jamboken77 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I've just taken my Focus 2001 1.8LX to the garage after a coolant leak. They have diagnosed it as a leak into the thermostat housing and have said I'll need a new housing. They have quoted £86 from Ford, which seems about right, seen them for £72 but I just want it sorted. On top of this though, they have put £72 fitting on top, this seems a bit excessive. How easy is it to fit yourself? They are fitting it this afternoon, so a quick reply would be much appreciated. I'm just glad it wasn't the head gasket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad it wasn't the head gasket its easy to fit but then you will need new coolant added and to make sure theres no airlocks etc for the hassle they are as well doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
