Is it necessary to remove the exhaust crossover pipe to replace the thermostat on a 2003 Buick Rendezvous?
You can do it if you remove the heat shield it works.
Where is the thermostat located on a 2005 Chevy Venture?
it is on the driver's side of the vehicle behind the exhaust crossover pipe. follow the radiator hose from the radiator to the engine on the driver's side. removal of the crossover pipe would be best but it can be down without removing the crossover pipe. if you choose not to remove the crossover pipe, it will be considerably harder. you will have to use a cresent ( adjustable) wrench to loosen the bolts on the thermostat housing and you will not be able to see the bottom bolt or gasket. you will be working blind.
Where is the thermostat housing on a 99 Chevy Malibu?
If it is like my 2000 Malibu V6, this housing is located behind the exhaust crossover pipe. This is the pipe from the front exhaust manifold to the rear exhaust manifold. If you remove the air intake ducts and and airflow meter, you will get a better view of the housing, the top radiator hose is attached to it. If you remove the exhaust crossover pipe, it will be a lot easier to remove this housing. I believe you can remove the housing without removing the crossover pipe, but it will be a little trickier, especially upon installaltion. The bolt sizes are either 10mm or 8mm, don't exactly recall. The bolt sizes on the exhaust crossover are 13mm, a deep socket is needed here.
Where is the thermostat located on a 1999 Chevy Venture?
it is located next to the crossover pipe for the exhaust. you have to remove it to get to the thermostat housing.
How do you replace a thermostat in a 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix SE?
Is the engine a 3.1? If so it is easist to remove the crossover pipe, then the thermostat housing.
How do you replace the thermostat located on a 2001 Pontiac Montana?
Begin by draining the coolant. Next, you have to remove the exhaust crossover pipe that runs around the rear of the engine, just over the transmission. This will require tilting the engine forward so you can reach the bolts on the rear manifold. Remove the upper radiator hose from the thermostat housing and then remove the bolts. The thermostat is in the recess in the intake manifold. Reverse the process to re-assemble. This little job took me about 4 hours to do. Good Luck and God Bless.
How do you replace the thermostat on a 2000 Pontiac Montana 3.4?
1. Drain cooling system. 2. Remove throttle body assy to make room. 3. Remove heat shield from the exhaust crossover pipe. 4. Disconnect crossover pipe from forward exhaust manifold. NOTE Crossover pipe should be slightly flexible enough to allow access to the bolts holding the water outlet housing on. 5. Remove hose, disconnect water temp sensor, and remove bolts from water outlet housing. 6. Remove outlet housing and replace the thermostat in the same direction as the original. (Also a good idea to replace the sensor since you already have the housing off the vehicle.) Installation is the reverse. Purge air from the cooling system by slightly loosening the two brass bolts (1 ea on the water pump and the thermostat housing) to allow trapped air to escape. Check for leaks
How do you change the thermostat on a chevy venture?
Remove the air inlet duct tube. Remove the heat shield from the exhaust and move it out of the way. Unbolt the crossover exhaust pipe bolts from the from the front exhaust pipes move it out of the way. Unbolt the thermostat housing pipe and remove the thermostat. Installation is reverse.

How do you change the thermostat on a 1995 Chevy Lumina LS?
I'm strugling with that right now. The thermostate is in a difficult position. follow the upper radiator hose and it leads into the block under the throttle body. Remove the air filter assembly and you'll c what is the exhaust manifold crossover pipe right in front of the thermostate housing. NICE, it gives you very little room to remove the 2 bolts to the housing and once u remove those then you'll find you have the thermostate housing loose but because of that darn exhaust manifold crossover pipe u don't have enough room to take the thermostate housing out to change the stinking thermostate. So from what I can see you have to remove the heat shield which is cased around the exhauste manifold croosover pipe and if you still can't get enough room to remove the thermostate, (which I'm about to find out)then you'll have to remove the crossover pipe as well just to change the thermostate. If you (and me) do have to remove the crossover pipe then their are 2 bolts on both ends of the pipe leading into the manifolds. But then the tough parts done and once u switch the thermostate over and ATTENTION:remove any old gasket material and put a new gasket in it's place then installation is reverse of removal.
Where is the thermostat located in the 2002 rendezvous I do not find at end of top radiator hose going to the engine?
The thermostat on your car is hidden. It is not at the end of the upper radiator hose as most car are. Your car should have an exhaust crossover pipe on it either on the d/s or the p/s side of the engine. You will need to remove that crossover pipe to gain access to the thermostat. You will need to remove the thermostat bipass pipe also. I hope this has been helpful. If you have any more questions, you can e-mail me at GMmechanic@gmail.com.
