Any fault codes?Might be worth double checking everything you’ve took off and put back on when doing the job. Assuming you replaced manifold gasket tightened all bolts and plugged everything back in nice and snug etc.

Thats the thing no fault codes that point to it. Only low voltage as I removed the battery and that evap purge error which is to do with my decat I beleive as I haven't had it mapped yet.My bad.. at 2 in the morning I don’t even know why I started finger bashing on Tapatalk (manifold... wtf) lol

Yes that’ll be the battery, I don’t doubt your diy... but we’ve all made stupid school boy errors on times so although it’s a pain, it must just be worth double checking everything (second time round will be easier and quicker too). I can’t see how the thermostat itself would have anything to do with the issue. But for the issue to arise immediately after the jobs been done says it’s a faulty or wrong part fitted, incorrectly fitted, something broke in the process or just a pure coincidence.
Some or all (im not sure) of the thermostat housings have a second temp sensor in the housing, did you have one in yours? Connected if so?
Also, just have a look around to see you haven’t caught or knocked any surrounding wires etc when doing the job.

However what I did find was that plastic pipe coming off the pcv ( the longer bendy plastic one which goes under the intake manifold) I gave it a slight tug and it was basically broken and came off, Im praying thats my issue, luckily I have a spare but not at hand. Will hopefully fit it tonight and report back!

Hopefully replacing that resolves it

Just to confirm, replacing the broken pipe has sorted my issue :laugh:. Though thinking about it now, the symptoms were almost the same as when you do a PCV check. Anyway happy days. Thanks guys.Nice one, it makes me think it’s worth checking mine as well just to be sure. I’ve heard they can crack or split quite easily. Glad you fixed it mate
