freddy_t 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Just wondering, going about replacing thermostat on my '93 VR6. Do I have to change the housing aswell or can I get away with just replace thermostat and gasket? Many thanks Fred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2corrados 0 Posted October 19, 2006 depends how easy it comes apart. Mine was ok, but it is easier to remove the whole housing to do it. There is a guy on ebay who regularly sells new housings for about £10 plus p and p Good luck Dic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted October 20, 2006 The new housing is less than £25 from VW. If its original its probably worth replacing. I've seen a couple that have just fallen apart with age. If you going to the hassle of taking it off anyway and it looks shabby at all then I'd change it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
