I have a mercedes 420sel 1988 where is the thermostat located on the bottom or the top big radiator hose?

I want to change the thermostat but not sure if it is connected to the top or bottom of the large radiator hose

Neither, it's on the side of the water pump housing.

Has anyone ever changed a radiator on a 1999 jeep cherokee sport?

I am wondering if changing the radiator on my jeep cherokee sport is going to be harder than it seems. two hoses and overfill hose and some bolts holding the radiator in. I am technically inclined but have no experience with radiators, besides filling my leaking one, which has been professionally repaired twice! Thanks

you may have 2 transmission lines a couples hose and about 10 bolts
i own a repair shop,and its actually as easy as it looks on jeep,you can do this job in less than an hour on most jeeps,but yes you got lucky on this one they are easy to change ,good luck,i hope this help,s.

How do I change the thermostat on a 1998 Cadillac Catera?

I recently changed the lower radiator hose on my catera after I discovered a hole in it and it was forcing water out draining the radiator every time I drove and the car was still heating up, yet the radiator was full of the specified coolant (dexcool) and properly mixed. I asked a question about it here and an overwhelming amount of people told me that changing the thermostat would do the trick. How would I do this?
How do I change the thermostat on a 1998 Cadillac Catera?
follow the hose on the top of the radiator and at the end of it where it connects to the motor will be a clamp,loosen this clamp and pull of the hose, this will reveal nozzel that is bolted to the motor with 2 bolts, remove these 2 bolts and pull of this nozzel,this will expose the thermostat, just lift it out and you will need to scape off any gasket material from the opening on the motor and the enderside of the nozzel,install the new thermostat and new gasket with black permatex on bothsides(1/4 in.bead.)and put the nozzel back on the motor then the hose and tighten clamp, wait 30 minutes before starting car so the permatex can set up and you should be good to go.

Radiator mouth is broken, how to fix it?

This is suresh from erode, india. I own a honda city 1.5Exi. My problem is that the mouth of the radiator(Where the top hose is connected to the radiator)is broken. I suspect my mechanic had broken it when he changed the hose. But mechanic insists that it was normal at the time of changing.

Anyway i like to know if it can be fixed using any adhesive or is it required to replase thw whole radiator assembly

Kindly help

get a new one

It's best to replace the radiator--as a mechanic would probably tell you. Using an adhesive to fix the problem would not be a good option, as problems in the radiator might occure.
you need a radiator/they wear out
plastic tanks on todays rads are NOT repairable. we do not right now have a product that can stand the heat and pressure for a repair to last. if you try it. it will fail big time and may cost a towing and maybe a motor.

My 97 civic runs hot when i go over 70 mph. I have had all the hoses, pipes, radiator and thermostat changed.?

I had all the work done less than 6 months ago. It just started yesterday. I got out to see if there was any fluid any where, there was none, or any smell or smoke. Everything looked normal no swollen pipes of any kind. The gauge doesn't go all the way to the H when it moves from the center it is about halfway to the H if that makes any sense, It drops back down to normal (in the middle) when I slow down to 65 what could be causing this?

Hi, could be the air con at the front of the radiator is partially blocking the air flow to the radiator. When the fins are bent over they don't permit air to cool the radiator.Also get the hydrostatic fans checked and ensure they are operating. Hope this helps Brett

well, first off make sure you got enough coolent and the right mixture.

then replace your radiator cap, a bad cap can cause too little or too much pressure, once the engine is cool, open the radiator start the engine, wait a few minuts (or near operating temps) and see if the water is swirling and getting sucked down with throttle. if it doesnt its one of three things, a bad water pump, a bum thermostat or even a clogged radiator (say it sucked up some muck from the old coolent)



also make sure the engine isnt windnig out more than usual, or it can be a slippage problem.



good luck.
it's working fine, but the coolant many need to be checked for air in the system and or coolant mix ratio of anitfreeze to water 50/50 for example.... most places will test it for free takes less then 30 seconds
Have you checked the water pump? Make sure you have enough flow, because at 70 you are at a higher RPM and at lower RPM the flow may be good enough. Just a tought.
your problem could be oil related as well ...check that lately?



oil pans have %26quot;windage%26quot; trays that funnel the oil to the pickup increased speeds prevent adequate oil flow
Could be a head gasket. Is there water in the oil? Is the oil a funny color or greyish?
make sure the fan is working.
recheck the ingnition timing and advance if it is advancing to much could be the cause

I changed the water pump,radiator,thermostat and hoses. filled the over flow tank, but still not circulating?

well when I first got the 1999 323i it had a coolant leak in the upper thermostat hose and the lower heater hose. So I replaced everything but the heater core. But it doesn't seem to be circulating now that everything is back in. There are however no leaks, pressure is building up in the thermostat hoses is there a way to bleed the air from the system? because it certainly didn't take as much coolant compared to what came out during removal. There was neon green coolant before the removal process which is what I suspect lead to the premature failer. I have purchased blue BMW formula coolant, but didn't not put that in till I could get it flushed free of the green stuff. or does this matter?

You are right. You cannot mix the 2 coolants, and the %26quot;green%26quot; stuff probably DID cause a problem!! Look for the 2 hoses, 1/2 inch around, that go to your heater core. Remove them from their place of origin. Use a garden hose to flush through. Make sure your heater control valve is on maximum heat. I hope you got a water pump with a metal impeeler (made by HEPU) and not one with a plastic impeller. Should the impeller slip off the sahft, no circulation. Hopefully, you also cleaned the space between the radiator and the A/C condenser, where leaves and debris collect, inhibiting air flow around both. Check the smaller reservoir return hose for presence of a clog. Make sure all %26quot;green%26quot; stuff is out of the system. Also, use distilled water to mix with. Good Luck!!

sure thermostat not in backwards you remove car of radiator and crank motor to watch flow is what id say is problem it can go either way but only works one way it going spring down or rounded side up wouldnt matter what type of coolant as to being no flow and you can flush any time with a water hose and remove lower hose but id say thermosta not working or its in backwards
If you have a blockage built up, a thorough flush may clear it, but it is possible the cooling passages are air bound.



On many vehicles there is a small bypass hose between one end of the engine and the upper return hose going to the radiator. It may have a small bleed bolt/screw on top of a small tower connection. Bleed it with the engine running until you have coolant coming out...
if the thermostat is in backwards then it won,t circulate. the spring goes into the intake.it could be the radiator is stopped up or the heater core. if the thermostat is in right then start your car, leave the cap off so the bubbles can escape but after it starts to circulate you will have to add more anti-freeze and yes the greens stuff will do just fine.

How do i change a upper radiator hose on a 2000 pontiac sunfire?

i've been a gm tech for 20 yrs %26amp; this is a simple task on most vehicles-however the engine in your car (2.2liter) can be very difficult to bleed the air out of the cooling system after a hose replacement. I would suggest taking it to a good mechanic.The cost should not be that much.
How do i change a upper radiator hose on a 2000 pontiac sunfire?
get a clean pan, put it under the petcock on the raidator, and drain off about half a pan of coolent. loosen the clamp on the hose end that goes onto the radaitor. Do same with hose end that in on the thermostate houseing.

Care fully twist the hose, till the ends of the hose come free, and pull the hose off.



Replace the hose, make shure both ends have new hose clamps on before installing the new hose. Make certain both ends are all the way on
