A coola
nt outlet plastic pipe connects to the outlet port of ea
ch cylinder head to provide a common connection point for the
radiator top hose. It also incorporates the Engine Coolant Te mperature (ECT) sensor which provides a signal representing
coolant temperature at the cylinder heads. The outlet pipe has connections to supply the heater matrix and the bypass flow
to the thermostat housing. An in-groove ga sket, seals each of the outlet-to-cylinder head joints. An aluminium gasket seals
the ECT sensor to duct joint.
Coolant Outlet Duct - Supercharged

The coolant outlet duct on the supercharged engine performs exactly the same function as on the normally aspirated engine
and connects to the same ports on the engine. The main physical difference is that the thermostat housing has been
