water blanking plate needed

i got a 2ltr block in my mark2

just under the thermostate housing is a adpter plate but its not need .

on other 8vs there a blanking plate i need please

any help please

ive got a funny feeling you mean a plate that sits to the bottom right of the water flange on the front of the head???


if im wront i dont know which you mean due to the thermostat being in the waterpump, which is driven by the alternator etc on the left hand side

its me being a prat......

thought it was leeking water ends up being a breather pipe connected to the block near the oil filter took the pipe off and car wouldn,t idle ,so i put it on and blocked up the hole again car idles ok ,

still got a small leak from somewhere near there.

sure i can see a small trickle from that area might be from the oil cooler but not sure .

would be easier to strip that whole part engine and put new gaskets on and some samco water pipes

as stated in your other thread

if your ever round my neck of the woods, feel free to pop in...ill have a look at your leak and might have the parts to fix it
