Change thermostat fiat seicento

Answer 1

the thermostat on this model is built into the housing itself, make sure you can get the part first.

when i did it, you need a socket set with an extension bar.

you need to get a couple of bits out of the way first, remove the duct tube to take heat from the exhaust manifold to the air intake, just pulls off one end, but has a clip the exhaust end.

then unbolt the cables and stuff at about 4oclock from the thermostat, which is by the way at the right hand end of the engine block.

its just held on by 2 bolts.

they are easy enough to get out, but once you have the new one in place then make sure you have plenty of the blue liquid gasket on. don't over tighten but make sure its on tight.

i can't tell you how to get it in and out when its unbolted its a wiggle and it will come out then back in again.

its not that hard to be honest.
