Justicevr6 0 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Doing a thermostat is quite a simple job to do albeit a bit fiddly, it is located under the coil pack,when you buy a thermostat make sure you get the housing rubber gassket as well as the thermostat one.

Dubsingh 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 cheers what are people views on removing the thermostat tottaly? i know the car will take longer to warm up but that shudnt be a problem.....i did it on my valver and it ran trouble free....i reckon this should aid running the car a bit cooler due to the supercgharger....

silverline 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 the car may not reach its proper running temp with the thermostat removed poss causing the cold start injectors to continue running so your engine will run rich. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubsingh 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 hmmm this will only happen while the engine takes time to reach the temp required.... i am going to try and do something cleaver....will try and locate the thermostat in line so easier to change (summer/winter)....... ? the themostat seems to be at the end of the bottom hose not the top one as some threads seem to indicate.....has ne one got a picture of this are...mines ODB1 dizzy not coil.....
