I hope the antifreeze/thermostat saga is finished
There's quite a bit of work needed to replace the ts. It took my mechanic(and me) an hour and a half. Whole intake has to go down(except the manifold), the battery, some wiring harnesses but the biggest problem is a clip on the rearmost hose. It's a metal securing clip which has to be taken off at a certain angle, but PSA being PSA, they've made it quite hard to reach.
Anyway, I've flushed the system, now Shell G12+ is inside(couldn't find Total Glacelf AS anywhere).
Coolant now takes 2 kilometers to get to 105°C, as it should be.
Fun fact, there was no heating in the cabin after the job, even though the temperature was at 105-106°C. First thing I did? Floor it! Did it help? Yes it did
Here are some photos
