Title: 20v n/a and turbo thermostats
Post by: jamie16v on 07 December 2010, 11:29

can anyone tell me the difference between the n/a and turbo thermostats?.. is it running temperature differences by any chance?..

the thermostats for BEH, AEH, AGN, AGU, AKL, APK. AQY, AQA, ARZ, AZH, AUM and AUQ are all the same bud. Which is basically every petrol engine from 1.6 - 2.0.

ah, interesting, went to halfrauds the other day (yeah i know its not oem and all that) and they listed a different one for the turbo but didnt stock it.. but i thought i could get away with using the n/a one as its practically the same block..

ah, dunno about halfords ones.. odd that they have different parts for them when etka lists only one part number.
