Doug G. Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Doing the 5 year (it feels like it is taking that long) Rotax rubber change on my 2010 CTLS. I think I have this figured out but I messed up and lost the orientation of the coolant thermostat. There are three connections. In the picture they point up, right and left. Can anyone tell me what connects where? I think it is: Right—expansion tank Left—radiator Top—crossover tube to right side “t” connection TIA Doug Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 I've seen a couple different routings over the years. Does your have the tube that comes up by the oil tank, or the one that comes through the intake manifold? From old pictures I have the one with no hose goes to the radiator. The one that comes off the side goes to the tank. the one straight out the rear crossed to the "Y" on the other side. At least this is the one set up. Let me know which style you have and I'll try and get a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted August 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Pretty sure I have it figured out, but would like to be certain. It goes up to the expansion tank along the firewall and beside the oil tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Baker Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 One thing I do before a hose change is take pictures from several different angles. It becomes very useful when something is a little different than what you are used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted August 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I did take pics of everything except that—for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted August 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 The pictures confirm I got it right. Thanks, Tom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
