Try this: Use A drill bit aproximately 1/16inch, Drill A hole in the flatest part of the T-stat in the tin part not the expansion valve, Reinstall it and fill with water. This will let all the air out so it does not have to get the engine really hot before the T-stat opens. burp the water line get the air out of the system Answer #3 Air in the cooling system. Answer #1 is a good answer but going after the thermostat a second or third time is a pain. There's a water transfer / crossover tube on the top of the engine. In the center of the tube is a square hole that a ¼" drive ratchet or breaker bar will fit. Standard counter clockwise rotation will remove it. You can then finish filling the cooling system through that hole until the full level when cold is reached in the coolant recovery plastic bottle. Screw lid back onto the crossover pipe start engine & run until thermostat opens. Your done. Then the next morning before you start your engine, check water level in the coolant recovery plastic bottle and adjust as necessary. drl

When My vauxhall frontera overheats with thermostat in place when i take the thermostat out it runs normal would you say that the thermostat is not opening?
Absolutely. I would definitely replace this. You can check this by making sure that when you remove the thermostat it is cold and then dropping the thermostat into a bowl of boiling hot water and see if it reacts..... if it doesn't then that's the problem! If it does then flush the coolant system through with some radiator flush and then flush through with clean water before renewing antifreeze and water.

First release pressure fromradiator cap. (Best to do with the engine cold) Locate the thermostat housing at engine end of top radiator hose. Remove 3 10mm bolts on housing. Remove housing. Remove thermostat. Fill engine with coolant directly below thermostat. Install new thermostat. Locate small hole in thermostat and line up with the highest point of housing. Reinstall housing. Fill radiator expansion tank with fluid. Reinstall radiator cap. Start engine with heater on. Watch the temp gauge til up to normal temp. If it continues to rise shut the engine off (do not overheat). If it does overheat check fluid and try again. If it keeps running too hot the system will need to be bled.
