Followed this video and just replaced my thermostat in my 2005 Liberty CRD. Thank you so much! Would love to send you $20 to thank you. Also, have a couple of quick questions on whether or not you are still doing work for others on the Liberty CRD's.
Hi, very glad it helped in some way. I’ve got some many side projects that I don’t think I could guarantee any time to help. - dropping in the entire drivetrain on my Land Rover Defender Classic.
@@RealSideQuest How bout just quick advice on how I should proceed? Ive got 175K miles and it's due for timing belt. All the "experts" on the Facebook group say I should do a "level 3" service (belts, rockers, etc...". Cost for this by a traveling Liberty CRD guru is around $6K. Car is running sweet right now and I know I need timing belt but am having problem justifying spending that much on a car that couldn't sell for $6K after all the work done. Thanks!
@@surfingmussel That's a tough one. A timing belt with the water pump and pulleys isn't too big of a job. Hardest part it just aligning everything up. It's much easier to do when the old belt is intact because you can use a marker to copy the tooth count to gear locations. Honestly... doing just the belt service might be the best option in regards to cost. The whole level 3 is great, but it's a lot of work. Best of luck:)
The coolant temp sensor is located on the thermostat housing. You can see the thermostat replacement video I made here: th-cam.com/video/RTVSZIllXX0/w-d-xo.html
Hello. thanks for the great video tutorial on replacing the thermostat. but I noticed a pair of hoses leading to the thermostat from the heater. shouldn't they be the other way around? th-cam.com/video/o4eOCcxL1v4/w-d-xo.html . 3:00 min
That's a great observation. I'm pretty sure they're interchangeable because the passage is open between the two on the inside. To be honest, I just put them back where I thought they'd go because the hoses aren't OEM.
I did it today in cold poland . Thanks a lot , works. Short screw is a pain in the back.
It definitely is hard to access the short screw. Glad it helped.
Thank you for making this video👌
Thanks for taking a look. Happy you liked it.
