Hello,
2001 1.4SE.
Today my coolant warning light came on and when topping up the leak became clear at the thermostat housing. Seems the clip has failed and also sheered off some of the actual housing.
Part number for the bend and clip seems to be 032121118B which I can find nowhere online with the exception of alibaba. The main housing to which it is connected looks relatively fine, with the exception of the small portion behind the O ring which has detached, however it is wedged in place when the assembly is together. This has made me thing that replacing the bend would be sufficient without replacing the whole housing. I could also look at alternatives to repair the failed clip and retain the same bend, perhaps an additional jubilee clip.
Struggling to see the issue occurring with anyone else on the forum but any help greatly appreciated. Especially if anyone can locate the part.
