Post by Coloz on Jul 18^th, 2007, 5:14pm

im hoping someone can help me ???i have a small split in the themostat housing on my p reg 2.3l. the housing appears to be plastic. Is this a seperate part and easily fixed?or is it a part of the intake manifold :(

I'm affraid it is part of the manifold :(

If it's only a small split them you could try repairing it with 'Quik- Steel'. I repaired mine a few months back & it's still holding. The trick is to repair it on the inside first & then patch up the outside ;)
