Thermostat Housing

[Ready588]

Hey guys,

First time post here :) and new RS owner.

I just noticed the thermostat housing is leaking on my RS today. I know there’s discussions in the past about these regarding the ally ones which seem to command a high price tag, says there out of stock too.

Does anybody have any links to ones they’ve used before ? Pattern parts or anything that has been good ?

Also any tips when changing ? My mate just said “get some good sealant” lol he’s on his 4th apparently.

Cheers Jim

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on buying one of the best hot hatches available

I do know of several owners having this one fitted and no issues anymore:

Car looks very fresh, stunning!

Does it have the correct indicator bulbs fitted (front bumper)? They look very orange and lacking the blue finish as per original.

Thanks pal it’s a good one low mileage and very original, even has the original exhaust on.

Do you have a link or picture of what the proper bulbs are supposed to be ?

Cheers Jim

Google Osram Diadem 21W

Here's a link but it's a Dutch website, but you get the idea of what to look for
They have a blue/chrome finish (which is clearly visible when fitted) but they light up orange when in use.
