To change the thermostat on a Kia Sorrento you will first need to make sure the car is completely cool since the thermostat is located near the radiator.

Locate the top hose comimg out of radiator, this hose will run to the Thermostat housing, ENSURE YOU BUY THE CORRECT THERMOSTAT from auto shop, thermostat should come with gasket (enquire at shop if not purchase one), ensure car is cold, remove the hose, remove the two nuts holding thermostat housing on, remove old thermostat (take note of how old thermostat is fitted, a useful tool for this is a digital camera, so that when you fit the new one you can assure yourself that it is correct), clean both surfaces, place in new thermostat, gasket, refit thermostat housing, refit top radiator hose top radiator and overflow tank with correct coolant (if required or water), start car and ensure no leaks are present, take car for a trip to ensure it gets to running temperature but doesn't go over, pop bonnet and check for leaks again, if none all should be ok. Hope this helps. Iain.
The thermostat for a 1984 Lincoln Town Car is under the top hose inlet. The inlet is bolted to the top of the engine and is easy to remove.
Have you checked the water level in the coolant expansion tank, if low this will not heat up the car. If level ok maybe thermostat is stuck Have you checked the water level in the coolant expansion tank, if low this will not heat up the car. If level ok maybe thermostat is stuck
