My nephew bought one with 77k on it. Started overheating in a couple days. Dealer took ot back changed thermostat, started overheating, they didnt realize there was a second, changed that now running cool.
Just FYI to all you DIY people, it is 10/10 easier to do by removing the air box prior to removing hoses. It is 1 plastic clip attached to the fan shroud and 1 10mm bolt attached to the air box about a foot from the plastic clip mentioned earlier. 2 rubber bushings hold the rest in place and it easily slips off of them with a little elbow grease. Hope this helps!
Edit: also make sure your gaskets are properly seated. Just reassembled everything only to find out it was half ass seated😠
Yes thats what i did first the air box way much easier
I’d remove the box if I could find my 10mm socket.
I got a 2015 of these things. This thermostat is a cake walk compared to mine! Giant pain in the ass. The last bolt holding the thermostat was driving me crazy. If you got catchers mitt hands good luck
Remove that plastic piece and there goes your paint on your hood(that's what they are for. To protect the paint on your hood from the heat of your engine
I gotta change the thermostats in my 200. After watching this video im not looking forward to it
So, you only changed one thermostat? I assume that fixed your problem? Seems like a 50/50 gamble.
Plastic covers are usually to try to lower engine noise
I'm having an issue with my chysler200 2013, temp gauge stays mid range while driving but when idling ,temp will rise and overheat light will come on. once I get going again it will drop and stay mid range . any ideas ??
First I would check and make sure the coolant level is correct. If that is fine, you may have a partially stuck thermostat or other blockage, or your water pump may be starting to go bad and is not pumping enough at idle. These would be my best guess.
Did you ever find out your problem
Did you have functioning fans??
I had this issue, was a coolant leak at thermostat assembly, but more than likely you need a new thermostat housing, they’re plastic and being up against medal engine..... needless to say the designed it poorly. I hate this car because of the battery. Ima stay away from Chrysler and dodge from now on.
Would have been helpful if you had shown what kind of pliers finally did the job. Now, we have to go through the same process of elimination as you did.
If I remember correctly I ended up using a stubby pair with a slight bend in them, manly do to them being the only ones I had that would fit in the space given.
Thanks man.
Thank you for watching.
Can you do a video on adding Freon to this 200 or can you please tell me where on this engine is the lower nozzle so that I can refill it. Thank you.
Well as I’m not an actual mechanic I’m probably not the best person to ask. But thank you for watching.
Question.. was the 200 still over heating after you change it??
It seemed to have fixed the problem. Thank you for watching
@@JustAGearHead okay.. mines is doing the samething, but I think it's the ac compressor. Because it all started after I turned my ac on. And now it won't get as cold as before. Welcome
Which thermostat did you change. I was told I need the coolant changed
the one show here. www.moparpartsgiant.com/parts/mopar-thrmostat~55111016ad.html?Make=Chrysler&Model=200&Year=2012&Submodel=&Filter=()&Location=cooling-thermostat-related-parts,i2270398,3
didnt show where it is
The chrysler 200 has given me more problems than any other car iv ever had in my life holyfuck its a headache
T M, I haven't had a lot of problems with mine, but man is it a pain to work on.
I had both of those replaced 2 years ago...today on my way to work my car overheated....maybe pep boys put the wrong part in im not sure. This is a pain in the ass I can tell you lol
My wife's 2013 Chryser 200 doesn't have the engine cover. It was missing when we got the car. The cover is supposed to reduce engine noise. Do you notice any difference with cover on vs off?
There seems to be a fair amount of debate on what those covers actually do. So far I haven’t noticed any real difference in the way the car sounds or performs. Thanks for watching.
Usas algún clase de silicón para sellar bien las uniones?
Sounds like a Ghost song
I had a car that had the COVER OVER ENGINE..... THE ASSHOLE MECHANIC DECIDED TO TOSS IT ...SAID ITS NOT ESSENTIAL..... HONESTLY WE PREFER YOU MECHANICS DONT ALTER OUR CARS😡
This is my personal car and I think they look like crap. Also I'n not a professional mechanic, Just a Gearhead.
Its not just a cover it catches air from below and flows it over the car. It is an integral part of the operation and efficiency of the car.
@@rickbyrd8742 I haven't put it back on since this was filmed and the car operates and performs exactly as it did before, If it was "integral" the car wouldn't function properly with out it.
@@JustAGearHead not necessarily. The difference could be so small than u don't noticed.
@@migascustomsounds3054 still not "integral" .
Did it fix the issue? LOL!!!!!
It fixed one issue, but then I ended up with another were I had to replace the rad.
