I've got a better question, why is this question in the Chevy venture forum ?
The thermostat on a 2004 Chevy Venture is changed by draining the radiator, removing the upper radiator hose, and unbolting the thermostat housing. The old thermostat and gasket can then be removed and replaced.
The thermostat on a 2001 Chevrolet Venture 6-cylinder 2-wheel drive car is located where the radiator hose ends. A replacement thermostat for a 2001 Chevy Venture is priced between $8.00 and $11.00 depending on where you buy it.
Yes
Something is wrong with your 2000 Chevy Venture. Better information get's better answers.
most likely the thermostat, but these vans also have a history of blowing head gaskets...... It would help if you described symptoms
The Thermostat on a 2000 Chevy Venture is located on the drivers side of the engine, it is mounted under the throttle-body of the fuel-air intake, u can follow the hose up to it, I have changed mine two time, although the throttle-body must be removed to access the Thermostat, and there are only three screws holding the thermostat housing on, it is somewhat hard to get at and I suggest that only someone who is familiar with working on cars try it.
My 2000 Chevy venture gets 24- 25 on the highway.
195 degree
it is located next to the crossover pipe for the exhaust. you have to remove it to get to the thermostat housing.
yes
The thermostat is located on the drivers side between the engine block and exhaust pipe that crosses over the transmission. Removal is a bear as you must remove the exhaust pipe to get to the bottom bolt of the thermostat housing. Good luck!
