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.

How do you replace a thermostat on a Buick rendezvous?
I had to pay a dealership $450 to change the thermostat on the 3.4L engine. You have to remove the crossover exhaust manifold. Once that is out of the way, the thermostat itself is easy. Before the manifold is removed, I could only touch one of the two bolts holding the thermostat housing in place, much less get a wrench on it. Good Luck! after i read this i had to say something. I've changed thermostat on a 2002 Buick rendezvous before, it wasn't hard and you don't have to remove the exhaust crossover pipe.I could not reach the back two bolts on the cross over manifold, so I took off the last piece of the air intake where the throttle position sensor is located. At that point I could get a wrench down there a slowly loosen the lower bolt enough to slide out the thermostat housing, and eventually the thermostat. It took me a couple of hours to complete a task that on any other car would take 30 minutes or so.

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.
