On my old car which was an Audi, nightmare when I had to replace a 40 thermostat, it was behind all the timing belt pulleys the labour cost me the same as the labour of replacing a timing belt and pulleys. The worst part about it was that I just did the timing belt service two weeks prior to the thermostat going. So basically paid the same labour cost twice in two weeks. Considering that the timing belt service happens once every 100, 000 kms every five years or so. Thats why my next car was not an Audi

i had a citation that was cold all the time, not so much in summer but really in winter. no one else thought it was a issue but i knew it just wasnt right so i took the plunge and got a new thermostat just for the hell of it. it was my first car so i didnt have anything to loose. sure enough when i took the old thermostat out in a 70 degree day the thermostat was stuck open not alot, just a little more than a crack. my car was nice and warm come winter after that.

Thanks Scotty, for the video of replacing your pvc valve I have a Toyota yaris and almost lost all power to the engine while driving on the highway. It was burning oil and the engine was getting hot. You probably save my engine. Toke the pvc valve out it was loaded with oil. In less than 10 minutes I put a new one in the car runs like a champ Thanks so much Sometimes you get lucky in life and God gives us people like you

Scotty I have an 04 Ford F-150 my AC does not run, they tried charging it but did not need it, they looked at fuse and master fuse they looked fine. The Condenser looks fine and the fan is not locked or Frozen. What they are telling me the unit is not receiving power. I looked at the fan belt but they said that looked fine aswell. Any idea on what it could be? I am stumped. I am curious if the switch could be faulty.

I like taking care of my cars - good service and preventing the problems beforehand is a good idea - but I think changing the thermostat or radiator cap every 4 to 5 years is overdoing it. Havent changed neither on our 89 Corolla yet (bought as new. And we life in tough weather conditions, outside temperature varies from -31 to 95 Fahrenheit (-35 to 35 C. That means I couldve changed them 6 or 7 times for nothing.

A few months ago my radiator started leaking on my 2002 Nissan Xterra. Dealer wanted 700 to replace it. I found one on-line for 60 and I did it myself. Granted, the dealer was charging for labor, too, but it really didnt take me that long to swap it out and Im not a pro. Huge savings. Most of the time replacing a radiator is one of the easiest things you can do to a car.

Scotty--I make a practice of turning on the heater at least once a week, even in the summer, to circulate the coolant thats stashed in the heater circuit. I recently lost the plastic radiator on my 2001 Lexus IS300, but have not otherwise had any heating/cooling incidents in the 96, 000 miles I have on the car. Ralph L. Seifer, Long Beach, California.
