Ford Focus - Ford Focus 1.6 thermostat - two or three port? - Matthew mcgivern
Hi there new to the forum but been following for a while.

I just bought a 2005 Focus 1.6 with the ti duratec engine 115 HP. I suspect the thermostat needs changing but the thermostat currently on there has three ports but only the two left ports have any hoses connected to them, from what I've been able to find out the far right port is capped off internally?

My main question is can I fit the later thermostat which I think was fitted Jan 2006 onwards that only has two ports, the connection to the engine seems to have holes in the same locations and seems to have same shape housing to the engine too.

Main reason I want to fit this two port thermostat is because it's cheaper.

Thanks for any help.

Matt
