Then they add postage of around £6, but you can choose next day for around 10
Still cheap for a fix
Ah ok. I think I had cheap postage. With other stuff as well
Yes they will combine postage, I have used euro car parts for years.recently brought all my pads from them.
GSF want £70
just got it in a pot of boiling water but cant see which part supposed to move
theres a ball valve pressure release thing on there i can only blow one way as the other end is open... dont really know which way the water flows throught the stat.. its worth testing it... i have picked the gasket out but suspect i will have to get a new one as dont want torisk losing water from a ferked gasket...
The part that sticks out goes into the water jacket, it goes right through and covers a hole which leads through to an inner part of the jacket, once open in allows full circulation of the water, when closed the engine runs a kind of short curcuit
Looking at it from the back, water flows through the side that had the thermostat
So it goes through the stat and the open other end is the outlet
Make sure you buy one WITH the casket as some eBay ones don't have them
Euro car part one has the gasket
It is defo stuck, it's a real common problem with the M44, your symptoms are identical to mine exempt mine is stuck even further open
the seat of the stat opens and i can blow through it no prob run cold water through it and it closes... hmmmmm
You may have freed it removing it
What I noticed with mine is, with it still in situ, it will allow air through in one direction ( the direction of the water flow) but then closes when blowing air the opposite way. But it is still stuck. Doesn't make any sense until you factor in the part that sticks out and have a look when it goes.
its prob that bypass ball valve thing i think that maybe a one way valve.
Yes I think it is, it may still be heat actuated I wait a sec, I will have a look at mine which is new.
OK, the part you are looking at is also heat actuated, it has a small hole to allow the bleeding of air, the flat washer looking part is the inner part, this also is heat actuated and is the part most likely to stick, unless the part you are playing gets cap under it maybe
