About to flush coolant on my 2002 Sienna, about 150K miles on it. Had timing belt etc done at just over 105K, so this may be overkill, but looking for a 'project' before winter! Figure, with coolant drained, might as well swap out thermostat; this is factory original. This is easily the most complete of several good videos on how to do this. Thanks for the patience and attention to detail. Before this vid, I thought to blow off the thermostat swap; now I will do it right! In another 10 years, the next owner will be glad I did.
It is worth doing. You want to be pro-active on your maintenance. I am glad you found it useful. You can check out my vids on complete drainage and refill. If you don't do a complete drain there will be quite a bit of old coolant left in the engine.
You're welcome. Sometimes it is a single bolt, nut or other feature that can hold us up and it takes longer than initially thought. Good job for sticking to it!
Thanks for this video. Very well explained. Just 1 question. The coolant sensor down there next to the thermostat is the same part number than the upper one near where the spark plug cable running?
The basic procedure will be the same. I am not sure if your nuts will be located at the same location. Best to inspect and locate them before you start. :)
I was going to do the thermostat as a preventative while I had the coolant out doing the timing belt/water pump, but forget that I have enough to do. What a terrible design.

Great video. Clear, concise, to the point and a great move with the extension!
Thanks for the encouragement Richard!
It took me 3-4 hours to just get this thing out and I’m so glad I had your video

Sorry, I haven't looked at the coolant sensors. ):
I love your video i learn how to replace the thermostat
I'm glad it helped. Safe travels! :)
Nice detailed video. Is the procedure the same on a 2002 sienna?

Another very informative video ......yep I'll be doing this early spring.
A bit of preventative maintenance is always good. Your Sienna will appreciate it!
What year/model was this Sienna? Cool video by the way
This is a 2000. I am still driving it, BTW!
@@Pen_Pusher cool, I have a 2013 in the process now of changing the thermostat
@@istafafoster4820 Good luck! :)
Do I need to drain the coolant before doing this thermostat replacement?
2004 Toyota Sienna
Thank you!
Yes, you do. Check out a video on my channel. It is pretty easy to do. :)
How do you get the housing out ????
Pull it off. See 12:16 😊
always pray is just the outer plastic housing and not the lower
Very informative video. Thank you.
Thanks Joe. Hope it was helpful!

Yes. Timing belt and water pump is a big job. Not easy to add more to it!
