Does a 306 gti6 thermostat fit into a vts??
Im pretty sure that they are a lower temp compared 2 a standard vts 1, correct me if im wrong.
If i do where can i get 1 from, prices & part numbers would be helpful.
Thanks

Not sure what the advantage would be, but I highly doubt it.
If your looking for extra cooling for high BHP engines then you'd be better off rigging the unused fan housing and installing a secong fan on a switch.

not really, the cooler thermostat will open at at lower temperature. but unless your car is running hot then you dont need it.

I'd never buy a Halfords or any other non-genuine Citroen thermostat as from past experience they are so poorly made that they don't close properly and the car takes for ever to warm up. A Citroen thermostat is just under a tenner.

Must admit Id be more happy buying from main dealer for parts that couldnt be upgraded with aftermarket items but Im not sure Id be put off by Halfords just they would be bottom of my list thats all.
www.eurocarparts.com is handy if you have one near you.
