Thermostat housing
Hello and thanks for the help,
I could not get the torx bolt out of the thermostat cover, wound up cracking the housing that goes into the block. Can someone give me an idea what I have to remove to take the main housing off of the block.
Thanks in advance
Richard

RE: Thermostat housing
And you will need the following parts:
1. Housing
P/N: 1397909 (Volvo)
$66.50
2. Gasket (FCP Groton has miswritten it as "waterpump housing gasket", where as it is actually the T-stat housing gasket).
P/N: 1397574 (Elwis Royal)
$2.00
And in case you need the upper housing as well:
P/N: 3531478 (Scan-tech)
$20.00
They are at: http://www.fcpgroton.com/volvo850cooling.htm
Compare price & shipping deal with: http://www.eeuroparts.com/home.aspx
I hate those Torx screws because half the time they're guaranteed to strip

RE: Thermostat housing
When I finally did get my torx screws out to replace the thermostat I put hex bolts back in to replace the damn tox screws. That is one thing I really hate about these car is the use of torx and in the case of the ABS module, an inverted torx.

My 95 855t rear torx bolt is stripped, and now I need to figure out how to remove>>>>?????
I guess I need to pull out the fuel rail to get some room to use a screw extracter...
But it looks to tight to fit a hex bolt on the back side...
