hatter1999 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Hi Guys, my 1997 2.3 ghia was running cold, so i thought it could be the thermostat stuck open, I took housing off and no thermostat there at all :D !! So I now have a new thermostat to fit but don't know which way around to fit it :D , please help please!! B) Quote
marinabrid Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 thermostats are fitted so that the bottom end with the spring on fits into the block first and the top of the thermostat with the bridge on it sits inside the housing. dont forget the o ring. Quote

Steven.Langdale Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 When did the new stat arangement on th 2.3 come in???? Was it 98? On later models the stat is in the pipework, it's a metal cylinder with 3 pipes joining it. You cant miss it. check that. Steven Quote
