Tools a new thermostat and gasket and coolant
all you need to change the thermostat is a #25 trox driver- there are three screws 2 at the top and 1 on the lower left side
do i need to change the manifold when replacing thermostat
The thermostat is under the housing that the top radiator hose connects to, remove the hose then the housing and change the thermostat. The bolts are metric so be prepared with the proper tools.
NO
To change the thermostat, you first need to get a new one. Then you can take it out and replace with the new one.
It is not hard if you have the proper tools. Drain the radiator and remove the upper hose at the engine. Remove the thermostat housing and install the thermostat. Clean the surfaces and install the new thermostat.
buy service manual buy necessary tools follow instructions
we need to change out the thermostat on a 1996 VW 2.4 diesel engine Transporter and we need the schematic for it; where is the darned thing and how do you get it out to change it
You need only to drain off a couple quarts of coolant to change the thermostat.
I woul highly recomend it but you dont need to
Not needed as the thermostat is on top of the engine on the right.
