    Default Thermostat Housing.

    Hey there people.

    Just a question on where to find the thermostat housing on a supercharged six... It's got me stumped! I've read the manual but not having much luck...

    Any help is appreciated, so thanks in advance!

    Ditto, hence the conundrum. Thanks for the reply.... hmmm... in my case the top radiator hose is connected to the bleeder screw which in turn connects directly to a black steel pipe which follows somewhere aroung to the rear of the block, unsure what's wrong here. Any ideas anyone?

    Have you tried taking the engine cover off and looking along the LHS (right as you look at it) of the engine?

    It's at the back of the engine. Follow the top radiator hose, it connects to a metal pipe that winds its way around the back of the engine, then there will be a U shaped hose that connects to the housing.

    Very hard to reach, good luck
