You can drain. But I didn’t. It’s came with MT coolant

@@sanumotorswithcharlie Thank you for your reply.

Old cars no need to program. 2020 onwards most cars yes Thanks

@@sanumotorswithcharlie Mine is in Latinamerica. Not sure if this one was made in Brazil or Torino. Ive only seen a few punctual differences. So when replacing the sensor its just unscrew it and screw the new one in right? How about gaskets? I do not see anything shown in the new sensor pictures

@@sanumotorswithcharlie I appre ciate your time to answer. Lets just assume the part its the same as the one you are using on your video and that you have not darined the coolant on the engine. What happens if you unscrew the sensor only on the engine you have on this video? would the coolant start squirting through the "hole" created by the sensor Im removing?

Well, just for the record in case someone is wondering about it: I was able to successfully replace the sensor only and it did work. However, I ended up replacing the thermostat as well as it was the one with the plastic tubes. Thanks again! (I made a quick video about it in case anyone may want to watch it.)

Replacing the thermostat is a good step to take if you're experiencing issues with your car's heating system, especially if the blowers are working but you're not getting warm air inside the cabin. The thermostat regulates the flow of coolant through the engine and the heater core, which is responsible for heating the air that enters the cabin. If the thermostat is stuck open or malfunctioning, it may prevent the engine from reaching its optimal operating temperature, which can result in insufficient heat being transferred to the heater core. This could explain why you're not getting warm air despite the blowers working. However, it's worth noting that there could be other potential causes for the lack of heat in your car's cabin, such as: Low coolant level: Even if you haven't noticed any leaks, it's possible that your coolant level is low, which could affect the effectiveness of the heating system. Air pockets in the cooling system: Air trapped in the cooling system can prevent proper circulation of coolant and reduce heating efficiency. Bleeding the cooling system after refilling the coolant may help alleviate this issue. Heater core issues: The heater core could be clogged or damaged, inhibiting the transfer of heat to the cabin air. While replacing the thermostat is a good starting point, if the issue persists after replacing it, you may need to further diagnose and address other potential causes. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the diagnosis and repair process, it's always a good idea to consult with a professional mechanic to ensure the issue is properly resolved.

You can drain cool. But my scenario no cool left. Or when you remove thermostat it’s will out Thanks

There is two type of tank for this car. One is attached to radiator, if you mean that , that tank come with radiator. You can’t remove Thanks

I’m not sure how many litters it’s holding. Looks like that nipple blocked. How ever inside heating ok and not over heating means it’s good Sign. And look like to me all work as should be 😀😀😀

@@sanumotorswithcharlie thank you for answer. I think this time it took bit more time to bleed it self out hehe. 😅😁 Good video 👍💪

Thank you for the reply I am from india

I understand that working on your car can be confusing, especially if things don’t look as you expect them to. I can help guide you through the process of changing the thermostat in your Fiat 500. Here’s a step-by-step guide: 1. **Preparation:** - Ensure the engine is cool. - Gather necessary tools: socket set, screwdriver, drain pan, new thermostat, and coolant. - Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. 2. **Drain the Coolant:** - Locate the radiator drain plug underneath the car. - Place a drain pan underneath and open the plug to drain the coolant. 3. **Locate the Thermostat Housing:** - The thermostat is usually located where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine. - Follow the upper radiator hose to the point where it connects to the engine block. 4. **Remove the Thermostat Housing:** - Use a socket set to remove the bolts holding the thermostat housing in place. - Carefully lift the housing to expose the thermostat. 5. **Remove the Old Thermostat:** - Note the orientation of the old thermostat. - Remove the old thermostat and gasket. 6. **Install the New Thermostat:** - Place the new thermostat in the same orientation as the old one. - Install a new gasket to ensure a proper seal. 7. **Reassemble the Thermostat Housing:** - Reattach the thermostat housing and secure it with bolts. - Ensure all bolts are tightened properly. 8. **Refill the Coolant:** - Close the radiator drain plug. - Refill the radiator with the appropriate type of coolant. 9. **Reconnect the Battery and Test:** - Reconnect the negative battery terminal. - Start the engine and let it reach operating temperature. - Check for leaks and ensure the temperature gauge is working correctly. 10. **Dispose of Old Coolant Properly:** - Dispose of the old coolant according to local environmental regulations. If things under your hood don’t look as expected, it’s possible there might be some variation depending on the model year or specific setup of your Fiat 500. If you're still unsure, referring to the vehicle’s service manual or consulting with a professional mechanic can be very helpful.

It sounds like the electrical connector on your Fiat 500's thermostat is stuck, which can be frustrating. Here are some steps and tips to help you safely remove it: ### Steps to Remove a Stuck Electrical Connector: 1. **Ensure Safety First:** - Make sure the engine is off and cool. - Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid any electrical issues. 2. **Examine the Connector:** - Look closely at the connector to identify if there are any tabs or clips holding it in place. These usually need to be depressed or moved to release the connector. 3. **Use Penetrating Oil:** - Apply a small amount of penetrating oil (like WD-40) around the connector. This can help loosen any dirt, grime, or corrosion that might be causing it to stick. - Let it sit for a few minutes to penetrate. 4. **Depress Tabs or Clips:** - Use a small flathead screwdriver or a pick tool to gently press any release tabs or clips. - Be careful not to break the tabs by applying too much force. 5. **Wiggle the Connector:** - Gently wiggle the connector back and forth while pulling it away from the thermostat. Sometimes a bit of movement can help break it free. - Avoid pulling too hard or at an angle, as this can damage the connector or the wiring. 6. **Use a Connector Removal Tool:** - If available, use a connector removal tool designed for automotive electrical connectors. These tools can help release the connector without damaging it. 7. **Apply Gentle Heat (if necessary):** - As a last resort, you can use a heat gun or hairdryer to gently warm the connector. This can expand the plastic slightly and help free it. - Be cautious not to overheat and damage the connector or surrounding components. ### If the Connector Still Won't Budge: If the connector is still stuck after trying these steps, it might be best to consult a professional mechanic. They will have specialized tools and experience to handle stubborn connectors without causing damage to the electrical system. ### Additional Tips: - Take your time and be patient. Forcing the connector can lead to damage. - If possible, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for specific instructions on the thermostat connector. If you continue to have trouble or have any more questions, feel free to ask!

I’m sorry. Didn’t get you

You know what to do. Try to go with metal housing. Good luck with the job Thank you
