2 hoses total, Upper and lower radiator hose. There is also 2 heater hoses, an inlet and outlet hose.
2 radiator hoses / the top radiator hose comes from the engine thermostat / and the bottom radiator hose returns to the engine water pump
On a 1997 Ford Explorer : The 4.0 liter V6 engine has ( 1 ) engine coolong thermostat where the top radiator hose connects to the engine
Check the lower radiator hose that connects to the engine. While it is "usually" at the upper hose, it is at the lower hose in many hondas. The tip off is that the housing will be bigger than the housing at the end of the other hose and will be semicircular to accomodate the shape of the thermostat.
AnswerBy following the lower radiator hose that goes in to the back of engine you will find the thermostat housing. The temperature sensor is located there too for the 1992 1.5 (1.6) liter engine and many newer ones. Should you need to replace the temperature sensor in a motor prior to 1992, it is located under the distributor on the head closer to the firewall than the radiator.
On a typical vehicle, you follow the top hose from the radiator to the engine block. The housing where the hose connects to the engine block contains the thermostat.Remove 2-3 bolts and the housing prys off. Biggest problem is getting to the housing/bolts.Check out the Chilton's repair manual at your local library (in the reference section) for more details.AnswerIT IS USUALLY LOCATED WHERE THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE GOES INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK. AnswerOn many cars (the 1990 v4 Camry in particular) the thermostat is behind the bottom hose. Either way, follow the top hose to the engine. If the area that the top hose connects to the engine looks like it can be taken off (the area should be no bigger than 2 or 3 full fists) then your thermostat is in that housing. If the hose connects directly to the engine (not some detachable housing) then the bottom hose is the one you are looking for, remove the housing at the engine end of the hose and your thermostat is there.. AnswerIt is in the radiator hose there are only 2 so it shouldn't be hard to find.

( 2 ) top and bottom radiator hose
If the system is dry, then it will hold 17.5 qts.
All the parts making up a cooling system for the oil in an engine. Small radiator in the front, a hose or line to and from that radiator to a plate or box at which the oil filter will be attached. Not many cars have them.
That will vary greatly among different engine designs. Some V12's displace over 24 Liters others are small as 4 Liters (relatively small haha). If you are changing your coolant then make sure the bottom radiator hose is attached and fill the engine block with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water through the thermostat housing (thermostat removed of course) reinstall the thermostat, connect the upper radiator hose and fill the radiator with the 50/50 mix. Close the radiator cap and run the engine for 5 mins, shut her down and refill the radiator. Job done! -CJP
On a 3.4L engine there is a metal adapter bolted to the engine that the upper radiator hose attaches to. It is on the right side and is a nightmare to get to. Many parts must be removed to get the adapter off. The thermostst is inside the adapter.
There is only one, and that is at the top of the engine. The hose from the top of the radiator leads to the top of the assembly. Take out the two bolts, and the thermostat is right under there
