Okay I've done that now but taken the 2 bolts holding the plastic cover where the hose connects in and I can't get it off? Don't really want to break it, any ideas? |

well there are three bolts for a reason. I wouldn't risk running it with two but you might get away with it.________________________________________ 1990 205 GTI-6 |

The thermostat has a rubber seal around the edge this is what the plastic housing seals against, no need for any sealer mate.Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.
