Thank you! I was able to replace the thermostat myself thanks to your video. I experiences all the struggles you did. Agree with another comment that Uro might not be the best part. The amount of work it takes to do this justifies a better quality part at fcpeuro or ipdusa.
I came here to see about that bottom right bolt. Thanks for this. I stressed for you when the hose wouldn’t clip on :) sincerely thanks for this. I thought this project had me beat.
I had to remove and replace the alternator on a customers car. Which involves removing the plenum. Since I had it off and was also replacing a bad radiator, I changed the thermostat, your video was very helpful!
Great video... really appreciate you taking the time to film this process. Local shop wanted $180 for the part and $250 labor + coolant charges for a total of $440 to fix this. You can buy this URO part for $40 on Amazon.. I'll be doing the job myself.. Cheers!
@@jasonsshop Turns out I actually have a leak on the plastic outlet valve/hose just to the LEFT of the Thermostat housing. Do you know what that part is called?
@@creosoted77 I am not sure the name of the part. It might be one of the hoses with the plastic outlet built in. See if it's in one of these kits: www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-cooling-hose-kit-genuine-volvo-30774512kt www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-cooling-system-kit-rein-kit-c8f021bd-1449-4563-889c-270056bcf7b1 FCP Euro has all the part numbers listed there. Good luck!
Thanks for the video. I ended up draining coolant same way as I believe the drain valve can only be accessed if you remove the lower skid plate. Our thermostat was in pieces when removed (!)
It is a pain! Rewatch 16:26 - 17:58 I tried with the clip up at first, didn't work, then pushed the clip in the down position, try to twist the hose slightly while pushing it on. you will "Feel it" click when it's right. Also carefully inspect that your Clip is not bent. Maybe yours is slightly bent and can not fall into the correct grove? Good Luck!
Thanks for the video, i have a D3 diesel eninge, but the thermostat placement/job is kinda like this one. But my question, i now alot of these volvos are "self bleeding" but didnt know they worked like this, so i can also have the cap of and bleed it whitout the engine running? Nice
I've found on older vehicles like this, the less plastic parts you disturb, the less chance something cracking or breaking. I also didn't want to buy an intake gasket as well. Either way works. Thanks for watching!
@@willmill409 Problem is the $6/gasket you'll also have to replace. May be worth the extra $36 and avoid the F-words as you work to get that thermostat out.
If you’re ever in the Nashville area, I owe you a beer! Your video made the replacement so easy. Thank you!
Awesome, glad it helped!

Yikes! that's a close call. Good job on fixing it yourself! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Man!!! it was driving me crazy this leak and finally found where!!
That's Awesome! Glad the video helped someone!
You are a better man than I. I have been trying to get the hose onto the thermostat housing for two days. Can't do it!

i have the same problem. I haven't been able to make my hose to go completely in.
3:35 Whoa!
do thi in the dark, brave man!! good video!
I would tell you don't ever buy URO parts. I've had even hoses 😂 from them fail numerous times. Rein or Behr or Genuine only.

Any idea where the housing is on the volvo V8? My guess is lower left if facing the front of car
Why don’t you just remove the intake manifold is easier

Removing intake manifold would make this job take alot longer too
