does thermostat need to be removed? V70-XC70 2006

Hi Klaus,

I cannot get a socket on the inlet manifold bolt furthest to the RH side of the engine because the thermostat housing is in the way. I tried to remove the thermostat but instead I accidentally dismantled the housing and that is what is showing in the picture.

Removing the housing should be simple. It seems to be held in place by two Torx t40 screws but I cannot see the lower screw head and I don't have a good tool to get at it. I have ordered a set of torx L shaped tools but in the interim this blockade has stopped any further progress.

I can fit the 10mm socket, 3/8 drive, partially onto the manifold bolt but cannot get it straight on because of the housing and I know I will need to exert considerable torque to get it off.

Was this an issue for you on your car?

Bob
