Thermostat change

pugcrew · 15th December 2017, 18:41

I am about to change the thermostat on my CDTi.

Having looked at various posts I understand that I need to jack the engine up by about 60mm to give access to the bolts.

Some post say that you only need to remove the upper engine mount to do this but others suggest that there is a lower engine mount that needs to be remove as well.

Is there one or two mounts that need to be removed??

Just the upper one is all you need to remove.

Is this yours?

That is one nice car

I hope the new owner will keep it in that condition, a credit to you.

Yes it is, well at least for the time being. I'd love to keep it but circumstances mean that I need something cheaper to run hence the CDTi

Thanks, should make it a bit easier but understand it can be a bit tricky.

BTW what antifreeze should I use if I replace this at the same time?
