No, The v6 petrol one is quite a bit shorter in profile as in distance out from water pump.

If your 1 has given up, take it to Burnside Radiators and get them to refill the viscous unit. I just had 1 done last week and it came back mint.

Cheaper than a new 1 and better than a 2nd hand 1! :D

Dunno how much, it was through work for a customers truck and I didn't get to see the invoice.
