1.6 Ecotec Thermostat Replacement - Aveo, G3, Swift 

Thanks for the video. Really helpful. I changed the thermostat (just the thermostat, and not the housing) on my Vauxhall Astra estate 1.6, 2013, and fixed the problem. The cooling fan had been running permanently and I had an error message on my dash saying 'service vehicle soon'. Now all fixed and didn't need to reset the error code either. Thermostat part cost me about £45 online. One garage quoted me around £250 to fix it. What a con! The work only took me about 45 minutes, start to finish.

My coworker has a 2011 Chevy Aveo, overheated, got a flush, and its still happening. Helped him get a new lower hose (recommended), and thermostat. Thanks for the video! I'll be doing the work for him, so this helps a ton, looks pretty straight forward.

Thanks man for posting this vid. I’m in this same problem right now.

Thanks for the video homie!

We just pulled one of these today and you can also use a 12-point 5/16 inch socket to get those four screws on that housing off. It fit perfect

Muchas gracias por su video

You made this Look So Easy except for dropping your screwdriver twice. Good video I'm going to be doing the same thing this Saturday. What is with those oil droplets in the reservoir before you added fresh coolant? I got those in my 2009 Chevy Aveo. I thought somebody put brake fluid or oil in the radiator Reservoir. That thermostat look like it with brand new did you test it? What happens if the thermostat is stuck closed. Mine doesn't overheat but all the water disappears and when I add water it just goes in the reservoir and nowhere else. Until I run the engine. The top radiator hose on the right side near the coolant reservoir doesn't suck in any water.

Best video for thermostat replacement .can u please tell me a bit more about the air bleader ?

and after you put this new thermostat, what is coolant temperature now? is it open at 90c or opens around 105c?

Where can u get the gasket for the bottom part of housing ?

Hey I’m repairing a vehicle right now.. the part that the thermostat housing connects to is cracked. What is it called so I can replace it?

So I was told that I may have to bleed or get the air out of the lines....how do I do that, I'm trying to change the thermostat and recharge the A/C

That black piece the thermostat is connected too where you screw what is that called ?

Thanks for the great video. One question: I left the coolant tank cap off and ran the engine, just like in your video, but the coolant started to boil over after a few minutes. Why did it do that? Thanks!

I'm fixing to put a thermostat in my 2010 Chevy Aveo the thermostat gauge keeps hitting bottom but I have heat

Why would the code read thermostat stuck open and the heat rolls out

Did you torque the thermostat down

With oil in the radiator reservoir the is an oil seal leak .it is most likely at the oil cooler housing needs a gasket.the reason I know this is my car is a 2009 aveo 5 hatchback.and mine is doing the same thing..if you get your oil changed at Valvoline make sure they do not overfill with oil because if they do this

What's the other half called behind the thermastat housing? I replaced the front but the bac has a leak now?

You mix the Green in there it's supposed to have orange coolant

5/16" SAE 1/4" drive ,Chinese socket will work also. (Harbor Freight.)

What is the part called that you put the thermostat into? Mine broke when we were tightening the thermostat back in. I have the 2009 Chevy Aveo.

Welcome Can you tell me when the place of tbs and ic for this machin.

why it has 2 wires ?

how much coolant does the engine hold,cheers

I changed 4 already but it keeps breaking down

Hi, i have a 2011 Chevy aveo and I have to replace the thermostat AND the housing for it. Would I take out the thermostat first like in this video and then just take off everything connected to the housing as well?

What kind of socket did you have to use for the bolts

Stubby screw driver ? Uh how many times did ya drop it ? Oil in the coolant tank was waiting on followup that head gasket was the problem ?

a mechanic told me I needed to change the housing to do this job. do I?

How much the temperature of the thrmostut of aveo

I have a 09 ac doesn’t work and the code reads thermostat open and has a miss now number cylinder The mechanic told me is because of thermostat that’sWhy witnesses what do you think

Dude that water is nasty af.
