• Q: How to replace the thermostat in a 1.4L/1.6L DOHC engine on 2006 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Before replacing the Thermostat in a 1.4l/1.6l dohc engine you must depressurize the cooling system to prevent boiling coolant accidents when removing the pressure cap. Begin by draining the coolant. Begin by removing the throttle body coolant inlet hose and upper Radiator Hose both attached to the Thermostat Housing. Extract the Thermostat Housing bolts before you remove the housing along with your new Thermostat and gasket. First inspect the gasket for defects while inspecting the valve seat for any foreign elements that may block proper seating. Finally verify that the Thermostat functions as expected. The fastener notice must be followed before installing the Thermostat and housing with bolts torqued to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). After reconnecting the throttle body coolant inlet hose the upper Radiator Hose needs to be secured to the Thermostat Housing using a hose clamp. Finally, you should refill the engine cooling system.
