Should be in a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
location of the thermostat in 2002 Saturn sl sedan
sure you need to you can do it fast but you will need to add coolant and myu advice is to when you need to replace the thermostat its the time to replace the coolant
An auto thermostat is strictly a mechanical device, so no.
Trouble code P0128 means:Coolant thermostat (coolant temp below thermostat regulating temp)
Low coolant? defective thermostat? Heater core plugged, restricted, or airbound? Control cable not working? Water pump not circulating coolant?
Drain the coolant, remove the two bolts holding the thermostate on, pull it out, replace thermostat along with o-ring, refill coolant, bleed air from coolant.
Sure will. Thermostat will stick shut not allowing coolant to flow
To change the thermostat on a 2003 Dodge Neon SXT, first remove the drain plug to let the engine coolant drain into the pan. Unhook the coolant reservoir and remove the hose clamp. Spray the two thermostat housing mounting bolts with a solvent and pull out the old thermostat.
fill the coolant reserve and the light should go out
Check coolant level Could be a weak thermostat
It is in the intake manifold, by the thermostat housing
You need only to drain off a couple quarts of coolant to change the thermostat.
