The Max-Cooling Upgrade Kit is offered in dedicated variants for KZN130, KZN185 and KDN185 (1KZ-TE and 1KD-FTV 3.0L diesel), and for LN130 (2L \/ 3L diesel). Pick the variant that matches your engine code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eShould I choose the 82°C or 71°C thermostat?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 82°C unit is factory spec and what we recommend for most owners. Choose the 71°C unit if you regularly tow heavy loads, live somewhere hot, or your Surf already runs warmer than ideal, as it opens earlier and keeps the engine cooler under sustained load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this kit fit the V6 5VZ-FE Surf?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 5VZ-FE V6 uses a different fan hub design, so this kit does not suit it. The Max-Cooling Upgrade Kit is for the 1KZ-TE and 1KD-FTV 3.0L diesels and the LN130 2L \/ 3L diesels. If you are running a V6, reply with your model and year and we will point you at the right cooling parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I install this kit myself?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The kit is designed for DIY install. The 10-blade fan is a direct bolt-on swap, the viscous hub oil top-up takes a few minutes with the fan removed, and the thermostat is a standard cooling-system replacement. Plan for 1-2 hours and have fresh coolant on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does the 100-day cooler engine guarantee cover?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall the kit and drive your Surf normally, up hills, towing, in summer heat. If you don't see meaningfully cooler running temps within 100 days, return the items in original condition and we will refund the purchase price. This guarantee applies to the kit components, not consumables like coolant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Will this Max-Cooling kit fit my KZN185 3rd Gen Surf?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes.
