A VW part. The one with 2 valves in it.

Pried one valve off to make it vent into the atmosphere.

No.

Yes. Replaced the OEM 87°C with a 78°C.

Warms up slower, overheats less. BUT I still was able to make the temp 
buzzer/picture in the comp display go bananas this past Sunday when I and 
Unka Bart ran my 200 and his 911 back to back on the narrow off-camber 
twisties in the hills of rural MD. That was about 30 min worth of driving 
in 3rd @ 6000rpm @ 90mph. Yes, mucho abuse.

Yes. It's 5 y.o.
