Title: 2.3 thermostat
Post by Jonnycab on Feb 6^th, 2011, 12:38am

Today, I managed to finally find a pattern part thermostat that actually fits the 2.3 Scorp (2.0 16v as well). Exactly the same diameter & same temp rating as the Ford one (hopefully longer lasting as well) for more than half the price of the Ford one :D

It's a QH...part number QTH136K, & costs around 8 quid, depending on motor factor :)

The only real difference is that it doesn't have an air bleed hole....nothing a 2.5mm drill bit can't fix ;)

have you tested it really opens at 88c ?

I bought cheap termostat and it opened below 80c altough it was rated 88c...

And that was not first time.. pattern parts arent always worth the cheaper price.
