Great video. That looks like an EX with the Vtech. Side note. Most thermostats come with the bleeder hole Fe the manufacturer now which eliminates the need to worry about air trapped in the system. Another old school trick is to put a small bleeder hole in the thermostat yourself with a tiny drill bit.
You can, but when you remove the thermostat, coolant will gush out a lot and it’ll spray everywhere. That’s why we drain it by the radiator so that when we remove the thermostat, what’s left of the coolant in the block will drain out and won’t cause a mess.

I think it’s an lx with out vtec I think cause it doesn’t say it on the engine cover and the headers are different
Smart
Vtec buddy, also it’s non Vtec.
Thank you for showing this. Because of your Camry radiator flush video, I was able to apply the same method to my 03 civic.
Nice video with excellent camera work and great audio.
Great audio my butt. Dude was talking way too softly for all the noise going on in the background.
Thanks for giving info on the gasket, exactly what I came here for. Thanks again.
Great video as always. Thank you 🙏
hard to see what you are doing
Why are you draining the coolant?
Great video. Thank you
My fans aren’t working and it radiator is overheating and my a/c blows cold air after 10 mins of driving, could it be the thermostat?
no
Hi, I need help, do you know where it is located oil switch sensor ? Honda civic 1.7cdti 100hp tnx very much
...same here
Thank you.
I realize this is an old Vid, like the car we have lol.. Curious what the Torque spec on the bolts is ?
Can’t even see what u are doing, great angle
Would this cause the overflow tank to fill up?
Yes
I have a question do you have to drain the coolant?
If coolant is still clean, drain it in a clean pan. Removing the thermostat will drain out a lot of coolant since the fluid is coming from the block.
Thank God I can see your hoodie sleeve the whole video smh
On a 2002 civic the radiator fan only turns on when the the ac is on. What could cause this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated
Danny Salazar sounds like it could be a faulty relay switch. Check all of your fuses first
Try replacing your temperature switch and coolant fan switch i
My 05 has the same problem, did you happen to find the problem
Same. When i turn on my ac and heater nothing comes out. And when switched on it'll overheat later.
Thank you for the great video. Where did you get that funnel?
Any auto store or on amazon
Here’s the link amzn.to/2aCXN73
Does the pin HAVE to be on the top side? Someone please help
Yes.
how does replacing this benefit your car? like what are the reasons someone would replace their thermostat
It’s a preventive maintenance since the thermostats can go bad and causing the engine to overheat due to the thermostat malfunctioning.
Don't replace it unless its stuck closed (overheating) or stuck open (engine running cold)
Do you mind asking if i should use oe blue coolant. Or green is just fine?
Blue
Why I have to drain the radiator? Can I do it with out drain it?
You can, but when you remove the thermostat, coolant will gush out a lot and it’ll spray everywhere. That’s why we drain it by the radiator so that when we remove the thermostat, what’s left of the coolant in the block will drain out and won’t cause a mess.
How much fluid will you need to use to fill it back up please ?
Get 2 gallons
hey what coolant did you use ?
Nice V-D-O
im just holding the flashlight, i cant see.
What temperature is the OE for the thermostat?
OE temp is 170°
What do I do if I lost the bolt
Find it or buy one from the dealership
@@NutzAboutBolts never mind I found it
👌🏼🤙🏼
Does the housing have a gasket?
no, you have to buy it separately
how did you get the bottom radiator hose off
tommie daniels he didn’t
@@FiyaAnt I replaced everything and now I have leak from where the right bolt is, by any chance do you have any suggestions of what to do next?
@@oh_so_cray_z did you ever find the fix? Having the same issue
What size r the bolts
That hold it up
You don't have to drain the radiator
unless u want coolant every where sure don’t drain it
Never open the radiator always from the overflow

@@mronemanband1 even the rag won't help. LET IT COOL and verify no pressure by squeezing the hose.
Camera angles and annunciation my dude.
