jesterwalker69 0 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Is there a guide for sorting thermo housing on here?Just i need to replace mine and want as much info as pos before i break something!!Also, looking at pics in the past, other ppls thermo housings seem to have 3 senors on. Red one closest to coil pack, then blue then yellow (cant remember order of those two!). What is the first red one for? Mine doesnt have that, just a blanking cap there instead :S Link to post Share on other sites

Piper666 0 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 any ideas where to get a new housing from??as they are not listed on euro car parts or gsf. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 is very easy Ollie - take off the coilpack and should be obvious where the housing comes away from the block and the crack pipe -it's only three allen bolts to remove and then a few on the housing itself to undoe to get to the thermostat etc - just make sure you do it up tight and equally otherwise it won't sit tight against he block and will leak again If I can do it anyone can !!

craggsy 91 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 But dont do it up too tight as you can crack stat housing Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 yes mate that's about it - bought it from ebay as a complete replacement with the thermostat housing and crack pipe included.
