You'll need to use the 306 thermostat housing with the extra 2 sensors & also the 306 exhaust manifold (the VTS has a different coupling to the downpipe).There could be other areas of difference-I'm sure someone here will know. Good luck with the swap over. ________________________________________ N5 XU10J4RS Road carD60 XU9J4 Track car 120Kw atw |

Correct for a later (Mk 2) VTS but this is an early one so the manifold and temperature sensors are the same as the 306 ones. ________________________________________ Rich |
