so it looks like i need one from a 3.0 auto v6 then, would it have to be an elite or could it be a gls, can't see the vehicle spec making a difference

Spec has nothing to do with stat, engine year is more imporant  :y

Has anyone got a Haynes manual which states what the torque settings are for the thermo housing.

All V6's use this:

Why do Vx dealers quote 'Thin' & 'Thick' flanged ones?  Newer ones thinner?  :-/


Seems that way .. when Pete/Daz did mine they had to find some slightly shorter bolts .. the originals would have "bottomed" before actually clamping anything ....  luckily they knew about this so did not even try ... appears you can do a lot of damage if you don't realise ...   :(

I got caught by that one  ::) screwed bolts in finger tight and they were nowhere near clamping the flange. Got a bottom tap out of the toolbox & carefully cleaned the threads before noticing the difference in flange thickness.

Ended up using solid washers with the original bolts. I did consider putting the wax capsule in the original housing but decided not to. I could have ground the ends off the bolts but was getting a bit fed up by then....

I just cut the bolts down....hence why I always get the thin flange variety as I can guarantee to finish the job
