thermostat, new one needed?

inneedofhelp · 29th July 2008, 17:32

hi all,
coolant started pouring out today. looks like the thermostat housing has cracked.
my question is:
is this a complete sealed unit?
anyone know where i can get a replacement and approximate cost?
cheers

Hi Steve
You need to fill in more details on your Avtar about yourself & your car!!!!
Is is petrol or diesel & what CC etc.

Welcome to the club BTW

We're in Colwyn Bay, where are you?

Just clicked on your name, now see you have the KV6 2.5 litre.
Someone will be along soon.
I just do cooling fans etc

It is a sealed unit,approx cost £22........Xpart dealers

inneedofhelp · 29th July 2008, 17:50

thanks for that. looked like a sealed unit.
looked at xpart, seems like it is £22.00 for the thermosat and £17.00 for the housing

The parts needed for replacing stat etc on a KV6

Pipe PEP101970
Pipe PEP103270
Clips 2 PYC101320
Stat (inc Housing) PEM101050

Have included the pipes cos I understand that in getting the old stat off the pipes can break.

If you dont have a local X Part dealer handy try Rimmer Bos in Lincoln (X Part Dealers anyway) who do a great postal service.

Just say you are doing a R 75 KV6 thermostat and they will do the rest.
