thermostat location

Post by Toilet Duck » Mon Aug 06, 2018 8:17 pm

Hello all 8)

Where is the thermostat on the K20 in the Atom?

I've had a look and suspect it's either near the top under the temp sensor for the SPA dash here:

Or at the bottom behind the plastic hose connector on the block near the electric water pump here:

Also, am I right in thinking that there is a separate water temp sensor feeding the ECU i.e. there are two sensors, one feeding the dash (as per my top pic) and a second one located elsewhere?

Cheers :vroom:

The thermostat is behind the plastic housing coming off the block

FYI the SRA does not have a thermostat. The housing is hollowed out from factory. I'm curious to see if the Euro spec Atoms have one.
