I've always liked Wix products which is middle of the road in these tests...but lean towards Mahle... cheers!

Whenever the engine is revved up above idle, the heat will kick on, when you stop at a light and idle the engine, the heat goes to cold. I'm having thoughts of the thermostat being the culprit, but the gauge stays right in the middle, and again...this only happens at idle. Any ideas on this? The car only has 40k miles, so I wouldn't think it would be something like a heater core.
