I've just done this on my S40, it's a bit awkward but absolutely doable. The lower bolt is blind but it has a clear path past the manifold so just use a straight extension of the right length. Also, slip your middle finger under the thermostat from the left to feel the bolt and 'point' the socket onto it.
@@cransaftvalve734 me neither, thinking of changing mine myself and maybe with a friend.. i think its too expensive to leave the job to a service center for this easy job. but i have not seen any good video about how to replace/change it. On this specific engine. I need to replace the coolant also anyway.. flush the radiator at least. Please let me know if you change the thermostat and house.
@@reinerstoff2321 a big job then. My issue is that temperature gauge is one line before normal temperature when needle is on center top. When normal driving. Creeps up to center when going a bit more slow in traffic and such. Dont know what causing that. In summer the needle can lower even a little bit more. Temperature sensor faulty? Thermostat not open/closing correctly? Issues with glycol/antifreeze? Radiator fan maybe cooling down engine to much? Suggestions?

Gut das das Video auch bei Fords funktioniert
How could you reach those 3 screws? Did you take off some more parts to be able to take off those three screws?
What about purge the system, some screw to bleed air?: Was ist mit dem System zu spülen, einige Schrauben, um Luft abzulassen?
As far as I know the system does not need to be vented.

I dont understand Deutsch. Was it easy to remove the thermostat? Do i need to replace the whole house? Or can i just replace the thermostat?
Yes you need to replace the whole house. It is one piece.

@@reinerstoff2321 How to remove the screws? You doesnt show how you do.
Did you ever find out what the problem was? Mine is doing the same
@@user-eo2wv7kx6t yes, replaced thermostat and temperature sensor.
