The plastic top of the radiator burst, causing the thermostat to fail and engine coolant temperature sensor to fail. ..So we replace them! Thank you so much for watching, and we hope you might find something here helpful.
I have an 09 Kia Spectra Ex and changed the thermostat. Worked perfectly for 5 days and then all the coolant came out of the car at the thermostat. It was flush when I put it in. Can you tell me how to make sure the thermostat sits perfectly in?
Sounds like you didn’t replace the O ring around the thermostat, so over time you drove it and the old O ring rubber turned to a harder brittler rubber and let out coolant. Every time you replace the thermostat you also need a new O ring especially older cars 12+ years
