      Had the thermostat stick open....and of course poor heat. OEM part number 96980318 was what was installed in the car I replaced with new GM 9698410. Some improvements in design.

      Not sure on the Cruze but it's the OEM 2012 sonic stat...the sonic 1.8 seems to be mostly Aveo 1.6 parts many are the same. Coil, Throttlebody, camshaft positions sensors at least the intake is the same...the 1.8 a revamped 1.6 imo. I have a 2012 Sonic Throttlebody coming this week, will install and post side by sides. Identical operating temp on the stat, but may be a tad slower on warm up, got cold here so I can't tell for sure.

      Well I will not say the same...these Sonic parts are better quality of what I have ordered thus far.
