eupho Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 Usual problem, no manual for V6 so am not sure where to find the thermostat. Haynes states for other models that it is under battery somewhere, is this still the case. I have posted for some time re my V6 not starting, have spent much time under the bonnet to no avail. Took the most recent advice from a member(Wolfie)towed it to Fords and by lunch time it was done and washed for us ! Cost just Quote
insider Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 The thermostat housing is bolted to the cylinder head (3 bolts) but you'll need to remove the battery cover to get at it. Quote
sepulchrave Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) errrr, no it's not. It's down on the side of the engine block just above the bellhousing. There are three coolant sensors in a row and the actual thermostat housing is just below this held on with a couple of allen screws. It's a bit tight in there so you may need to remove the entire multipart thermoplastic assembly if it leaks (which it will). Edited August 3, 2007 by sepulchrave Quote
dipsomaniac Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 you will also need to remove the coil pack. have a look in the FAQ's as the removal of the thermostat on the v6 has been covered. Quote
