has any one got a UKDM 4th or 5th gen (both preferably) thermostat kicking about that they can measure the diameter off. i've just tried fitting an aftermarket thermostat to a jdm housing the the thermostat is way too small.

cheers

phil

i only have JDM lying around ive found aftermarket ones can be a pain to fit as they slip off when putting the housing back together, but patience pevails

Is there any difference in size? I was swapping thermostats between the housing on my old H22a2 and current H22a.

its defo smaller, looking on the US forums JDM thermostats are bigger than theirs just wondering if its the same for uk ones

nuts, i was hoping that wasn't going to be the answer!

As per the pic I measured this UKDM one I've got at approx 64mm, for an A8.

Cheers dude, that's one I can rule out then

And thanks for the part number, I can use that on lings and check the others

No Sweat!

There are different sized stats.
I found that out when looking into Edu's overheating problem.
What defines which type is fitted to what though, I don't know.

I'll be at the barn tomorrow so I'll investigate the A2 I have there for you.

Have you measured your stat yet, so we know what size housing you are actually looking for???

my thermostat is ~52mm
