2.5 crd running cool
#31
Man, what I would give for a diesel T&C/Voyager! We just don't have those options in the US. My daily driver is a 95 Chevy Tahoe 2 door (full size Blazer) with the 6.5L turbo diesel. I make my own bioD and would love to be able to run it in our family hauler as well.
We just don't have many small to medium sized diesel options over here.

Someone called? :-)
Yes, as long as it's the 2001 CRD, and not the TD, the thermostats are the same and made by Behr (if you buy one from Chrysler, you'll still see Behr on it) - this one will do the job nicely at a third of the price from Chrysler.
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
I'm 99% sure that it's the same place I got mine from 2 or 3 years back, and the delivery was pretty quick, even from Latvia.
The only difference between the 2002 thermostat and the 2001 is that in the centre of the picture on ebay, there's a thin plastic 90 degree tube - on the 2001 model, you unscrew this and replace it with a blanking bolt (which will be on the thermostat that you take off). The only other advice I would give is that you get two sorts of gasket compound - one that cures as a permanent bond, and one that stays flexible. Before you try to fit the new thermostat, use the permanent bond to fix the gasket to the thermostat, as you really don't want to have to line it up at the back of the engine - use the non-setting compound between the gasket and the engine.
