soulman123 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have a friend with a stcking thermostat and he asked if he can get away with a eurocarparts stat, are the 1.8 engines fussy about this ? as I know they prefer genuine parts like plugs, ht leads etc just wondeirng if the same goes for the stat ? When I did mine I used a genuine one about £12 more than the £9 euro one! fit like a glove never missed a beat since. Plus £2 odd quid for the seal which doesn't come with it from ford. I was told I should change the housing aswell but thats mighty expensive and had no issue, I think its a common fault on the focus a leak housing but mines been fine. I was careful doing the bolts up no the crack it. I think they warp or something. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 They housings can be prone to warping but I would risk it for a while until it becomes a problem - if it ever does. I can't answer your question regarding the thermostat but personally I would rather have a genuine one with a genuine seal for peace of mind if nothing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
