2004 Dodge Intrepid: How to replace Thermostat?

Where is thermostat located and how to replace it.

Its not a easy procedure to replace thermostat.

If you have a faulty thermostat, your engine will either overheat or not get hot enough.


The thermostat is located on the lower left side of the engine closer to the front of the engine.
To replace thermostat you will need to put it on a hoist and probably remove the engine mount and/or alternator to get to the thermostat housing.That's the only access to replace thermostat.

See the diagram shown below for thermostat location :----



This details will help.
Thanks.

2009 Kia Spectra: OBD Code P0128?

Its Emission related issue most possible part to be checked in this case is Thermostat.

See the detailed definition defined for this problem:-----

The P0128 is fairly straight forward, and the most common problem here will be a Thermostat that is stuck "open". An open stuck thermostat means an increase of the engine warm up time and can cause emission increase as well. To detect open stuck thermostat, the ECM checks measured coolant temperature as soon as calculated coolant temperature reaches threshold and sets DTC P0128 when measured coolant temperature is lower than threshold.

See the help diagram shown below:----

Buick Century overheating?

Overheating problem on Buick's is common.Also other brand car models face such overheating problem.

If the antifreeze gets less then it can overheat.

If the water gets less,then fill water in the water tank.But if all that is already tried,then the cheapest place to start is also the most common issue. That being a bad thermostat that is sticking and preventing proper cooling. The thermostat is in the housing that holds the upper radiator hide where it bolts to the intake manifold. The thermostat is only around $20, takes about 30 minutes to change.

Try replacing thermostat and see.This will help.
