Even the turbo water feed?

the Coupe 2.0 16v N/A has a hose connection from the same port as the turbo cooling one it is just a case of unscrewing the one supplied and screwing the Q4 connection in

Don't know if they are the same. If the turbo cooling channel is missing, they're the same then

Should be careful when drilling, better to drill on kind of drilling bench than using a simple drill(any car workshop should be able to cope with that, IMHO).

No you misunderstand, the 2.0 16v N/A coupe thermostat housing is the same as the Q4 with the exception of the EGR sensor socket

Got it today, just need one hole to be drilled and tapped and job done I hope

**AlfaJack** · 20-09-07, 21:59

All done. If anyone else needs to drill the hole for the sensor you need a 14.5mm drill and an M16 x1.5 tap.

Got a constant 87c when on the move now

Thinking about doing this job now as my temp reading is normally around the 70deg area unless in traffic
