No
The thermostat is inside of the water inlet on top of the motor. Disconnect the top water hose, then unbolt the water inlet. The thermostat can then be changed.
Change your thermostat.
when the thermostat will not open when placed in a cup of boiling water
take the water outlet off the top of the engine and the thermostat should be right there
I am not familiar with the Audi, but on most cars, the thermostat is at the point where the top hose leaves the engine to go to the radiator. A bad thermostat can make your car overheat. If it has not been changed since 1992 it should have been changed long ago.
Change the thermostat. lol. Simple but the water pump wont work if the thermostat is stuck closed. Good luck. Kyle
First check the water level. Low level will not get to the heater core. Change the thermostat. If you recently changed the thermostat, bleed the coolant system.
No You don't Need to change the water pump But you should change it and the thermostat if radiator was full of sludge. if not then no to both.
YES!! And also change the thermostat while in there. i have to agree... its not real expensive when you already have the timing belt off... i got one for $60 (new)
The thermostat on a 1992 LeSabre should be inside of the top radiator hose inlet. You can easily change it by removing the top hose and water inlet.
Thermostat is the whole water outlet on the waterpump.
The thermostat should be on the top of the engine under the water inlet. Drain the radiator. Remove the top radiator hose from the inlet. Unbolt the inlet, and pull the thermostat out for replacement.
