1.6 Ecotec Thermostat Replacement - Aveo, G3, Swift

- Using a 2009 Chevy Aveo I show you how to change the thermostat in response to a P0128. This 1.6 engine is found in many vehicles such as the 2002-2011 Suzuki Swift, Pontiac G3 etc so this how-to guide should be applicable to those vehicles as well.
Thanks for the video. Really helpful. I changed the thermostat (just the thermostat, and not the housing) on my Vauxhall Astra estate 1.6, 2013, and fixed the problem. The cooling fan had been running permanently and I had an error message on my dash saying 'service vehicle soon'. Now all fixed and didn't need to reset the error code either.
Thermostat part cost me about £45 online. One garage quoted me around £250 to fix it. What a con! The work only took me about 45 minutes, start to finish.
Not always is the thermostat tbf:
when fan kicks in non stop or doesn’t turn on while the coolant boils up one of the four errors could be the culprit
1- engine coolant temperature sensor
2- expansion tank sensor
3- radiator sensor
4- the thermostat
- Bleeding procedure turn on the cabin ventilator at full heat and high speed leave the coolant expansion tap on.
Hopefully this will help alot of ppl from being ripped of in future
My coworker has a 2011 Chevy Aveo, overheated, got a flush, and its still happening. Helped him get a new lower hose (recommended), and thermostat. Thanks for the video! I'll be doing the work for him, so this helps a ton, looks pretty straight forward.
how did it go?
@@mattmgarza engine coolant temperature sensor it’s usually the cause after 70-80k it needs replacing
We just pulled one of these today and you can also use a 12-point 5/16 inch socket to get those four screws on that housing off. It fit perfect
Thanks man for posting this vid. I’m in this same problem right now.
I replaced the thermostat but one of my hoses in the back of the thermostat is getting hot and it looks like it's it needs to be fixed
You mix the Green in there it's supposed to have orange coolant
You made this Look So Easy except for dropping your screwdriver twice. Good video I'm going to be doing the same thing this Saturday. What is with those oil droplets in the reservoir before you added fresh coolant? I got those in my 2009 Chevy Aveo. I thought somebody put brake fluid or oil in the radiator Reservoir. That thermostat look like it with brand new did you test it? What happens if the thermostat is stuck closed. Mine doesn't overheat but all the water disappears and when I add water it just goes in the reservoir and nowhere else. Until I run the engine. The top radiator hose on the right side near the coolant reservoir doesn't suck in any water.
With oil in the radiator reservoir the is an oil seal leak .it is most likely at the oil cooler housing needs a gasket.the reason I know this is my car is a 2009 aveo 5 hatchback.and mine is doing the same thing..if you get your oil changed at Valvoline make sure they do not overfill with oil because if they do this
Best video for thermostat replacement .can u please tell me a bit more about the air bleader ?
Yea I run the engine with the coolant cap off and make sure the level does not drop too far.
I'm fixing to put a thermostat in my 2010 Chevy Aveo the thermostat gauge keeps hitting bottom but I have heat
5/16" SAE 1/4" drive ,Chinese socket will work also. (Harbor Freight.)
Thanks for the video homie!
I changed 4 already but it keeps breaking down
So I was told that I may have to bleed or get the air out of the lines....how do I do that, I'm trying to change the thermostat and recharge the A/C
That black piece the thermostat is connected too where you screw what is that called ?
What is the part called that you put the thermostat into? Mine broke when we were tightening the thermostat back in. I have the 2009 Chevy Aveo.
Thermostat housing
Don't do what he did 😂 make sure you use Dexcool orange antifreeze.
What's the other half called behind the thermastat housing? I replaced the front but the bac has a leak now?
You said yourself = Thermostat housing
Hey I’m repairing a vehicle right now.. the part that the thermostat housing connects to is cracked. What is it called so I can replace it?
Why would the code read thermostat stuck open and the heat rolls out
Thanks for the great video. One question: I left the coolant tank cap off and ran the engine, just like in your video, but the coolant started to boil over after a few minutes. Why did it do that? Thanks!
One of the coolant sensors needs replacing
and after you put this new thermostat, what is coolant temperature now? is it open at 90c or opens around 105c?
Where can u get the gasket for the bottom part of housing ?
Muchas gracias por su video
Stubby screw driver ? Uh how many times did ya drop it ? Oil in the coolant tank was waiting on followup that head gasket was the problem ?
Oil in the coolant tank is usually the oil cooler I changed mine for £35 but be careful as I had to change the radiator aswell as the oil blocked it up.
Did you torque the thermostat down
Dude that water is nasty af.
why it has 2 wires
?
What kind of socket did you have to use for the bolts
E10mm socket E = external
Hi, i have a 2011 Chevy aveo and I have to replace the thermostat AND the housing for it. Would I take out the thermostat first like in this video and then just take off everything connected to the housing as well?
Yea
a mechanic told me I needed to change the housing to do this job. do I?
The thermostat is the housing
In this particular car the thermostat is built into the housing hence it’s so expensive compared to just a thermostat.
how much coolant does the engine hold,cheers
Welcome
Can you tell me when the place of tbs and ic for this machin.
You never mix green antifreeze with dexcool orange antifreeze.. smh.... 😳😱
I was going to say the same. I have a 2011 Aveo Lt and it takes orange DexCool, same coolant as my 2008 Megacab Dodge Ram. 😂
Yeah i mixed coolants on my 5.3 Silverado. Ended up putting a new water pump in. They maybe should have more explicit warnings on the coolant bottles and/or the coolant reservoirs.
If universal...- they will be fine in all coolants to my understanding ! Please let me know if this is off kilter...
I have a 09 ac doesn’t work and the code reads thermostat open and has a miss now number cylinder The mechanic told me is because of thermostat that’sWhy witnesses what do you think
The AC will not work if the CEL is on. A stuck-on thermostat will not cause a misfire. Is there a coolant leak or has the engine overheated?
I would try address the misfire first
No over heat
What is cel on
No coolant leak
How much the temperature of the thrmostut of aveo
221 Degrees Fahrenheit, 105 degrees Celsius
I think 105 so much hot its a76 c
Why did you ask if you already know
Buddy could you please never put green coolant in an aveo oh man
God forbid the coolant outlast the car!
Not necessarily so as long as same as before. The car looks old could have had deco flushed and just oat or hoat replacement fluid, If so can universal
I mixed once in an s10 and it said universal but the truck blew up 3 days later maybe it was just a lemon because I didn’t own it long but the shop who sold it to me said that’s what happened although I doubt that because why was it low in the first place
