DIY Thermostat replacement - shown on a 1.3 Multijet diesel engine (FIAT Opel Suzuki Vauxhall etc)

- The thermostat is a DIY job - most are a lot easier than on a small front wheel drive supermini vehicle only because of access.
We are showing you of a FIAT diesel, but the principal is the same for the Opel / Vauxhall Corsa & Astra - some Suzuki's, Renaults and Citroen / Peugeots.
Space is tight on a 1.3 multijet - not a tough job, but small hands will make the thermostat replacement a lot easier 😂
Couple of points to note if buying your new thermostat on line - the connections look very similar on many variants of this thermostat (this engine is in a lot of cars & vans) so take care checking !!
Autodoc shows this item with the correct fittings & confirms its the right one on their website, but they send any old 1.3 thermostat, stating the photo is a guide only 🤯 so confirm with them verbally or on email, will save you weeks !!
We won't share a link for the item, as the connections vary so much, you need to be sure yourself.

Interesting video, I enjoyed that. I had exactly the same problem on my very old C Class about a year ago, and it was also the thermostat. A bit easier to get to than the Panda though.
3rd time lucky for us Mark - 1st one was faulty (you only know when it goes bang on the test run :( second, Autodoc shipped the wrong one - 3rd is working great ! bugger to get to as you say
Just what I needed a step by step guide, thanks a lot mate
You're very welcome!
I really need that thermostat during winter... Old mechanic deleted it. 😂
Its just a weird thing to do !
Great video!
Can wait to see the two Pandas off roading...
Thank you! We can’t wait to get them off-road either. Stay tuned!
Hi Nath
Great video as always .
Information packed & helpful.
The CRUNCHING going in to reverse gear is a FAULT/ KNOWN PROBLEM on a lot of Fiat's of varying models. But I never adjusted either clutch on them. My 09 Punto Mrs L200 has as a run about as I won't let her near the L200 or Fiesta does the same thing.
Both my Fiat Punto's have had the same thing.
I'm impressed Reg has a cat flap in the mancave door.
I've often wondered what happened to poor Reg when you weren't living it large at the mancave & ya self & Dad weren't spannering there. But now know he can get in/out.
Talking of "FORESKIN JUMPER" I'm guessing this was filmed during his gammy knee latest painful bout? As he's not heard even slurping his T in the background..... plus when u LUBED the nipple at the back of the airbox HE'D AV BEEN ALL OVER THAT PINKY FINGERING it for ages.
Av a great weekend.
Looking forward to when yourself & Dad take Paddy & Pete up in to those them hills in Portugal 🇵🇹
Stay lucky. Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Hi Alan!
Dad loves a bit of pinky fingering especially in the smaller crevasses! 🤪
The crunching is very irritating especially as the car if fine through all the other gears. Sure I’ll get to the bottom of it. ;)
Been very peaceful up that the Mancave as dads not been here! Reg and I have been busy fiddling on the jobs we want to do 👍
Hope you’re well.

@@DrivenMadShow Ello Nath.
All good this end.....
I've just stopped 😢😢😢😢😢 after aving a sprinkling of snow over the L200 ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ yesterday, that lasted all of 5 minutes.... Done my OCD no good at all 😀😀😀😀
Glad you got the thermostat on Paddy done after the messing around on wrong parts by Autodoc.
Keep the videos coming Nath. Absolutely fantastic.
Stay lucky. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Alan L200
Thank for the instructions, you are a devil though putting thread locker on all of those bolts.

Nath...
First things first...
IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST.
I see that MITSUBISHI stencil on the cubby hole door of the mancave, with spray paint already on it, what av you been up to??????
Mind is BOGGLED 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Shall continue watching video & comment again later.
Stay lucky. Stay safe. Stay healthy.

I placed a new thermostat and the car maintained a 72-77 degree temperature and never got to 90 degree celcius. the thermostat is opening too soon .. bad thermostat ?
Probably or bad radiator cap - might be dirty and leaving an open system (OEM cap and clean fluid is our best suggestion ) clean fluid is vital.
My astra is taking a while to heat up fault code coolant temperature low spanner light comes on but apart from that no adverse effects
My Qubo took miles to heat up
@@DrivenMadShow not sure its worth getting done it still gets 50 miles to the gallon
and it gets to around 70 degrees in 20 mins or so
apart from light coming on the dash i wouldnt be aware. in cold weather the blower would only be luke warm though
@@si4632 we do a 35km drive from home to the mancave, going, its all up hill, home all downhill - so we notice the thermostat, going the temp is fine, but coasting downhill (as its very steep) home the temp drops back to cold - its an OCD thing with me, I just stare at it 🙈
Beim entlüften muß die Heizung auf HI oder maximum stehen. Es kann auch sein, daß an den Schläuchen, die in den Innenraum zur Heizung führen noch ein Ventil zum entlüften ist.
Thanks for the tip Max 👍
10th...no
