- I replace the thermostat on a Jeep Renegade. This car is a 2016 with only 40,000 miles. I bought the part on rock auto for $80. The dealership quoted me $800 to replace this little thing. Save money and do it yourself.

If you look on the backside of the coolent reservoir. There is a fill mark . If the code comes up it may just be low coolent mine was just that. When it gets hot it will drop below the mark . Causing the service engine light to come on. Just add coolent and disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and reconnect. Mine was not overheating just was being tripped by being low on coolent. Alot of people may being doing unnecessary repairs or by themselves or the dealerships.
Definitely appreciate you for doing this video. Dealership just quoted me $1129.00 to replace this thing. He also tried to say the part was inside the engine closer to the bottom…far away from the catalytic converter that they JUST replaced due to a recall.
Still waiting going on 4 months for my catalytic converter recall to get fixed. They've been waiting forever on parts
Nice work
Thanks for the video, just did this job and it really helped me out 👍
How long did it take you?
@@ladybuggs79 Only 5 hours 🤣
Thanks, I was trying to figure out if I should wait til morning… I think I will!
@@ladybuggs79 Good luck! I took my time because it wasn't my car and wanted to get it right. Also stopped for dinner and a trip to the parts store for hose clamps added some additional time to the job.
Well it took me 8 hours! But I had to buy the bottom radiator hose because the reservoir hose was brittle 😔
But I did it!!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Real one homie ! side note they have this part at O Riley's for 40$
They do not have this part at any chain parts store. What they have is aftermarket garbage that will fail again. When this much work goes into replacing a part, install something quality.
Great video-thanks. will work on mine tomorrow. gave me the code P0128 .it starts and runs,except it has disabled the remote start on the car.it start and it seconds it turns off again.i hear its because of safety.
I feel like removing mine and as a girl this looks interesting 🤔, sometimes you got to do things yourself to know that it was done the right way.
Around the 4:30 point you completely glazed over the most difficult part of the job. How did you get the firewall side bottom bolt ? You can't fit an extension between the bottom rad' hose.
I used my hand after I loosened it with a straight extension on only half of the bolt. You have to get creative
I had to remove the clamps on 2 houses. I plan to buy a different type of Hose.
Great video
My sensor 0128 thermostat code came on, but my thermostat and coolant system is working fine. Do I still need to replace it? The service light is disabling my 4x4 when it comes on..
Yes you need to replace it. There is no winging it. My jeep was doing the exact same thing then started overheating because the thermostat wouldn't open
Check your coolent level. Mark is on back of reservoir. To reset code disconnect battery terminal for 10 minutes. May just need coolent.
I have same jeep overheats in highway. What reason made you to replace the thermostat?
Maybe your fan is not working.or the fan sensor.
If I remove the vacuum pump, is there anything I have to do before I start the car after reassembly? Never dealt with vacuum pumps
Nope just start like normal as long as everything is back together
@@jessedrifts preciate the quick response friend
I replaced mine last weekend by removing the pcm and vacuum pump, i should have removed the battery
How do you remove the bolt in the 4:30 position?
Can't see it, can barely touch it with my fingertip. I got that far before I went looking for a video. This was no help at all
Is this the trail-hawk version ????
It's the same for both versions.
