Dickie3068 Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 Hi all anyone ever changed the thermostat on a V6.my 1998 is running very cold so I think its time for a new stat, my haynes manual does not cover the V6 so I need to know where the thing is and do I have to remove half the engine to change it.

Justice Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 You need to remove a few pipes and the coil pack on the side of the head so you can get to it,it is located on the right hand side of the engine just above the gearbox,my advice to you is to buy a new rubber gasket as well as the one that come with a new stat as you have to take the whole thermostat housing off becouse the the themostat is on the underside of the unit and cannot be taken off by itself as you can't get at the bolts,there is also a rubber seal on the pipe that runs along the front of the engine you may as well get a new seal for that as well. It is quite an easy job to do but can be a bit fiddly. Quote
