where the bloody hell is this thing in a v6
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Series 2 are at the frontdepends on the v6
ecotec is right n front of your face
the others are right down the back and a prick to get too
its under/near the throttlebody..its got a hose going to it and it has 1 bolt holding it down..its a series one so where in the back are they anyone got any pix
In a nutshell.. Its a device that blocks the flow of coolant until your car hits a certain temperature then it opens and allows the coolant to flow.. They put these in cars to allow them to get to operating temperature quickly to save fuel. On most older cars they are stuck open meaning it takes longer to get to operating temp and poor heater temps... Also the car uses a bit more fuel, as the ecu dumps more fuel on a cold engine.waht does this ting do anyway
