Tried 2 aftermarket thermostats, neither worked car still tried to overheat. Went to Toyota and got a OEM thermostat for $41 and fixed the issue. They specifically said stay away from cheap aftermarket parts they dont work.
Just changed my 2001 Camry 4cyl thermostat with an genuine toyota thermostat. Turned on car, it wasn't opening and was running hot and the engine would shake now. Come to watch your video now and i think I may have not put the jiggle valve upwards. Do you think that may cause the problem?
Yes my whole channel is full of knowledge and videos straight to the point every person can save $1000 yearly by following my channel no matter what car u got
My 2000 V6 Camry (original owner) radiator fans never turn on! Turns out the OEM thermostat opened at a lower temperature range but never throw an engine code. Few weeks ago check engine light came on with P0128. Install an aftermarket thermostat to get rid of the P0128. Guess what, the radiator fan came on, first time in 24 years!
I have a leak coming from the thermostat I think. Is there a way to get just a seal for the thermostat, or is it best to just change the thermostat too?
@@RBTheMechanic wait are you sure? i have a 2005 camry 2.4L. yesterday was the first hot day where i live and i didn't notice until i parked and came back and saw about a tablespoon of orange coolant dripping. opened the hood and confirmed it was dripping out of the reservoir's cap that has a tube to the radiator and a side nipple (where the coolant came out). figured it was the thermostat not working after 130k miles (factory). everyone has said to burp though...
@ Ariel Jefferson, did you get your Thermostat issue fix. I drive an 2007 LE and been having the same issue. I bought 2 Thermostat in last 5 months from Autozone and temperature gague keep go up pass where it need to be or it stays down near the C and don't come up enought. Let me know what you did to fix yours.
@@wickedkid675 I’m north NJ like 2500 miles away no way u can come here find a local mechanic it needs to be scanned for codes and look for where the smell is comming from

You're lucky toyota in my city quoted me 69.99 for thermostat only

Best to replace it together also inspect the house could be bad as well
Are you allowed to share a part number? Just googling it brings up a variety of results.
What size bolts are those? I plan on replacing them
Don’t have size of the Kent but for tool 10mm
Does it need the oval gasket between the housing and the block?
Just the gasket I showed goes around the thermostat that’s all
I change my thermostat and some antifreeze come out can I put it back in let me please
Not any. It has to be same color
I have a Toyota Camry 2018. This morning I saw on the dashboard it says coolant systems is too high. I am scared I don’t know what to do
I never seen a such a sign can u make a video and posit it up and send me link
@@RBTheMechanicMy Camry thermostat nuts are rusted and "rounded" off. How can I get them off? I can't seem to get a socket on them.
@ use grip tools
@@RBTheMechanic So grip the nuts. Gotit.
Thank you!
What if my engine is shaking when I start it ? My car was fine but we messed with the relays to fix my windows and now I have this overheating problem
Did u swap relays? Could be bad relay in fan slot
Could I change. The water pump, thermostat, and radiator all at the same time?
Yup
@@RBTheMechanicwhat rachet u using ?
@@kingofring3399 snap on quarter inch 10mm socket
Is it a good thing for the CAR,To removed Thermostat permanently & fixed the cover like that
U mean eliminate the thermostat?
@@RBTheMechanicyes, I want to know tooo
does the camry coolant system need to be burped or bleeding?
Nope it burps it self u do need to top it off once or twice. It will settle down
@@RBTheMechanic so just do the funnel thing and keep going until no more bubbles and I'm good to go? THANK YOU SO MUCH
@@mushedroom yup even that’s not needed I would just drive it for 10 minutes and then let it cool down and recheck

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
My car is not doing over heating but,a mechanic said I should change it just because, the Thermostat changed color & rusted
How can he tell did he open it? But yes do it if thats the case
It was where I thought it would be. Mine is running too cool.
Usully that’s the thermostat try original
Great video
Thank you
Mine is a 07 does this still apply to that??
No it’s diffrent set up but about the same process

Good video brother 😊
Thanks ✌
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video
Welcome
Mine is 17 and thermostat didn’t come with gasket
Gotta get new gasket
Most if not all thermostats do not come with gasket (when I was looking through many)
Poker
Slow the fuck down, remember you are showing people that are looking at what your doing
Well slow can be paused and go back watch again but if I slow down for those who think it’s too slow they can fast forward speed change
my car is shaking smells like gas when turn it on
It might be misfiring take it to mechanic to have it diagnosed not sure what u smell. Do u have check engine light on?
Yeah I look more into car it's antifreeze
@@wickedkid675 shake is one thing and smell is another. It could be misfire it could be somthing leaking so it needs more visual check up
