Re: Radiator and Fans
Then yours won't have the tee fitting since the right side routed the water from the external thermostat. Fiat went back and forth on what kind of thermostat they preferred. The most preferred one seemed to be the external setup and there are arguments for and against both systems. I have a car with each and couldn't tell you the pros or cons of either since they both work fine.

Oh, thanks for that.
I'd think a setup like mine would be preferred, since there are fewer hoses and it just looks 'cleaner'.

Re: Radiator and Fans
Your thermostat is in the front top of your head. at the back of your hose fitting. I prefer this set up so I did mine this way. Less is more under the hood
