Volvo 8149182 is the sleeve type cooling system thermostat: a steel sleeve with a four spoke end plate and a central sensing element. It is used on Volvo D12 engines. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.
The same part is also sold as Volvo 1544683 and Volvo 1676306.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Applications & use cases
Engine running cold
A thermostat stuck open lets coolant bypass the warm-up stage: the temperature gauge stays low, the heater blows cool and fuel use goes up. Fit a new thermostat before the engine wears from running cold.
Engine overheating
A thermostat stuck closed stops coolant reaching the radiator and the engine overheats within minutes under load. Check the coolant level, fan belt and radiator first, then the thermostat.
Test before fitting
Heat the thermostat in water with a thermometer: it should start to open close to its rated temperature and open fully a little above it. Fit it the right way round, with the sensing end towards the engine.
Fitting tips
Drain the coolant below the housing, clean both faces, fit a new seal or gasket, and refill and bleed the cooling system to the machine's specification before running it up to temperature.
