V8 Vantage thermostat options
Discussion
It's time to flush the coolant in my 2007 V8 Vantage, and I figured I'd do the thermostat at the same time after reading about various stories of the rubber coming apart and either sticking the thermostat open, or getting sucked into the system. I don't think any of it has been changed yet.
My distillation of this thread seems to indicate that Ford upgraded the design of this thermostat at some point to prevent the rubber from coming off. So:
1) Aston part is 6G43-32-10449.
2) Jaguar part AJ811788 is the same as the OEM Aston thermostat.
3) The upgraded part is sold as Ford 2W9Z-8575-AB or Mastercraft RT1163.
Can anyone corroborate this info?
