@@ambitionoliver5928 did you add any silicone or sealant to the radiator pipe once you put the top assembly or did you just twist back on to the pipe ?
@Rob-f3g2e Yes, it was some peanut butter looking rubber sealant. It worked perfectly. I had put it around the thermostat after replacing the rubber gasket that goes inside of the metal pipe connected to the metal thermostat. Make sure you replace all gaskets if the car was overhearing or if gaskets was never changed. The rubber sealant will give off a burning rubber smell if you got a little on the metal.
@@Rob-f3g2e The gasket, I want to say tell them you need a thermostat gasket. It's the thick one. Do not get the rubber one that looks like an oil filter ring. It's thick rubber that looks durable
Great video!! How long did it take you to do the whole job?
@@lycant4030 About 45 minutes total.
The hardest part is taking that 15 bolt off the back of the engine then having to remove thermostat housing
How were you able to put your hand and your wrench to the 15 mm? There’s like barley any space
@@bry4n_014 I know, it sucks. Just keep trying and adjust your body. Go slow and make sure that it is flushed to the socket.
Did you only replace the upper housing assembly Or did you remove the lower assembly as well ?
@@Rob-f3g2e Just remove the upper. You can take the bolt out of the lower so it moves a little for you
