Hi,

Your engine must be cold before removing the thermostat.

Find the location of your thermostat by following the rubber hose located on bottom of your radiator (passenger side) to the point where it attaches to the engine. Remove the two bolts at that location and you'll find your thermostat nestled in there.

Be sure to place a pail under the car to contain the coolant.


Thermostat Operation:

where is the thermostat located - 00047_thermostat.jpgThe automotive thermostat is a temperature controlled on and off valve. When the temperature rises to a predetermined temperature, the thermostat opens up to allow the engine coolant to flow through the cylinder block and the radiator. This flow is crucial to maintain optimum operating temperature for fuel efficiency, enhanced driveability, and engine protection. The coolant flow is reduced when the engine is cold, and the flow is increased when the engine is hot. Contrary to popular opinion, operating the vehicle without the thermostat doesn't make the engine run cooler. It will actually run hotter because there isn't a thermostat to slow the coolant flow. This means the coolant doesn't stay in the radiator long enough to dissipate its heat.


All the best

Ben

Gfdn110eloww dryer not drying
If your dryer does everything but heat up, there's a good chance that its heating element is the number one suspect. Unfortunately, the heating element cannot be repaired, but it can be replaced. other things to look for is the overheat protector located on the heating element tube you can check both with a continuity tester. make sure dryer is unplugged and wires on the items you are testing are disconnected first

Are there two thermostats for a 2012 Chrysler 200 with a 2 .4ltr engine and where are they located
There are two separate thermostats in your application, a primary and a secondary. The primary and secondary thermostats have different temperature profiles in terms of their opening temperature because they are located on different areas of the engine. The primary thermostat is located on the front of the water plenum in the thermostat housing/coolant inlet. The secondary thermostat is located in the cylinder head under the water plenum. The adapter that you are referring to does exist and I believe it is associated with the secondary thermostat.Here is a link to the first one. https://www.autozone.com/cooling-heating-and-climate-control/thermostat/duralast-thermostat/335455_381037_13514_93207 Here's the second thermostat. https://www.autozone.com/cooling-heating-and-climate-control/thermostat/duralast-thermostat/335477_381036_1620_93207

Where is the thermostat located in my 1995 mazda 626
The thermostat is located on the engine block, where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine. You'll see a large elbow-like component that is attached to the engine with 2 bolts.
Just follow that upper radiator hose and you got the location. When you remove that housing (elbow-like component), you'll see the thermostat.
Make sure you note which end of the thermostat is up and which end is down. Don't reverse the install.
