Lupo GTI thermostat housing


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a new thermostat housing for the GTI

I take it they are different to standard lupo's due to the oil cooler

Are there any aftermarket ones available?

Are polo 6n2 GTI ones same?

The whole housing is

032 121 111 AT - £119.47 inc vat from VW, this comes as the complete unit that bolts on the cylinder head with all sensors and the thermostat.

You can buy the thermostat and the flange (snigger!) separately from VW, they are

Thermostat - 032 121 110 C £19.74 inc vat

Seal - 032 121 119 H - £5.26 inc vat

Flange (again, snigger!) - 032 121 121 K - £11.39 inc vat

As far as I can see, this part is one of many unique to the Lupo GTI engine, however the thermostat, seal and flange are the same.

At the flange one of the bolts is rounded and wont make a tight seal.

At the price of £120 i think I'll have a go at repairing it. 

Would epoxy do the job?

glue in a bit of stud, use a nut to lock it.

Tried this but the epoxy melts and the seal is ruined when to temp.

Rich says they are lupo specific but with a bit of searching there are a few that look quite similar. Are you able to check?

VW polo 9n - 032121111AP - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-FABIA-COMPLETE-THERMOSTAT-HOUSING-032121111AP-110351-/181856645387?epid=1149426275&hash=item2a5780310b:g:Q0EAAOSwd0BV6Ghu

That one looks very similar ^

As far as I can see, they are different where the top hose comes out to join to the top rad hose.

My GTI looks identical with the AP one (bottom pic)

The AT (top pic) looks like the one installed on standard lupos.

So the one I've linked earlier, I cant see why it wouldn't work unless the diameters are different?

For the 3x lower price it costs I may give it a go.

Mine is fitted with the top version as I had a new one fitted a few years back when I had my engine rebuilt. My GTI is a 2003 6 Speed

i might have a spare somewhere 

I've bought a polo 9n one for about a 10er hopefully it'll fit. If not I'll see if you still have the spare :)

Could you grab a few photos of it on your GTI, specifically the radiator pipes?

i have the second one. replaced mine as one of the 90 degree bends decided to **** itself on the a11 and empty my car of coolant.

Were did you get it from? I have got the polo 9n one which is identical to the GTI one but is just missing the little nipple at which if i remember right goes to the throttle body.

i just bought a second hand one and nicked the 90 degree peice. there is enough people braking lupos that you would be able to get a second hand one.
