Fastlife91 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hello I would like to know what tool is required for me to replace the thermostat on my 2006 mk2 ford focus sport 1.8 TDCI I am a novice and have not gone to college or anything nor did a motor vehicle apprenticeship but I want to learn how to fix my car and I am buying tools . I notice the thermostat on my 2006 mk2 ford focus sport 1.8 TDCI requires some sort of star shaped perhaps torque of some kind to replace. it is very small star shape looking tool, what tool is required to take it off ?

GMX Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 The star shaped fastener is a TX (torx) headed bolt. Get yourself a 3/8th drive socket set and a set of 3/8" torx sockets Like these; https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/pro152-18pce-38-drive-socket-set/ https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-pro334-6-piece-38-drive-torx-bit-set/ If you haven't got one yet, you will find a Haynes manual invaluable as learn to fix your car, you need the Ford Focus diesel 2005-2009, which is Haynes No# 4807 manual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very fine tool indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
