Posted July 25, 200816 yr I rekon my stat is knackered as it keeps overheating so would like to change it before the drive to silverstone. Anyone who has changed it, roughly how long does it take to do (on your own and with not a great deal of mechanical savy )?
July 25, 200816 yr Depends mate, proper way with draining coolant etc shouldnt be much more than an hour max for your first time? This will include bleeding coolant system and everything. 20 mins if you know what your doing, not withstanding rounding off the thermo housing screws! Read up on it though as theres one or two things you have to do right or you will overheat even with a new thermostat. Edited July 25, 200816 yr by cherrybeard
July 25, 200816 yr 10 - 20 mins if you know what your doing, first time i did one on a 'scort took me about an hour
