Thermostat
On the Gates site I could only find 14089 which specified 188 F which converted gives 86.6 C
They list another:- 33019 - 195F = 90.55C The dimensions look similar but there are no illustrations

recently discovered this by accident when I thought I had topped up too much. It was good to meet Kaiser in JHB last Sunday and to Pick up one of his hand built metal thermostats. Cheers Kaiser Phil |

http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...artnum=TH01489 This is the one i (eventually) correctly ordered, when it arrived it had 88f stamped into the copper end of the thermostat However, since fitting, the coolest the engine has run at is 86, even just idling on the driveway the car shows 89 on the obd (i think thats what its called) I have only ever seen the temp go to 86 whilst coasting down a hill, normal driving it will show between 88 and 91 I hope this helps |

Again, probably somewhere in the 11 pages. The gates thermostat on order.......which way round does it go in the hose?. Haven't taken a look yet under the hood to find which way the water flow is or doesn't it really matter? Would have thought the bulb should be upstream of the flow?
