I am i gm mechanic and did one of these today... they definatly suck but you can do it without removing the intake ... just remove the high pressure fuel pump metal cover and insulator and you can do it from the sides... let the metal bracket lay in on the transmission dont try to fight pullin it up out of there... i did the whole housing and it calls for 3.5 hrs of labor and took me 1.7 or so ... very hard to clean the mating surfaces
Hey do you know how I can remove the bank one fuel rail for my v6? I have a cylinder one misfire and need to replace the fuel injector. The front engine block is preventing me from accessing the fuel rail. Please help. Thanks.
Alldata claims it's a 1 hour job. I have one in my shop that the heater is only blowing 80 degrees and I suspect the thermostat. But I'm going to pass on this nightmare.
Hey there PTar Thank you for the video helps allot . CAR OVERHEATED FOUND THE LEAK IS COMINH FROM HERE !!! The thermostat area ? Is that the issue that I need to replace the seal ? Or the whole thing ?
I have a mobile mechanic coming by later to do this job, and he's only charging me a 100 bucks.... NO WAY. After watching this video, think I'm better off taking it to the shop... Dammmm I wished I knew more about cars..
I see it in a video have it the engine light he's on and I don't see how much temperature the normal in the screen to eye don't see the heat show how much supposed to the right temperature supposed to have the the car 169 190 or 248 I like to see it what's the normal temperature in the kamado
I have a 2011 RS it’s leaking water, I can see it underneath, but can’t locate it in the engine compartment? Could this be the problem? It’s more of a Drip leak. Thanks!!
I got a Mastercool 22 pc cooking system tester from AutoZone under their loaner tool program, and used the universal fitting to pressurize it to about 5psi, and saw the leaking at the rear passenger side of the engine. The video at 1:25 actually shows a clear picture. I couldn't see it as clearly from the top, not sure if the video was taken from a different angle. Manual says a few things need to be removed before getting access to the heater pipe assembly.
Hello #PTAR, if you did the whole repair from the top why did you lift the car and put it on Jack's? Does lifting it help get better access to pipe? And do you have to drain the coolant for this repair?
Housing has 2 10mm, pipe hose has 1 13mm, and there's 1 15mm on the inside corner toward back(make sure you remove this one!). Removing 13mm allows you to remove housing without having to remove the whole piping which is a Tetris puzzle.

There are gaskets on heather hoses? Thermostat hose will have gasket ?? or silicon on those hoses???

Carlos Cruz Put Pressure test or UV dye to search where the leak It can cause overheating
Carlos Cruz was that the problem because I think my thermostat is sticking too.

Hey there my Camaro leaking allot of coolant from these thermostat area what does that mean ? Replace the thermostat?
The black pipe use a rubber o ring and if this one is bad can leak, check the gasket too on the thermostat housing too
How did u compress the new thermostat to lock it in
Darrell Bbonner Jr with my hands Sir took me A little bit to manipulate it
@@PTAR1984 bro you gotta be strong asf
What up, hey how long did this repair take??
Got the same service I need on my car... i figured no more than 4 hours...?
Mark Silva give or take With the right condition right tools 2 hours or 3 ish
@@PTAR1984 perfect! Thanks brother!
@@PTAR1984 did you have to any gasket sealers fo this?
👍🏽🤘🏽
did you get under the car and in the back of the engine to get access to the housing to remove it with the metal lines?
eradley01 No Sir everything was through the top

@@ivanpatino9714 You'll lift the car for a touch Pan to catch the radiator fluid Seems self evident
You must do your video little slow move so people can see what are you doing and what What is the purpose of this video,
How did you get the thermostat to stay in place while you put it in
nick Slightly just a tiny Bit of ultra gray silicone
How did you end up bleeding (burp) the cooling system ?
The link is in the description of the two are used to bleed the system
Theres nothing in the link 😟
@@candula87 It’s in the description
Wish you would off actually explained what to do instead of playing music 😒

How did you get the thermostat housing out? Mine won't budge
Dennis Rivera if you can look at this video carefully you can see how it's done
