Thanks for sharing this! Attempting this job on my 2010 Mazda 3. Should be fun :)
no problem, thanks for stopping by, be sure to subscribe for more content!
Thank you guys. Excellent video just what I needed
thanks for watching
I know it been a long while but did that fix you problem. I’ve got the same code and I changed the temp sensor and I am changing the thermostat too. Thanks for any help
Great instruction, makes it easy to do it yourself
thanks, I appreciate it.
Yeah it's a pretty easy install
Thanks for Watching!
Sangat bermanfaat. Informasi tentang ini (bongkar pasang thermostat untuk mobil mazda 3)
Is it necessary to remove the serpentine belt for this job? I know it makes the job a lot easier for the extra space but my belt is too tight to remove atm but want to fix the thermostat first before fixing whats wrong w the belt. Thanks
So how did you bleed the air out of the system? I changed my thermostat and at an idle its not warming up with the heat on. Definitely air in the system.
awesome video, thanks!
Thanks for Watching!
Hello, question. did you have to reset the engine light or did it go away it's self? thanks. great video btw
Hey Alex,
after we got all of air out of the lines, coolant and everything back up to temperature, the Check Engine Light went off shortly after.
If it doesn't automatically go off, reset it and you should be all good
Thanks for Watching!
nice!! how much liters coolant should be supplemented afterwards?
you can use the min/max fill line on your coolant reservoir when adding back the coolant, and may have to play around with the in/out lines to get all of air out of the lines to fully circulate.
Thanks for Watching!
Would this work on a 2013 mazdaspeed 3???
Was car overheating before changing thermostat?
Great install video...wondering what brand for the coolant thermostat you used?
thanks! don't remember what brand of coolant was used.
sorry wondering about the thermostat brand not the coolant
haha oops my bad. makes more sense :D
BECK/ARNLEY 1430838 I believe, from rock auto hope that helps, just an OEM Replacement
It's the farts that made me believe I could do it. Bout to do it now already have my water pump pulled. Thanks
how long an extension do you need to get those bolts down at the bottom?
I'd say around 8-10"
Thanks for stopping by
Thank you muchachos good video me ayudo mucho
nice video... tks for sharing
anytime :D
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you good Job
Please make the tools needed to change the thermostat.
Is a P0128 code the same thing?
not 100% sure but I would say yes, because P0128 is a coolant thermostat malfunction. Thanks for Watching
feel free to reach out anytime!
I just took my drain plug out to change my antifreeze and for some reason I can not get my drain plug to screw back in. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts as to why this is not working for me? I have a 2006 Mazda 3 and the drain plug looks just like what you took out. I have tried removing the washer to see if I could get it to screw in because at first I thought maybe I could not compress the washer enough to get to the threads and get it started but it is almost like there are no threads for my drain plug to screw in to. I am confused and frustrated.
There is the possibility that the housing has stripped threads?
is it continually turning 360degrees and not holding/screwing in? or...
It is a plastic plug that came out, 103k miles on car, doesn't sound logical to me that the threads in the radiator would be stripped but nothing makes any sense about this situation to me.
so is it spinning and just not grabbing the threads? or..
Seems like it can not go in far enough to reach thread or there are no threads inside the hole I took it out of. The hole is too small for me to get a finger in to feel for threads. I took the washer off of the drain plug but still got no threads to hold. I am completely stunned, thought maybe someone might know a trick to it.
interesting.... did you try getting like a flashlight to see what's up?
Is it necessary to drain the coolant??
some people don't. but if you haven't this is a great time to do so. otherwise you may forget about it until the coolant is not protecting the engine as designed. do you really want to chance this?
I changed my thermostat and filled it up but now its blowing hot air when I drive but once I stop it gets cold. Why?
When my car was brand new it used to blow hot air now it doesn't. I guess this means I do need to change my thermostat.
Hey did you found the problem
Always pays to test that thermostat works before you go to all that trouble of putting it back in . They have been known to not work correctly straight out of the box .
Do i need to buy a gasket too?
A new gasket should already be on the new thermostat. Thanks for Watching!
5:19 a REAL mechanic
How much is an Original Thermostat?
like $25 or so haha can't go wrong
thanks for watching!
Use steel wool #0000 instead of a scraper/blade :-)
we have the exact same car!
haha awesome! how many miles do you have on it? any problems?
I have around 164K running strong ;)
Thanks for Watching!
4:45 on repeat is quite funny :)
great video since my wife car has the p0126 code.
Thanks Alex!
Your video has given me the confidence to change this part myself. Just one question! After connecting everything back together. Is there anything else I need to do or just start the engine and go? Thanks
That's awesome! let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions
once everything is back together, fill up the coolant reservoir again with coolant until you're at the right level, and you may need to get all the air out of the lines as well. (turn on your heat while doing this because you'll be able to feel the heat to know the coolant is circulating properly) Your check engine light should disappear in a little while after, if it doesn't just have the CEL cleared and you should be all good to go. Again, let me know if you have any problems or questions
Thanks for Watching!
well...u skipped most important part. Filling up with coolant, idle with cap on or without? and air bleeding ...
Gosh Damn..only needed 8 minutes to know this is too much a job for me...time for a new car i guess
haha it's pretty simple. Bring your laptop out in the garage and follow it step by step :D
Thanks for Watching!
