Kad 32 Hot water return, where?

[Volvo KAD 32 tfft]

I have found the hot water outlet at the bottom of the thermostat housing no problem, but not sure where the return pipe connects?

On my TAMD the return was connected to the left of the outlet a little lower but also at the base of the thermostat housing.

i am unable to connect here on my KAD because of the wacking great compressor drive pulley in front of it.

is there another port for the return pipe? or should i try and fashion some sort of elbow to go behind the pulley?

also, is it essential to have cocks on both flow and return or will one suffice?

thanks for your input

The volvo kit uses an elbow i think

Other connection is on the water pump, another blank plug there .

You will need one each end or you cannot isolate the loop which is why cocks are fitted. It's easily done with elbows and well worth it.
