Disco's are good! Use an ELRING gasket when you sort it

You can just run a length of hose from the pipe next to rocker cover to the spigot on the back of the head if you want to bypass the matrix....and easily put the original pipes back if you want to sort the heater.
I'd put a stat in though if only to get engine up to temp quicker

Had my (non exsistant) matrix bypassed when I 1st fitted the 200 and had no bleed issues.....Series rad though, don't know how much difference that makes
