If your mechanic installed a new thermostat in your car and it did not work so your car overheated and cracked your cylinder head is it his fault and if so how can you prove it?

If the thermostat failed it is not the fault of the mechanic, he didn't build the thermostat he just installed it. If it failed because of improper installation that is another story. But you are also At Fault,maybe more so than the mechanic ever hear of a temperature gauge. it doesn't just get to hot all of a sudden that happens with not stopping when it get in the red zone.

Im leaking coolant at the thermostat on your ford focus 1.4 cl 2001?
Are you sure it isn't the hose leaking AT the thermostat housing? If the car ever overheated on you, there may be a warped head. If so, you're in a BIT of trouble. Let a mechanic look at it. A consultation should cost you little or nothing.

How much does it cost to replace a head gasket on a 1993 jeep wrangle with 6 cylinder engine and is it possible the mechanic broke it when fixing the radiator and water pump?
not sure of the cost. I doubt the mechanic broke the headgasket. More than likely when the radiator and water pump went bad the engine overheated enough to ruin the headgasket.

First, if you haven't warped the head, try replacing the Thermostat and all the antifreeze to something new in this millineum. Second, make sure your radiator isn't leaking along with all of your collant hoses. If that doesn't take care of it, you should take it to a mechanic to get a checkup.

How do you replace a thermostat on a 1992 BMW 325I?
First one should go to a mechanic's school, or apprentice with a mechanic. You would have to learn about such things as an engine block, and where the thermostat is located. You would need jacks to get the car up high, and work your way to the thermostat housing, at which point you would disconnect the hose and bolts. This is a very complex question.
Why is your 2002 Chrysler sebring lxi 2.7 is overheating?
I had a similar issue one day, my friend mechanic advised that the thermostat had siezed, he removed the thermostat, cut the spring and re installed it, I have used it now for 4 months with no issues to date. Please check with a technician, as I reside on an Island that is constant 84 degrees and the engine does not really need a thermostat. As to update this, I have now used this car without the spring in the thermostat for nearly 2 years and without any issues, temp remains well below half way mark
