The files are not damaged.

You must download all 8 parts then, when you unzip them, the 8 parts will combine into 1 .iso file. It will not work with only 1 part.

Re: croma

thanks for your info
The problem was the 7 zip program. I used winrar and it's ok now
thanks

Hi Roberto, welcome to the forum.

I changed the thermostat on my 1.9 8v JTD a while back and it was a serious pain.

It needs a lot of patience as well a mirror to see where the bolts are. And a bunch of jubilee clips to replace all the ones you'll need to break off to get the old one out.

Hi Roberto
It is a big job to change the thermostat so I fitted a hose thermostat(volvo 340) which with some grease only involves undoing the hose clip ect and pushing the stat into the hose. It has worked well through the summer and took an hour or so .

I was afraid it sholud be a pain

That can be a good idea
I have some questions
Thare are three hoses going out from the thermo valve. Two are in and out from clima and the other i think is gfrom the oil coller.
Did you fitted the hose thjermo vane only in the clima hose ?=
