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

Another wonderful job to look forward too eh

as long as you have a good set of torx sockets 3/8 drive not too bad to get to once you have removed the top hose !!

I just got a kit with a couple of o rings in it.  The housing and transfer pipe wasn't included. The tranfer pipe and housing got stuck on mine and had to be broken out but luckily someone at the cambelt party had a spare.

Is this the pipe that comes out to the passenger side? and you can get thermostat, O rings and tranfer pipe for 20 quid? expected it to be far more than that!!

I would have thought they would be far more expensive than £20 :-?

One way to check if the stat is stuck open.......is to start from cold and let it idle while you feel the top rad hose......if it gradually warms up...stat knackered......if it stays cold and suddenly gets hot.....stat ok  

[Dazzler]

I was told at Vx that the stat was £36 as it is built into the stat housing :-/

I will try that Dave cheers

It's definitely not built in. Mine came in a little cardboard box. It just sits in the housing but doesn't come fixed in.

H21 can relate chapter and verse on this job. If the transfer pipe is seized into the side of the housing it is a b****r to free, because of restricted access, and on Kate's car it had to be broken to remove it separately from the actual housing. The thermostat was missing from Kate's, causing most of her problems.
 Do not remove the hose from the end of the transfer pipe initially, or loosen the housing bolts, as this provides the only really decent purchase to pull the pipe out towards the passenger side.
With any luck, Kate's job was an unusually difficult example.
Make sure the new transfer pipe to housing joint is well made on reassembly otherwise you'll be doing the whole job again.

Sounds like a stat.  Wondering if we need a stat changing party, as thats the only thing I can think of for my coolant leak now

I'm up for that
