SDV6 - Thermostat replacement - Help |
|
Hi Guys,
I have purchased a complete Discovery 4 Coolant Thermostat AH22-8K515-AA and now need to replace my current one as Step 1 in solving my bouncing temp gauge...
Has anyone replaced theirs? The guides I find are for the 2.7 TDV6 and I don't have the Workshop manual for the 3.0 SDV6 Disco 4 SDV6 HSE with Compomotives, BFG 265/65R18s, BigCountry drawer system, Melvill & Moon covers, NL 52L fridge, FR Spare Wheel Carrier, FR Roof Rack, Tenco RTT, FR 50" LED Bar, dual spots, Lift Rods, Mantec Snorkel, C-TEK Dual batt system, 270 Ostrichwing, Maxtrax, Icom ID-5100, Icom ID-51 as secondary, IIDtool BT

I replaced the thermostat within the plastic housing on mine successfully. Fiddly to get all the hose clamps undone.

I was doing it as part of a fluid flush, so be aware you’ll lose all your coolant.
My only advice would be to invest in a proper hose clamp tool on a cable. I spent forever trying to get my various pliers in to undo all the hose clamps. Would have been so much easier with a proper tool.

Yeah I am aware of that and I think driving through all the hot places we drive through, new coolant wont hurt
Noted on the clamp tool, will see if I can find anything.
