Good deal!
I also changed it a month and a half ago - exactly the same (TAMA), this particular model, and I also had to buy a ring (the old one got wet, but I didn’t want to pull the bolts because I already know how it could end).
There were no particular complaints about the old one, except for the case when a laden person fell into an 800-meter pass with air conditioning and noticed that the temperature arrow went down a little (!) I remembered that I bought a thermostat about 5 years ago (it turned out that it wanders from car to car ), so I decided to change for prevention. Along the way, I flushed the entire cooling system, which was actually the main event.
In general, if the stove, evaporator, and others like it are not clogged, Africa will indeed be in the cabin.
hot winter in your car) and what would blow hot, blow through the radiator and see how the dampers open.
The main suspicions go to the stove radiator, it looks like it is clogged from the inside, because of this, the antifreeze does not pass through it well (the inlet tube warms up slowly), and the outlet is always cold, respectively. Residual heat is blown off by a fan. An autopsy will show

After cleaning the radiator, it seemed to get a little better, but I didn’t really have time to feel it, because. sold the car 2 weeks after this procedure.
what did the radiator reveal? I also get warm for a very long time (the thermostat changed) and it’s cool from where it blows at my feet,
