I have an 09, 4-cilinder G6 and there is a pipe covering one of the bolts of the thermostat housing. I am guessing that is the thermostat bypass pipe. I have no idea how to get to that bolt.
While this series of videos is helpful, they still leave me scratching my head at times. If you take the time to clean up the mating surface of thermostat at the block side, why would you skip cleaning up the water neck side? Surely it would have crud on its surface also which could cause a leak. DIY'ers, don't skip the details.

Definitely not the location of my thermostat, 08 G6 3.5 liter
Not for a 2007 g6 3.5l
did you took anything else out of the way before you started taking the hose and thermostat housing?
Does the bumper have to be removed to drain coolant?
Exactly I got a V6 3500

What size engine is this for? There are two v6 and one 4 cylinder for 2008
He's got the ecotech label on the engine cover visible, it's the 4. I have the same thing.

So it should be snug when putting the new one on. I replaced mine and it wasn't a snug fit
So the thermostat is at the bottom hose ??
This doesn’t work for the convertible
Not the same on all G6 motors/years
Totally different on a 2008 so your caption is wrong
It is correct for other years.
This skipped so many steps it wasn't helpful at all. Tires are off, I have no steering wheel, but thanks anyway
