replacing thermostat on 93 paj

Post by DUDELUX »

i have to replace the thermostat on the paj, 93 model, 3.0lt v6.
is it just a basic bolt on/ bolt off thing or is there fiddling around to be done. i did a search but couldnt find an answer.
thanks

don't go heavy handed when tightening the bolts back up. the alloy can strip if tightened up too much. i think the torque is about 14nm.
Also clean the bolt threads up if they come out rusty and crappy. Makes them easier to screw back in.
