Removing and Installing Thermostat

Drain the coolant as described in Draining and Filling Coolant. Remove the two thermostat housing bolts and separate the housing from the coolant pump. See Fig. 4-1.

To install the thermostat, position the thermostat in the coolant pump housing with a new O-ring and install the thermostat housing. Torque the bolts to 10 Nm (87 in. lb.). Reinstall any disconnected hoses. Fill the cooling system as described in Draining and Filling Coolant. Warm the engine and check for leaks. Check again after the engine has cooled.
