I note that the “
extensive and detailed practical experience in this area” is on your own car and one other.
Bearing in mind that there are thousands of V6s out there, I do not think that assumptions based on 2 cars can prove anything.
In fact, it is a meaningless sample.
The truth is that there is significant evidence of thermostat housing failure.
This forum, alone, has regular threads on the matter, often documented by people that do have extensive experience.
However, I am very pleased for you Simon that, in your case, the problem was only the ‘O’ rings.
