Issue with clearing the gearbox has been resolved for all reroute kit orders since now.

2 mm of material is removed from bottom of the spacer. My apology for all those who were affected.

I need a kit for my 1994 1.8 turbo but I'm utterly confused

For 1.8 you need the "B" kit. What exactly can I help you with?

Question about the front fan switch in the blanking plate. What's the tap thread specs for it? I need to make a thread for my blanking plate and have no idea of the sizes

M16 x1.5

 

[jenkt]

Which kit for mk2 1.8?

Thanks Tom

Kit B?

 

[SkidNation]

Tom: yup, that is correct.

What thermostat do I need to use whisper? Or will the oe one be fine?

 

[SkidNation]

OEM is not the best option as it's very tricky to fit it with temp sensor. It's possible, but personally I use (and recommend) getting a one-valve type.

Does that mean use this one:

Rather than this one:

[SkidNation]

Exactly But as I said, you can try to fit your OEM and only order new if you experience issues (weep hole must be at the top, or very close to the top - from 11 to 1 hour on the clock).

There is nothing wrong with one-valve thermostat if it's a quality product, for NBFL Mazda used it too (http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/thermostat-genuine-mazda-mk25-p-1545.html).

Btw. I just finished working on simplified installation guide for reroute kit: http://coolant-reroute.com/installation.html

Got mine - spot on. Thanks for extra

Possibly old info, but people seem to have been going to odd places for the Kia thermostat housing.

Just ordered it from my local Kia dealership and they can get it next day for £22.09. (part number 0K24715172A)

Which kit do I need for my Mk1 1.8 1996?

Kit B?

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark, you are correct, B kit is the one for your car

 

[Badmuts20]

What is the change what is made for the new ones?

I think I have a leakage at the reroute. and maybe is this the solution.

Its a 1.6 with 5 gear.

 

[SkidNation]

Hi, the small change only took off about 2mm of material at the bottom side of the spacer to clear some of the gearboxes. I'm 100% sure it's not related to your leakage.

Suggested troubleshooting:

• check the hose connection(s), on some of them I even used two steel hose clips to have it extra secure
• check if the coolant outlet barb is tightened properly
• the last thing can be leaking gasket, if you didn't have the engine out while installing the kit it's very tricky to get it there right without damaging it

 

[Stuntman]

Hi whisper, what kit would need,

Mk1 1.6 1997

Also his do I order and pay etc?

 

[SkidNation]

Hi,

for your 1.6 NA you need the "A" kit. I've sent you a PM about the order.

Cheers,

Samuel

 

[lethal_ghost]

I need one for my 1.6 na

 

[ecksjay]

Hi mate, I'm assuming a 'B' kit is the one I need for mk2 1.8? Not read through what else I need so I may pester you with messages. Engine is partially stripped down so should be fairly easy. Thabks

 

[SkidNation]

Hi, yes - B kit is for 1.8 engines. (Hopefully) everything what you need to know is in my first post in this topic.
