Here:


There could be differences in the connections on the plastic gallery that goes behind the block, the original GTE 16V had a different spot for the connection to the bottom of the header tank, closer to it. My engine had a Calibra gallery, that's what the drawing was based on.

All coolant hoses have an arrow for flow direction, if not then it is a vacume/air hose...

Here's the pipes I mean:




These pipes just join the hoses, so this doesn't have any influence, just need the right hoses for the right pipe...

Re: GTE 16v cooling system diagram

Yep,16v as pictured, you may freely swap hoses on the gallery if it fits any better in your car and hoses as long as they connect to all the bits...

Re: GTE 16v cooling system diagram

Will be fine mate, heater matrix flow can also be swapped at will. The system basics are not that complex if you know how it is done. Basically there is the pump at the end of the plastic pipe that pushes all the fluid in to the block that it collects from the plastic pipe. Then there are three main loops, one very short goes right in to the intake manifold and back in to the three way 'gut' that is between the plastic pipe and pump entrance. Then there is the main unregulated loop through the head that exits above the gearbox, in to the heater matrix and back in to the pipe/pump. This is a short loop to allow fast engine warm up. And as soon as the latter is achieved there is a valve opened (the thermostatic valve) in to the little thick hose at the radiator. Then the cooled fluid flows back in to the plastic pipe again through the thick hose exiting the rad. Above that a thin hose exits the rad to bleed any air out of the system in to the header tank. The other small hose next to it on the header tank receives fluid from a fourth tiny loop from the throttle body pre-heater joint and that comes from a little exit right above the pump from the intake manifold short loop I described first.

Re: GTE 16v cooling system diagram

Drive mine like that since the first GTE I've owned and that's a few years back now.
