HELLO EVERYONE, I know this is kinda random. Recently got my car wrecked,
long story short took it into a rapair shop. Told them to fix anything
wrong with internally and my front bumper. After pick up car looked then
all of a sudden same day as i picked it up i had peanut butter in my Oil &
I got my RADIATOR HOSE FIXED SINCE THAT WAS THE ONLY THING WRONG. Do you
think they could’ve tampered with my thermostat
when replacing my radiator hose ?
thanks,that will help to find it on my truck……
I promise you this was not a ford!
He didn’t even mention the jiggle valve, aka air bleed valve. Little bitty
valve in the thermostat. The jiggle valve has to be aligned with the stud
bolt up to a 10% tolerance, sometimes 5%.
“Great fuckin video Bro”!! Thankz
Tnx man
What did you expect, the video is only 2:29!
I know Richard I was waiting for that part also lol
You didn’t show putting the gasket on before or after installing the
thermostate.
so your supposed to fill up the plastic reservoir with coolant also?
only if your thermostat is stuck closed (which won’t let coolant get
through to the engine, so you’ll overheat) rather than opening up when your
engine gets to operating temp.
Jesus what engine bay is this. This thing looks amazing to work on.
Everything is in a great location.
If you don’t find the thermostat where the upper radiator hose connects to
the engine, try the lower. That’s where mine was. Great video- once I found
the thermostat, it took about 30 minutes to change it out. Appreciate the
money saved!
Yes thats what this video is showing. You dont need to replace the whole
housing unless that is bad itself.
He is just explaining how to change the thermostat I have a saab 9-3 and I
even figured out how to change the thermostat on it by using this video.
Find your upper radiator hose follow it to the engine thats your thermostat
housing unscrew an so on an so on. He dont have time to listen to you cry
cuz he didnt use your make and model car to make this video. And dont act
like your higher intellect and know how to work on cars, cuz you typed it
in and came here just as I did.
Now that’s concise.
Yess finally somebody that explains it in a fast easy way .. Thanx
gran explicacion
Your not hercules.
Great explanation…check for mine tomorrow.Good job!!!
Thanks! Everything I needed in one quick how to. Clear and concise, that’s
all I could have asked for. 🙂
this guy knows what he talking about fast and simple he gets to the
point…if it helped me it will hlp anyone trust
me!!!!!!!!!…………..thank you
i have a 1998 eclipse gs wich is the EASYEST to change dude wanted 185 to
change my gasket i laughed in his face and changed it in his shop parking
lot in 5 min
Thanks Sooo Much!! I have a 05 honda civic and i just got it and it seem to
aready have problem.. Thanks
Lumina Thermostats are a pain in but to get to. You have to remove the
throttle body and it looks like you have to work around the exhaust
manifold. Any suggestions?
This one is MUCH better than the expert village one! Turbo channel FTW!!!
@ChaosmanOne hahaha wow… yeah…
thanks for sharing this video.. 5*
Wait, I’m NOT Hercules?? This is depressing news. I guess I’m really not a
man. Great video..
damn good vid
fuck the home depot. fuck advertising on youtube.
Ya, this video makes it look simple enough, time to replace mine tomorrow
just like mikkky1234.
Well it depends on what kind of car you have. Most mechanics look up the
labor time listed in whatever book/program they use and then multiply that
time by their flat rate. If your thermostat is in a hard to reach place and
requires removal of other components, the labor cost will go up fast. Of
course, if it’s a small private shop, they could just be ripping you off.
Very easy to understand, even for a lady.. Im not super women either Thank
you very much
Be careful on some, the thermostat must sit in the groove, I use a little
rtv to hold it, if its not seated properly it can crack the housing…then
u got another part to buy on a relatively easy repair…
he forgot to install the gasket…oops!!
