In today's video, my Honda Civic Project Car has a stuck-open thermostat! This causes the engine to run too cold and not allow it to get to proper operating temps. So in this Civic vlog, I show you how to easily locate and replace a Honda Civic thermostat as well as burp the coolant system. Short, sweet, and somewhat to the point. Enjoy!
While there is MANY videos on how to replace and install a Honda Civic thermostat, I thought it would be good to document this on the channel! A good old fashioned Civic vlog where (mostly) everything goes according to plan. The thermostat is one of the few things that has failed on this car over the years. With a recent cold snap, my temp gauge was cooling as I was driving. Usually meaning that the thermostat is in a stuck-open state.
This job can easily be done with a couple 10mm sockets and a little bit of time. I recommend spraying and soaking the thermostat housing bolts with PB blaster (days or hours) prior to removing them. After the install, I burped the cooping system for a half hour to make sure there was no air or hot spots in the lines. Overall, a very simple job that anyone can do with the right parts and tools.
Hopefully you enjoyed the video, learned something new, or just liked seeing a Civic video!
