Hi folks,

This weekend I decided to follow Leedsman's great idea/guide on fitting the second thermostat to my 2005 GV and it works great!

(See original thread here https://www.chryslerforum.com/forum/...rmostat-20480/

I did a how-to video on it too so if you want to give it a go, it's a nice and easy one to do:


Thanks once again to Leedsman for this solution!

 

Thanks Andy, brilliant video and a great help to us all. My 2.8 is warming up OK at the moment but you make the job look so easy in your great tutorial that I think I'll add another thermostat before the winter sets in.

I found an article where this mod works on the Rover 75 as well.

 

Fantastic, carried out this mod this evening - quick and easy fix thank you.

Yay!

I'm a consensual objector and happy with the real thermostat at back of engine that was fitted by my son nearly 5 years ago, with my direction of course. Son said he wouldn't go near my car again after that job due to the heated argument he had with it. But he calmed down quickly after white coats from the Looney House turned up. Got a real mechanic on the job now though..
But in all a really good idea to fit the thermostat in this place and I'm sure the dialogue will be in different languages by now.

 

I used this brilliant thermostat modification about 50.000 km ago and my temperature is still perfect.
happy happy joy joy

 

Hi,
Does anybody know the Renault model/part number for this thermostat, it seems to be a good fit.
Thanks
