ok thermostat from dealers is 20 and will come in tomorrow morning which is no good as I wont be able to work on the car till Monday evening. GSF is around 8 and I will most probably get that today so I could get it fitted this evening. are the gsf one really crp and should I definetly stay away. Its just that it would be nice to get the new stat in and test the car over the weekend.
i found out the hard way to sometimes it's not wurth saving a thou pound me to my one is on it's last legs
if it was me i would just wait and get the vw one it will be less greaf in the long run i burst 3 pipes in a week with a duff thermostat once
Did you try swapping the sender yet? Maybe clean out the oil cooler? Take the rad off and backflush it with a hose?
Im going to pick up a new rad for 27+vat it was cheap so thought Id change it anyway. Have not changed the sender yet only reason being is because both water temp and oil temp correlate. How do I clean out the oil cooler as I have noticed one of the small pipes had a bit of coolant crust on the end of it, no sign of leaking but just a bit of crust.
