Title: Thermostat housing for 1.3
Post by: Mooinstor on December 20, 2025, 01:06:09 PM
Hello,

I've recently replaced the radiator on my car and while the system was drained I had a look at the thermostat housing and noticed the return hose from the air inlet was just a dummy port.

A while ago I got myself a second engine of the same engine code 2g and looking at the thermostat housing on this engine the air inlet ports are open.

The part in my car is a Febi "18248 8624" which from a quick search is a part for a 1g engine? and the part on the second engine is a HHK "030121117".

My question is, is the housing thats been on my car correct or should I swap it for the one on the second engine?


Thank you!
