostats with matching sealing rings (usually used as replacements), plus a wide range of cartridge thermostats with matching sealing sets for installation in intact housings and engine components. Continental has included standard and cartridge thermostats with matching housings in the third product group. These replacement sets comply fully with OE specifications in terms of quality, exact fitting, form and function, as do the sets of the fourth product group, the map-controlled thermostats. Electronically controlled, these thermostats ensure that the engine reaches its operating temperature faster. Continental’s strict OE standards were also applied to these devices.
