What the thermostat housing water outlet on a 2002 explorer 4.0 is bolted to There is a leak below where it bolts to not the housing seal itself but the next seal down?
The thermostat water outlet failure is a very common failure in the Ford Explorer 2002. It is recommended that you replace the water outlet, the sensor, the thermostat and both seals one beneath the housing and engine and one between the thermostat cover and the housing itself. First disconnect the sensor cable, remove the three hoses, remove the three bolts that connects the housing to the engine and pull the part out. Clean the seat on the engine top, install the seals and reinstall the new part. Connect the hoses and the sensor cable. Refill Engine Coolant, Turn engine, wait for normal operating temperature and check for leaks. Parts from $200 to $250. Total labor 1 hour.
The base under the thermostat is a two piece molded plastic bonded together.
When the bond fails coolant leaks at the seam. A couple of screwdrivers an a little care they are not hard to separate without damage. There are three captive nuts that attach the thermostat cover but they do nothing to hold the base together (this is the main reason it fails). Discard the nuts, use three longer bolts that will hold all three pieces together. Bond the seam with black RTV. You can bolt the thermostat cover on first (with thermostat inside) and then bolt the assembly to its mount. One hour or less and no cost except a little RTV. OldAxe 80 and retired.

Where is the thermostat located on a 2000 olds intrigue?
On the 2002 model, it is on the left side (passenger) of the motor. It is the opposite of what we normally expect. The lower radiator hose is what attaches to the thermostat housing, along with the heater hose and overflow tank hose. I ended up buying the thermostat with housing for $27. No one would sell the thermostat by itself.

Where is the jiggle valve on a Jeep Cherokee?
The jiggle valve's a small hole on the thermostat itself (not a separate part). It's merely there to help free the system of trapped air. Follow the hose from the top of the radiator to the motor and you should find the thermostat housing. Removing the housing will reveal the thermostat and at the top of the Tstat should be a small hole -- that would be the jiggle valve (if your thermostat actually has one).

How do you change a Thermostat on a 95 eagle vision?
To change the thermostat-- * drain the cooling system down to thermostat level (or lower) * remove the two (2) thermostat housing bolts, and the housing itself * remove old thermostat, discard gasket and clean both gasket sealing surfaces (pay attention to the orientation of the thermostat when you took it out; it only works one way) * install the new thermostat * place new gasket onto water box surface, over the thermostat, and center the thermostat in the opening of the intake manifold * apply gasket sealant, if necessary * place the housing over the gasket and thermostat, and torque bolts down to 250 in. lbs. * refill cooling system to compensate for lost coolant
Thermostat on a 1995 eagle vision?
The engine thermostat is located in a water box, formed in the front of the lower intake manifold. The thermostat sits inside a housing, identifiable by its air bleed, and by the large radiator hose that attaches it to the radiator. To change the thermostat-- * drain the cooling system down to thermostat level (or lower) * remove the two (2) thermostat housing bolts, and the housing itself * remove old thermostat, discard gasket and clean both gasket sealing surfaces (pay attention to the orientation of the thermostat when you took it out; it only works one way) * install the new thermostat * place new gasket onto water box surface, over the thermostat, and center the thermostat in the opening of the intake manifold * apply gasket sealant, if necessary * place the housing over the gasket and thermostat, and torque bolts down to 250 in. lbs. * refill cooling system to compensate for lost coolant
How do you change the thermostat on a 2001 Honda CR-V?
Locate the top radiator hose. Find where it connects to the engine, there is a cast-metal housing that the hose connects to. Remove the hose from the casting and the casting from the engine. Inside the housing is the thermostat. As you remove it, pay particular attention to the direction the thermostat is placed in the inlet side. Install the new thermostat and reassemble in the reverse order. It isn't necessary to get the replacement from a dealer, the thermostat itself is inexpensive when bought at an auto parts store.
How do you locate the engine coolant temperature sensor on a vehicle to replace it?
coolant temperature sensor are located where the coolant runs in the block near the thermostat housing normally the connector are on top of the sensor and the sensor itself screws in with a deep socket. The temperature sensor is usaully located where the coolant runs OUT of the engine close to thermostat housing.
How do you locate and replace the thermostat on a 1998 Mazda Protege?
On almost all cars, the thermostat housing is right where the top radiator hose meets the engine itself. Drain 50% of the coolant,remove the housing bolts, remove the thermostat (note how it is positioned so you don't put the new one in upside down) scrape the old gasket material off the engine and housing, put new thermostat in, put new gasket in place, attatch housing with bolts (don't overtighten)...and refill with coolant. If there is a screw on the housing, start car, loosen screw until coolant starts to come out with no bubbles. This will bleed air out of the system so the motor doesn't overheat.
How do you replace the thermostat housing on a 1993 mark viii?
This is easier than I thought it would be. Took about 20-30 mins. The housing itself is not attached to the block or any stationary object under the hood. It is actually held up and in place by the 4 hoses that attach to it. Remove the hose clamps and the hoses and the thermostat housing will just come out. Scott Fuller 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII owner
