Fantastic job walking us through the job step-by-step. This is the first time I have tried to work on my car, and you made it very easy. Thank you sir.
Jello Jeffery! Thank you for sharing with us that our video was helpful and made your task easy. We know that by sharing videos with step-by-step are very helpful on fixing or replacing a car component and that is why we try to make them for others. Take well care Jeffery!
You are a great Teacher sir. Excellent camera work also ! Man that job looks like a pain in the ass !! I’ve done them in American cars plenty. I’ll take my Nissan to a Mechanic. Thanks Brother. Great job !
Hello Christian! First of all, thank you for taking your time to watch our video and we really appreciate your complement. We keep working hard to bring to you and our other viewers good info. Take well care Christian!
My service light came in today and ran the OBD. My thermostat just went and will be viewing this video again real soon so I can fix it. Thank you for recording and explaining everything
Hello Vidicated! Thank you for taking your time to watch our video and hope that this info can be of good help on your thermostat replacement. Take well care Vidicated!
May I know what code/clues you can see on OBD? My engine overheat with temp gauge at 75% breifely but no code on OBD. OBD read coolant max temp at 114·C but coolant temp returns normal at idle. No coolant lost so far.
Thanks for sharing the video mate. I've got an '02 Sentra SE-R Spec V with the same 2.5L motor as the Altima. Most repair videos regarding Sentra's are only for the 1.8L, so I often have to resort to Altima video's to get help. Now if only the cold weather would go away so I can change my thermostats, I hate working on cars in the cold, lol.
Hello Bill! Thank you so much for taking your time to share your comment that this video was helpful and for also letting us know that you liked the way we delivered the info. Take well care Bill!
@El Chano Jose Amazing video! It's one of the most detailed and professional videos I've seen in a while! Thank you so much. I have one question... while you are waiting for the vehicle to get to operating temp during the "burping process" should/can I turn on the heat or AC in the vehicle?
Put the HEAT on all the way to high and fan on the lowest setting. This makes sure all the coolant is flowing to your heater. Rev the engine to 2.5 and let it run for like 30 seconds. Do that a couple times. I even raised my car on front ramps during this process as air escapes to the highest point and that makes the radiator cap higher point. It helps get air pockets out easier. I used the no spill funnel kit and it makes it easier.
Hello Laurie! Thank you for taking your time to watch our video and for taking your time to share your comment that this video was helpful. Take well care Laurie!
@@elchanojose hello and you’re welcome, you deserve it for sure! Need to change it on my mom’s car and you make it look so easy, like I can do it in my sleep 😂.
Hello Vilma! By replacing only one thermostat, you are doing half of the replacement and that’s ok, but remember that if the small thermostat fails you can be in overheating problem. We are not saying that is going to happen for sure but it will help prevent an overheating by replacing both thermostat. Is like replacing brake pads, always replacing both pads per rotor and not just one. Over all, you could be ok but you have 50% of chance of a overheating problem sooner. Take well care Vilma!
Hello Greatest! I would do that, remove both thermostats. If the instructions on how to use this head gasket sealer specified to remove the thermostat, then I would removed them. If the thermostat is not removed, then this might affect the performance of this head gasket sealer to do it’s job. Always follow the product instructions on how to make it do it’s jobs so you don’t end up with a bad outcome. This products not always seal like the product claims to do but you need to follow the instructions. Take well care Greatest!
After researching online, seeing conflicting videos, tutorials, and even diagrams that come with aftermarket replacement parts, I got ahold of a seasoned Nissan dealership mechanic who confirmed for me that BOTH thermostats in the 02-12 4cyl (qr25de) altima go COIL SPRING INWARDS (ie toward the block). This is a pretty critical determination I'd say, so please correct the content of this UA-cam video if and when you can!
I have watched four videos that show replacement of thermostats for 2001-2005 Altimas and every video I have seen show the thermostats in this video are positioned correctly.
@@billymatthews10 Well, I finally tracked down the official FSM for my '05 Altima, and sure enough, it has a detailed diagram showing, once again, both thermostats facing COIL TO BLOCK. So yeah, I'll be going with the official documentation on this matter, as should everybody else. This video should be revised or removed for propagating such dangerous misinformation.
@@zoinbergs I just replaced both of my thermostats on my 2005 Altima it's time to swallow my pride and say that you were right. Both thermostats springs were positioned with the spring inside the engine (pointy tip out). The thermostat at 10:44 is backwards from how mine was. You were right sir!
Ok I have a question I have the 2002 3.5 V6 and I'm seeing alot of stuff about it having 2 thermostats mines leaking around the top radiator hose on the bell hosing engine side hose is building too much pressure . I guess my question does the V6 have 2 thermostats
Hello Josh! The 3.6 is only equipped with one thermostat. If you buy the thermostat, it will probably come with the aluminum housing so you replace the housing and thermostat. I recommend you comparing prices from the dealer to the regular auto parts store so you can see if they cost the same or not. On this components, we recommend to use Nissan parts so you have more peace of mind with the part working more properly. Take well care Josh!
So I did everything that was shown in the video and got it done i just had trouble getting to certain bolts that are under the top thermostat why is the first one so easy and the back one just annoying? 😭 my hoses took like 15 min to get off.
Hello! That hole is recommended to be at 12 o clock to help air move faster out of the engine, but if is not installed at 12 o clock is not going to cause damage or overheating. Is just recommended. Take well care!
Hello Brown! Just remember to check that you have remove the bolt on the bottom of the pipe. There is one 12mm at the front and one at the thermostat housing. Take your time when doing this so nothing can go wrong. Take well care Brown!
Someone please explain why they used 2 studs and 2 bolts to hold this on instead of 4 bolts?? Those 2 studs add more steps to this whole process and in my case a stuck bolt on that metal tube at the front of the block. 🤬🤬
Who knew there were two thermostats on a Nissan Altima 2.5 liter? Great explanation on how to repair it! Thank you 😊
Hello Cesar! Thank you for watching our video and we were surprised as well about two thermostats on this car. Take well care Cesar!

Which funnel did you use to burb the air out of the system? I had trouble finding on because of the cap size wouldn't fit.
What could happens if I only could replace the big thermostat but I could no open the area for the little one.?

@@billymatthews10 how did you figure out hes right?
@@codemajic8238 Diagrams from Nissan and my upper thermostat had never been replaced so it was in the original correct position.
Are those two thermostats the same and interchangeable or are they only made to go in those place and thx
I got the front thermostat in but one of the 12mm nuts on the side thermostat housing is stripped and I can't get it off. Any suggestions?
Any advice I took the screws off and everything it’s just hard to get it off it’s like stuck on there10:56

Does the thermostat small. Hole have to be at 12 o clock if not what happens

Do you disconnect the battery before this? Or no need?
Always disconnect the battery. You will be disconnecting electric connectors.
