Hi Simon. The poster has got a 1.8 not a 2.5v6.

I took that to refer to temperatures not engine type, however, would there be any interest in the procedure I used to replace the thermostat? I did some searching through the forums, but could not find anything specific to 1.8 thermostat replacement.

Yes, thanks Dave, hence my reference to 104˚ not 100˚ in my last post.

1.8 running temperatures
Quote:
The new hose was purchased from Rimmer Bros, with a short plastic joiner at the bottom (P clip end) with a small diameter hose leading back up to the header tank. Did not take it apart to check, but it did look like a PRT. Placed my old heat shield onto the new hose; the press clips were broken/came apart,; it now has fencing ties to hold it in place If considered relevant, I will record my method of thermostat change on the 1.8. |

My 1.8t has a PRT fitted and runs steady at 87 degrees, on long down hill sections it drops to 81, and up a steep hill will rise to 89. In stationary traffic it rises to 92.

Just added up the cost- £284.70 including VAT, if all hoses and T pieces were purchased. £85.20 of that is for one single hose. The total is almost the cost of a stainless steel exhaust, which I’d rather have. I may consider a change to an 82c thermostat instead. But first I will have the fan speeds checked out instead of risking overheating by trying to get them to cut in myself. If they are okay and cut in at about 104c, then I shall accept that this engine runs at 93c. Later this week I begin to dismantle and re-build a Standard Diesel engine-a different ball game altogether. |
