hey, guys. Friday I purchased a new thermostat housing off your site. I'm stuck at the 8:48 part in the video because I'm not exactly sure where to jack up at. Is that the bottom of the oil pan? The motor mount housing wont seem to wiggle out no matter how hard or which way i try to take it off. Is this because I have to place that jack underneath to lift up the engine a bit? I can't see exactly where in the video. Is that the bottom of the oil pan where she's positioned the piece of wood at to support the engine?
Thank you for the video. I had a problem with a thermostat bolt breaking off in the lower thermostat housing and had to get it off. This video was a big help and was able to get the job done. Great video.

Excellent video I do have a question though, if some of us folks do not have the vacuum gauge to pull air out of the system, can we burp the system in the same fashion and achieve the same results? Thank you

@@stutterz45 in this case not so much of the right tools. here she was havi g clearance issues. happens all the ti.e. if you have small arms and handa like me. maybe you will get away with it. i did many jobs in the COLD WHEATHER where i had the right tools but the location of whatever was replacing was tucked like really tucked. exp helps
Thank you for the excellent tutorial on the thermostat and also for the one regarding changing the starter which helped me immensely on my 2007 CR-V. Now I have a severely corroded heater pipe which runs from the thermostat housing, passes above the starter, below the intake manifold and then under the air filter housing to the heater hose. Can you please briefly list procedure for its removal and replacement? I have the old pipe completely disconnected and loose, have removed engine and radiator upper plastic protectors, battery, throttle body hoses, air filter housing and have disconnected most of the surrounding wiring. Just cannot seem to snake the pipe past the starter to get it out. Is there a trick?? Do I need to also remove the intake manifold, starter, or other parts?
Nice video for accessing thermostat housing, but she never touched the water passage Title is misleading.... there is a O ring between the water passage and the block that can leak.
which O ring? should i replace it when I am doing a thermostat. I have an CEL on my 04 accord with P2185-Engine coolant temprature sensor 2 circuit high
@@Gevans5472 was confusing to me at first too. what the title is calling the water passage housing is the housing that bolts on to the water passage and accepts the thermostat inside of it. I guess to clear things up I should point out that it is the first piece she put on the passage after sanding! hope this helps someone!
@@Gevans5472 That o ring that leaks.. I think mine is leaking. Does it leak oil? I've got two that are leaking. I want to fix it myself. I'm not sure how to get to it? Dealer wanted to change this o ring part number 194125A2A00 appreciate any help. Thank you.
hey, 1A Auto. I purchased a new thermostat housing for my 04 accord through your site. 2 things i have quick questions about: 1. does the new thermostat housing come with the needed O ring for the bypass coolant pipe? 2. I am in the garage and following the exact steps in this video. I am stuck at the part where I'm trying to wiggle off the Motor Mount Housing. I'm not sure if I'm jacking up the right spot from the bottom. Can someone give me some clarification on exactly where to place the jack and piece of wood? Is that the reason why the mount housing wont slide out, bwcause I'm not supporting the engine properly?
you don't have to use silicone if you a seal or gasket with the thermostat. You only use silicone when you don't have a seal or gasket. But always check first to see if one is available at your local auto part store. Note sometime thermostat parts will come with a seal or gasket in their package.
guys, it's been 2 days now since i commented for some assistance. I can't wiggle off the Motor Mount housing. Is it because I need to jack the engine and trans up higher? I'm just scared to attempt that because I don't wanna break the trans housing and bend the oil pan.. anyone have thoughts on my issue?
My torque wrench only has ft-lbs and the lowest setting is 30ft-lbs Using a torque conversion tool online, in-lbs to ft-lbs, 104 in-lbs comes to about 8.7 ft-lbs. i need a new torque wrench
1A Auto: Repair Tips & Secrets Only Mechanics Know i figured it out. I unscrewed all the bolts and was wondering why it still wouldn’t come off.... you have to pry it off lol
My car's temperature goes up to the "H" when I'm driving sort of slow or even at idle. When I accelerate and go fast the temperature drops to about half on the gauge. Anyone know what this might be? Or why? I'm thinking the thermostat.
That's an Intake manifold. Remove it and you can see everything. I didn't use swivels either. A deep well 12mm 3/8 drive for the top bolt, a 1/4 deep well 12mm for the hard one in the back, and a 12mm ratchet wrench for the bottom one. No motor mount or fan removal required either.

it is easier to remove the intake manifold. ...
Your right I seen other video cars and toys but my problem is by pass hose went bad
Yes. More work tho
She is amazing as a mechanic doing some work many don't or will not do.

Good video, but skipping the most frustrating part (putting the bolts back into the water passage house)doesn't help...
Excellent video I do have a question though, if some of us folks do not have the vacuum gauge to pull air out of the system, can we burp the system in the same fashion and achieve the same results? Thank you
Great job, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about auto repair and this video certainly helped.....Thank you !

The best thing to do is get the right tools 🤙 makes the job super easy

Thx for sharing. Another great vid from Sue.
One thing I suggest is to put a piece of cardboard, at a minimum, behind the radiator, to protect it, or you will have another replacement to perform.
On the 2006 Honda Accord. What is the part that the thermostat housing screws onto?

Saeed Ahmed no. Not associated with the thermostat. It’s between the water pump housing and the engine block

I have this problem at the o ring its leaking like crazy after changing the o ring to a thicker one and prying it over any suggestions just broke down

Take exhaust manifold off it's a lot easier
im having issues with the o ring moving and wont stay in that groove everytime I try to put the housing back over it
Is all this necessary if I am just replacing the thermostat?
No
Where can i buy the o ring? Or can i reuse the same one?
I'm looking for a passage water housing for my Honda Civic 2005 DX 1.7 liter in Phoenix, Az , where can I found it ?
will it be easier to remove the starter?
Part # for water passage housing? I checked on your website & i cant find it... 03 honda accord dx
What size o ring did you replace it with? For the water neck coolant passage tube?
O ring size for the coolant connecting pipe underneath intake manifold

So I was trying to change the front mount and broke the lower radiator hose. I think the inlet broke. Can I just replace the inlet and hose?
Yes
I just saw another video and they didn’t remove any of that, seemed more simpler than this process! Idk

Just be a snake and go around everything's to get to the bolts. She took off things unnecessarily
My car's temperature goes up to the "H" when I'm driving sort of slow or even at idle. When I accelerate and go fast the temperature drops to about half on the gauge. Anyone know what this might be? Or why? I'm thinking the thermostat.
Your fan in not turning on. Either relay, the fan motor itself or the wiring. Possibly a bad temp sensor. Hope that helps
Way too many steps,i do it much simpler
What a bad way to do that job take the front exhaust manifold off it's a easy job then dont do it this way .amateur
That's an Intake manifold. Remove it and you can see everything. I didn't use swivels either. A deep well 12mm 3/8 drive for the top bolt, a 1/4 deep well 12mm for the hard one in the back, and a 12mm ratchet wrench for the bottom one. No motor mount or fan removal required either.
@@josephflores5713 not that easy to take off the manifold screws are a pain on these engines, the whole cooling system is not fun here
