Henny 0 Posted July 11, 2004 one's for the air-con... can't help you on location on a VR 'cos I've never done one on a VR before.... :? On a G60 it's on the inside left right edge of the radiator (as you look at the car from the front) about half way down the rad... It's a BIG brass nut looking thing with a 3 pin multiplug attached to it.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Winter 0 Posted July 12, 2004 The thermostat housing is not hard to replace. You dont need to remove the rad. Just take the coil pack off and go from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 12, 2004 Before you put the new stat in, test it in boiling water first as I've picked up a dodgy one in the past. It should open fully within 15 seconds. Better to *know* it works before putting it in, rather than finding out later. And always fill the coolant up via the rad hose and not the expansion tank. This is *critical*.

mariovr6 0 Posted July 12, 2004 firstly thanks i changed the fan switch n the fan now comes on when it should aint really driven it long but it did cut in, so hope it dont boil over again? as for the thermostat i cant get them 2 lil bolts off they are stuck so i put all the pipes back... the upper rad hose heats up much faster then the lower one, upper one HOT lower one cold , after 10 mins lower 1 heated up alot more... is this a problem with the thermostat ??? also cheers i did put coolent throu the rad hose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
