Hi, 2011 Crafter 2.5 TDI 2E CEBB can someone tell me where I will find the thermostat housing before I start taking the engine apart. TIA

I can't tell you of hand.

Look in the obvious places.

Maybe Crasher knows when he reads this thread.

After searching YouTube for most of the day I found where it is. It's sort of tucked in behind the alternator and looks like it will be a real pig to get to.

I'm back again. Does the fuel pump have to be removed to get to the thermostat housing bolts.

Can anyone help with this ?

Crasher hasn't made a comment search YouTube?

If you find something don't just post the link?

I've searched YouTube for 2 days now. The only post is in Polish and the video leave a lot to be desired. Not to worry.
