Where is the thermostat housing for the cooling system located on a 2003 suzuki areo?

Okay, I am not sure. On some Barina's, if you follow the top radiator hose, the thermostat is at the end of it at the engine maybe with a plastic housing (which can crack). This was sold also as a Suzuki Swift. I can't promise anything about the links below but Here is an interesting video:

you can do that for any car, at any online dealer parts page.
no need to guess where parts are ever.
be handy.

follow the radiator hoses 2 the motor normerly were the top hose connects 2 the motor is the thermostat housing.but on some japanese cars the thermostat can be on the bottom hose make sure motor is cooled down as there is a lot of heat&pressure in the cooling system

Fig. The coolant temperature sensor is installed in the thermostat housing (click image for zoom).

1. Partially drain cooling system until coolant level is below cylinder head.
   
2. Disconnect coolant temperature sensor wire connector.
   
3. Remove sensor from thermostat housing.

Hope helps (remember to rate ths answer).

Hi, I don't have a picture, but trace the big hose from the bottom of the radiator to the engine, and it will be under the housing where the hose connects.

2.7L Engine

1. Disconnect negative cable.
   CAUTION Do not remove pressure cap with the system hot and under pressure because serious burns from coolant can occur.
   
2. Drain cooling system.
3. Remove radiator lower hose from thermostat housing.

6. Pull heater tube out of thermostat housing and position out of the way.
7. Remove bolt and two studs.
8. Remove thermostat housing, O-ring and thermostat.
9. Remove thermostat housing bolts.

To install:

1. Clean gasket sealing surfaces.
   NOTE Install thermostat with the bleed valve located at the 12 o'clock position, between tabs on seal.
   
2. Install thermostat and seal into thermostat housing .
3. If removed, install two studs.
4. Install thermostat, thermostat housing and O-ring and bolt. Tighten attaching bolts to 105 inch lbs.(12 Nm).
5. Lubricate new heater return tube O-ring with coolant.
6. Position heater return tube flange over two studs. Install nuts.
7. Tighten retaining nuts to 53 inch lbs.(6 Nm).
8. Tighten starter bolt to 40 ft. lbs. (54.3 Nm).
9. Connect the lower radiator hose to the thermostat housing. Install hose clamps.
10. Refill cooling system.
11. Inspect for leaks.
12. Connect negative cable.

4.8L, 5.3L & 6.0L Engines

1. Remove the air inlet duct.
   
2. Drain the cooling system.
   
3. Remove the radiator outlet hose.
   
4. Remove the thermostat housing bolts.
   
5. Remove the thermostat from the water pump housing.
   

The O-ring seal is integral to the thermostat housing

To install:

1. Install the thermostat to the water pump housing making sure the spring side is inserted into the engine.
   
2. Install the bolts.
   
   • Tighten the bolts to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm).
     
3. Install the radiator outlet hose.
   
4. Fill the cooling system.
   
5. Install the air inlet duct.

Not sure which engine you have so please pick the appropriate engine:

2.2L Engine

1. If equipped with an automatic transaxle, remove the exhaust manifold, as outlined in this section.
   
2. Drain the cooling system.
   
3. Remove the thermostat housing to water pump feed pipe bolts.
   
4. Remove the thermostat housing to water pump feed pipe.
   

Thermostat mounting-2.2L engine


3.1L Engines

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
   
2. Drain the cooling system to a level below the thermostat housing.
   
3. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
   
4. Disconnect the surge tank line from the thermostat housing.
   
5. Remove thermostat housing-to-intake manifold attaching bolt and nut, then remove the housing.
   
6. Remove the thermostat.
   

3.4L Engine

1. Drain the cooling system.
   
2. Remove the air cleaner.
   
3. Remove exhaust crossover pipe.
   
4. Disconnect the surge tank line fitting from the coolant outlet.
   
5. Remove the thermostat housing to intake manifold bolts.
   
6. Remove the thermostat housing outlet and thermostat
   
7. Clean the mating surfaces.
   

The thermostat is located in the water inlet housing that is connected to the lower radiator hose.
The thermostat is equipped with a by-pass valve. If the engine tends to overheat, removal of the thermostat would cause a decrease in cooling system efficiency.

TY for using Fixya (remember rated and comment this).

FACEING the ENGINE It is At TOP RIGHT SIDE Close to Master Cylinder takes About 1 hour to Replace Have Fun its a EASY One
Please Dont forget to RATE ME Thank You

1. Drain the cooling system.
2. Remove the bolts that secure the thermostat housing to the water pump feed pipe.

Remove the feed pipe

1. Remove the thermostat and retaining sleeve, noting the orientation for installation.

Installation Procedure
Install the thermostat and retaining sleeve with the dimple placed into the housing slotImportant: Lubricate the O-ring with soapy water or coolant before installing the O-ring in the water pump.

1. Install the feed pipe that connects the thermostat housing to the water pump.Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
   
   
   1. Install the bolt that secures the water pump feed pipe.
   • Tighten the bolt to 10 Nm (18 inch lbs.) .
   1. Fill the cooling system.

yas you can, drain the cooling system,disconnect the radiator hose at the thermostat housing cover , undo the two bolts and lift off the thermostat housing cover and gasket, withdraw the thermostat from housing, ri-fitting is the reverse sequence to removal , but use a new cover gasket and ensure that the thermostat is fitted with the jiggle pin uppermost . fill the cooling system .
