Excellent video and explanation of how to replace thermostat and remove housing after watching your video I’m confident enough now that I can do my own repairs and save a few bucks thanks my friend 👍
Hello Sam! I want to thank you for taking your time to share your experience that this video is going to help you with your thermostat replacement on your car. Take well care Sam!
Hello Justin! First of all, thank you for taking your time to watch our video and for supporting our channel. We are happy to hear that this video was helpful. Take well care Justin!
I've replaced a few thermostats before but not on the V6 3.0 Camry. Had no idea it's so involved and convoluted. I know when I dropped couple of those nuts in the engine compartment, it will be forever lost. Thanks for the detailed video, a life saver and better than a repair manual.
Well explained my man! The first time I did the thermostat on my 2001 Avalon, I could not believe what I'd gotten myself into. I ended up removing parts that now I see and realize I didn't have to. Took me a couple of hours, total overkill and it was a bear. Now I have to do the thermostat on my Avalon again. I feel much better about what needs to be done after watching your excellent, step by step explanation via your clear and concise video. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel. You deserve all the success that will come your way. Keep up the good work, thank you and take care bro. Jim D.
Thanks! I was researching the Fel-Pro o-ring #35654 for hard pipe versus the thermostat housing seal gasket #35445 (which is for thermostat itself) You helped me resolve it by showing the inner flange of water pump housing. Thanks.
Great video and just wanted to add that the thermostat’s jiggle valve can be 15° either side of the stud above it. This is according to the Toyota dealership’s service manual. 😊

Great video i thought it was on the other side lol ,i got a open thermostat that wont work any more thats good in a way no overheating but the engine is not going to normal temperature like it should idling fast wasting fuel to get hot .......
Hello George! You are right, at least it is open and fluid stills circulates and does cooling. On the other hand, like you said the engine will use more fuel do to trying to warm up to normal operation temperature but will be hard to do with a open thermostat. Thank you for sharing your situation. Take well care George!
Hey I have a p0128 code on my 2000 toyota solara.. IDK if it's the thermostat or the coolant temperature sensor.. and I don't know where the sensor is located.. please help
Nice video, though I think you may have missed one clamp on the hose above the thermostat housing. Have you done one on a 2011 Avalon 3.0L V6 yet? Thanks again!
Hello Bigg! We are very happy to hear from you that this video had helpful info. Thank you for taking your time on sharing your comment. Take well care Bigg Matt!
Hello bdramsey1! Remember that for this replacement, the coolant has to be drained all out to avoid coolant gush. Not all coolant will be drained out of the engine but we recommend to slowly disconnect hoses to control any spills. Take well care bdramsey1!
@@elchanojose, that's the exact question I had about "the coolant needs to be drained first". I didn't see that mentioned in your video tho. Perhaps you could edit the video and add that in? I had to dig around in the Q&A section to find it. I'm a 64 year old grandmother of six....who likes to tinker with cars!! Thank you for making a quality video with just the right content (and no excessive camera shake, no annoying background music, no foul language, etc). From your video, I got the info I needed to get the job done! Much appreciated!
Hola Enrique! Muchas gracias por tomar tu tiempo para ver nuestro vídeo y nos alegra mucho de que nos compartas de que nuestra información fuera útil. Saludos Enrique!
Hello! If you are replacing the thermostat, we recommend that you take out as much of the old coolant so when you put everything back together and fill the system with new coolant. Drain the old coolant to replace the thermostat and add new coolant one job is done. Take well care!
Hello Da Pinoy Pyro! Yes, you have to drain the coolant out of the system and our recommendation is that if the coolant has not been replace in a long time, it would be a good idea to drain it all out and replace the coolant with frees one and new thermostat. But, if you only want to change the thermostat, drain as much out and just put it back in as long it is clean of contaminants or debris. Take well care Da Pinoy Pyro!

My new thermostat does not have that piece. It did not come with a rubber seal on it either
Do you need to flush coolant before replacing?
Hello! If you are replacing the thermostat, we recommend that you take out as much of the old coolant so when you put everything back together and fill the system with new coolant. Drain the old coolant to replace the thermostat and add new coolant one job is done. Take well care!
Good idea doing the job before making the video, I bet it made the video go a lot smoother. 😉
Hello Cj! We actually found this car taken a part and we put it in one pice as much as we could to show the process! Take well care Cj!
Probably should have left the part on so I know where it is. You just have something in your hand. Where the hell did it come from?
What's the name of that sensor connected to the thermostat housing??
About to replace my thermostat now. Do I need to drain my radiator before I start. It's a 2002 Toyota avalon.
Second Time here in 4 months 😭😭
What is the thermostat part number?
do we need to disconnect the Battery connection?
How long does it take
Do you have to drain coolant or no?
Hello Da Pinoy Pyro! Yes, you have to drain the coolant out of the system and our recommendation is that if the coolant has not been replace in a long time, it would be a good idea to drain it all out and replace the coolant with frees one and new thermostat. But, if you only want to change the thermostat, drain as much out and just put it back in as long it is clean of contaminants or debris. Take well care Da Pinoy Pyro!
