white smoke is burning of water, did they have the head pressure tested(could be cracked), also was it checked for warping, have a leak donw test done
Taking into consideration that I have spent a lot of time and effort on my TD4 it could be the crankcase vent filter that needs to be replaced or a leak in the intercooler pipes, mine had the same problem and now eventually the Turbo died a sudden death after 370000 km !
The thermostat is done it has to be replaced.......
Hi, I recently replaced the coolant temperature sensor and thermostat on my '01 GTP. Are you referring to the temp. sensor? If so it's directly below the thermostat on the top of the motor obviously towards the driver's side. take the plastic cover off of the top of the motor and follow the upper raditor house down to the neck on the top of the intake manifold. directly below that is the sensor screwed into the manifold right below the neck (where the thermostat is).
that's what it is, i have a lumina, had same problem, replaced the intake manifold. run like a top since
You may have the problem of your intake manifold gaskets. They are a problems on the lumina. I had to have mine replaced due to the same thing. Also check if your coolant is mixing with your oil if it is. Than it is definitally your intake manifold gasket.
brilliant, the thermostat is backwards
You don't. You replace a thermostat that has failed. They are meant to be replaced.
Can not be repaired, only replaced with the thermostat housing as one unit.
If the thermostat has failed it will need replaced.
In general, engine thermostats can be found by following the LOWER radiator hose to where it attaches to the engine. The hose is typically attached to a fitting behind which is a gasket and the thermostat. The gasket needs to be replaced when the thermostat is replaced.
had the same problem with a sibring,took to the garage,they replaced the thermostat and gasket and found a hairline crack in the thermostat housing they replaced the housing and everything was fine then
Blown head gastet, radiator leaking, thermostat needs to be replaced Blown head gastet, radiator leaking, thermostat needs to be replaced
