hello guys, 1.8 kseries cooling question again! i got sent the wrong prt and hose assembly, the grey one instead of the cream one, and wondered if someone a little more clued up can tell if i can just take out the elbow piece that's extra on the grey one ,and use it anyway... will the 6 degree difference and lighter spring s in the prt help knacker my engine?
cheers guys

so can i just take that whole elbow piece out and use the old hose? just i can't see where the extra small fitting would attach to otherwise...

if it isn't long enough you can refit and block the outlet pipe.

good luck let us know how you get on

well... i've never done anything like that on my own before, am i a grown up now or just a mug with a dog of a car

seriously though it was easy to do and the car runs MUCH better than with no thermostat at all, shocking hey! thank you for the help,I'm sure i'll be back for more soon!
