ZETEC COOLING SYSTEM DIAGRAM

After Searching high and low for a decent Zetec cooling diagram, i gave up. i ended up making it up and using trial and error trying to find the best way to arrange the hoses and so on. this is what i finally came up with, my engine is a 1.8 zetec black top but this should work for any zetec engine, there is no need to change the water pump so it pumps the other way leave it with a standard pump.

My car has been plumbed like that for a few years with no problem, but people seem to think that you need 2 separate hoses for some unknown reason.

My diagram is about 1/2 way down this tread and was kindly posted for me by Lewis.
