I didn't see you clean around the areas where the thermostat seal contacts the engine block , or the radiator hose adapter pipe. Cleaning these areas is necessary to get a good seal. The position of the new thermostat can easily slip out of position, and cause a poor seal, if the hose adapter is left connected to the hose.. It is better to disconnect the radiator hose from the hose adapter before installing the new thermostat. This allows you to position the hose adapter more precisely against the thermostat seal and, NOT unintentionally knock the thermostat out of position.
don't you have to burp the cooling system for air bubbles? i'm not sure how necessary it is, but some mechanics i know always do it - i suppose you could just run the car and then refill later in the reservoir instead of 'burping' it and forgetting it
How long actual time to r&r this ? Thanks.
Thank you. Very easy to follow.
Isn’t there a bleeder valve somewhere on the 4 cylinder?
Why do they make 2 different sizes?

Back seat driver know it all
Which coolant did you use?
0:40
He used a red coolant which is especially for Asian cars and for Toyotas. The particular intended use is printed on the container.
I can’t find the location of the thermostat he just showed a close up
right behind the alternator
Literally in front of the engine.
It connects to the hose that goes into the engine block.
Good tutorial, thanks.
Great video, thanks!
Easy peacy
Your video needs to be zoomed out so we can clearly seee where your working. Duh

Yes, always burp the air!!!
Thank you. Great video.
