This same job on a 2004 CRV (along with water pump and power steering pump replacements) has taken me two straight nights. There is no room to work, and the entire front of the car has to come off. The metal pipe into the housing is the same setup, and I've been stumped for a while trying to remove it. Thanks for the view I needed!
Wow great video. I just changed the radiator hoses and thermostat on my wife’s 99 Accord EXL with 60000 miles just for the heck of it. They were original hoses but I changed just because of age. The thermostat housing is metal though. Never saw plastic before. The hoses were original but in excellent condition. Anyway great video. Artie 👍👍👍
hey, nice video. Could you possibly tell me the part # or give me a link for one of the O Rings that I'm going to need for the Metal Pipe at 2:40 in your video? 👍
Honda dealership just tried to charge me 867.00 to change thermostat casing their tech broke while changing my starter 2 weeks ago....thanks for your video cause i knew he done it when he replaced starter...
I have a 2005 Honda Accord squirting water from behind intake manifold but after watching Video I seen that housing has a secondary hose that runs by inner intake manifold I believe we’re my leak is at great video only one I found with my issue. Bad news for me I have to remove intake manifold.there a pain
It seems like an oldie but it’s a goodie. My 08 si is leaking coolant from the thermostat housing. I might be able to get away with just replacing the gaskets but I’m thinking of just replacing the whole thing. Any suggestions?
I had to replace my vtec solenoid and had to pull the housing from the side. Now i have the problem of trying to get the housing onto the pipe because the o ring on the neck won't stay in place. Also my thermostat housing only has 2 12mm bolts not 3. Any suggestions?
I don't understand why so many car manufacturers decided to put the whole thermostat assembly so close to the fan belt and alternator. Any leak that springs out of that assembly will drench the fan belt and get into the alternator, causing more havoc that will need to be repaired. Grrrr!
I’m on my second time repairing this housing on base RSX - what would be the reason for this ? Like the cause of death to the housing would be what? It’ll last a month I’m thinking before it cracks again smh
I did this job took me 2 hours removed intake and starting motor put wd40 on that oil ring metal pipe went in back very easy did everything from the top those two 10 millimeters screws on the back of the housing are very hard but take your time
Damn that's a crappy spot for honda to put a thermostat. You gotta pull back the intake manifold. cant remember what it is. But did you pull that back for easier access
The housing is in a tough spot. But if you were to replace the thermostat only, it isn't too bad. Just remove the lower radiator hose clip and it's right there.
@Victor Y. I must be lucky, ive been wrenching as honda for a little over 20 years, they have worked great for me. They are getting harder to compress as hondas have gotten more cramped under the hood though. I find myself wanting to change them out with the screw type.

Thanks for making this. Exactly the part I needed to replace.
Glad to help!

I have the same question. What did you end up doing?
@@jamessmriga6999 I replaced the housing it was a tricky area but not so so hard
What size is are the scond set of bolts?
any tips on taking of the housing with out breaking it? LOL its so hard to come offffff, im close to just calling a mechanic and having them do it lol
The head on my top bolt is stripped any tips to remove?
I did it thank you 👍

Thank you. Glad to help.

That's a very good point. Hopefully it doesn't leak! **fingers crossed**
Hey but my Titan has it at the lowest point possible so if I ever have to cross deep water my alternator is now water-cooled.
Nothing will happen if coolant leaks onto an alternator.
Is that manifold easy to take off and put back on?
It's not too bad - ruclips.net/video/ZyRpY1yosEs/видео.html

Buying aftermarket housings?
What kind of gasket do i buy to put on the housing? Thanks
Found out the hard way that the thermostat for 50 buxs is fine its this piece behind it leakn

Ese tubo siempre entra flojo ?
Do you need to bleed the system after changing thermostat?
Yes the system must be bled in order to replace the thermostat
Hell yea bless u
I did this job took me 2 hours removed intake and starting motor put wd40 on that oil ring metal pipe went in back very easy did everything from the top those two 10 millimeters screws on the back of the housing are very hard but take your time

This site helps. Just choose your specific model and you'll find any part and the corresponding part number - www.hondafactoryparts.com/
What is the name of the metal hose sitting in the thermostat housing
Connecting pipe :-)

I have a 2010 and I need the metal tube as well. FML
There is no way to get one of the bolt off
I just got one at Amazon for $10
Stupid pipe keeps leaking...
En español por favor

It'll be aight. Those clamps have one job.
