Thermostat!
« on: 09 March 2008, 19:25:44 »
Drove around 50 miles today and the temperature gauge sat at 85 degrees, until I sat in traffic for a while then it went up to 95, then back down to 85 once moving again.... I suspect either the thermostat is stuck open or someone has removed it at sometime..
Does that sound like thermostat problems to you??
Does anyone know what I actually need to do the job completely, and also how much the parts are gonna cost me!

I have looked in the Maintence Section for a how to but there doesn't seem to be one, so I may have to get my camera out and notebook this next week whilst I am doing it :y

I doubt if the stat has been removed as its integral to the housing on the V6's :-/

Does anyone know what I have to do?

Take off Plenum and inlet manifold, I know the thermostat is just infront of the Oil Cooler Plate, so do i just have to undo the couple of bolts holding it down or are there more things in need of undoing?

Plus any ideas how much the thermostats are?

transfer pipe I heard is a bugger...  ...the bastard bolt and all that.  And probably find the transfer pipe is seized.

Had mine done by hotel21 at the cambelt party. The stat cost me £10.

When the housing was removed the stat was missing.

The housing is situated in the V if thats any help!
