    I'd be pretty upset if he dented the side of my car with those jack stands.

    is all that necessary to change the thermostat? I can see it right under the air intake

      it’s really not bro just get to the thermostat after removing the intake and make sure you don’t spill the coolant everywhere. he did a lot of extra steps i guess it’s the professional way

      ​@@wavyj1776some will come out, I would just hold the hose upward with something and whatever spills out the housing I'd just refill and bleed. If you go that route

    Why do I need to take the belt off?

      I'm guessing so you don't get any coolant on the belt, which can cause it to slip.

      You don't .. in fact you don't have to disconnect the battery, you don't have to chalk the wheels, or take off the belt.

    I’m going to cut corners and skip the coolant draining. I am not flushing the system . How much coolant can possibly be wasted from the thermostat location ? Not much

    Why do you remove the belt? So fluids don't get on it? Thanks

      Just finished this job. The belt will definitely get soaked when you remove the antifreeze hose. Removing and reinstalling the belt actually took 2 mins. Not bad at all. It's best to remove it.👌 Total time getting tools and cleaning up less than 2 hours.

    At time index 5:22, the torque settings for thermostat housing bolts are stated as 108 inch-Lbs. This torque setting broke the bolt. Why so high a torque setting? Some car wheel lug nut settings can be 80 Lbs. I do not see how the stress of the water pressure in the coolant system can be more than the stress on wheel lug nuts (???).

    So what you're saying is 'don't do this by yourself,' go to the dealership or another mechanic who has the proper tools. How about instead, I just never purchase a car like this?

      Every car is gonna have its problems some sooner than others some rare but a vehicle is to be driven around, overtime its parts are going to wear out, you sound a like a girl that doesn't like getting their hands dirty, stick to getting uber rides or your parents driving you around 😂

      priced the repair on google and it came up around $450, vs $50 or so for the stat, and 150 for new coolant. Figuring at 125,000 miles it's about time for a change. Working on the son in law's car,
      Personally my cars are much more sedate, ergo no battery in the trunk cause there's no room, under the hood
