I received my order from eEuro tonight containing a new Wahler thermostat for my 4-cylinder and a new coolant temp sensor. The thermostat has no vent hole!
There is a shallow dimple in the body where I expected to see the vent hole, as if the punch struck the metal disc but did not penetrate.
Do I drill a hole or ignore it?
My inclination is to drill a vent hole the same size as the punch mark but thought I would ask incase this part has changed since my WIS was created.
Thanks,
