2.2 Thermostat Assembly....Part No. :  90501081 This is the VX Part Number for the complete assembly. 92deg C. thermostat can be purchased seperately and fitted in the existing housing if money is an issue but tbh, you are better off buying the whole gubbins :y
The Torque values for the thermostat housing to engine block are: 15Nm/11lbf ft. Hth :y
