I have the nerve to ask. how did you drain the fluid from the cylinder block? I noticed that only a few drops flowed after removing the thermostat. this is remarkable!
Great video, wanted to ask, this just came up on my car about a week ago and this was the code i got, could a low level of antifreeze/coolant be the reason for the check engine light or will it always be the thermostat? Also, how long could you drive a car with this problem, my normal repair shop is backed up and wont get to it for maybe 2 weeks but as yu can imagine… cant really wait 2 weeks.
if you were in my neighborhood, i wouldn't try anything myself.
Hi i got a mazda 6 2.4l with code p0126. But when raving it above 1500rpm make a weird noise coming from belt or around there…any help about what that could be ?
Thanks Jim. Great informative video.
Another informative and generally well done video, Jim.
Love those Snap On Flex Head Comfort Grips!
Well done Jim, awesome as always.
Why don't you like them they are reusable and save you money lifetime filter Jim.
Very nice step-by-step procedure there Jim and your video editing skills are getting better and better. Keep up the good work!
What you think about k&N air filters good or bad
Thanks Jim! One of the first repairs I did on my Mazda 3 was a thermostat replacement I wish I had this video back then. Really enjoyed the lesson, Jim. Take care!
I've done hundreds of water pumps but I still enjoy watching your videos Jim & you can always learn something new. So was the old thermostat partially open or was it just opening prematurely or did you just chunk it in the trash?
Alot of money for parts but what are you going to do . Good job jimmy!
