Post by: iwannacarthatworks on 18 July 2007, 18:33:28

Genuine part £28.25 +vat. Doing mine at end of week along with long awaited cam cover gasket & leads & coolant change. Good luck, mine should be easier as i will have plenum & wiper scuttle removed.

Behind drivers side bank of cylinders - it has 3 coolant pipes and a small vacuum pipe...

Ive just completed mine, its fairly easy with the scuttle removed......takes about 5 mins to actually change....

Good luck.

Changed mine on the 2.6 this afternoon, removed the wiper mechanism to improve access, hardest part is removing the hose clips. Surprisingly easy.
