gates thermostat
#3
thanks  welshpug,

hows life in wrexham??

still waiting for a reply from gates ( they have not even come back over the crank pulley "problem " )....

the stat shown on europarts shows a bleed hole and jiggle pin, the one in the car from memory has a bleed hole and jiggle pin also......

so will bite the bullet and drill 2 ,  3mm holes in the flange so it can bleed air and allow the system to be filled.........

welshpug, with the 2 x 3mm holes mod, what temp does the engine now reach with normal, non hilly 60phh driving?? 80 ish or still sits at 70ish like what ours does on the old thermostate??
