Does anyone know where the thermostat housing is on a rev2 turbo? My mate did tell me, but I can't see it. Has anyone got a photo? Also will a rev3 thermostat fit a rev2? If not which one do I need, cos place that I rang to order said there's two different types and to bring me old one in to get a match, but don't wanna do that cos it's not really practical!! Plus I don't know where it is yet! Lol. Dave. Rev2 unit is the smaller of the two Big help. Dave. went to change it and it looks a right pig to do it.. I'm sure a Rev2 owner will be along shortly to give some advice on how its best tackled. really need to no how to tackle it need a responce asap as got tools ready?? had to remove the oil filter. just had enough room to get the spanner on it. wierd thing is that it didnt have a thermostat as half of it was cut away. only enough to keep the coolant thermostat housing. top half of the thermostat was there with the O Ring seal and the bottom bit with spring was not even in there. top half of the thermostat look like it been cut apart. any good tips on bleeding it in the system Pain in the ar$e, the whole job took me 8 friggin hours, I had some rad flush aswell so had to drain it fill it bleed it twice and aswell as that, I took the dipstick off the thermostat housing to manage to get it out and then trying to bolt dipstick back on I took the dipstick out of it's housing to make life easier...oh no!! Pulled all of it out of the block, then the o-ring at end of dipstick housing fell apart when I wiped it clean, then it wouldn't fit back in properly, so of course it didn't line up right to get bolt back in, so just cable tied the sodding thing for now. It's shaped like a dogs leg so u can't get any pressure on it to push it in, so only lord knows how I'm gunna get it back in once I've got a new o-ring, possibly off with the oil filter again?!
