I want to replace the thermostat housing on my Ritmo before i refit the head but cannot find one with a fitting for the pipe to this valve,what does it do? Can it be deleted? Is it only for the Swedish market as i have a spare Uno 1.3 motor which has the same valve on it.

See Ritmo/Strada section for reply.
