I have a 2008 Nissan Altima, 4cyl. My son & I just watch this vid. & we have NEVER done anything like this before. It looks like he covered everything in this video, "step by step". (which is helpful!) So we are off to be mechanic's for the first time.. I will come back in here & give an update when we are done. (May the Force be with us, lol)

Very well done bud.

Is this a p1217 code for that ?

“I used this to get to get to it” bruh what is this!? 😂😂😂 12mm? 11, 10?

Looks just like the 09 Spec V

Thanks 🔥

I mounted the fuse for the amplifiers in exactly the same spot and same hardware on my 09 altima. 😂 I bought the base 2.5 model that didn't even come with a radio because of the price and I wanted to do my own sound system and wheels. I bought this car new in December of 2008 for $17,500. Now I'm watching videos on how to fix it.

You did a great job on this. 16-foot pound of torque. That is what I was told.

This was a real informative video. Thanks!

Yeah this is way too much work for a amateur. Got lost immediately. All i did was change my coolant and hope for the best. Not 100% sure if my thermostats are bad, but I did get that P0128 code. The Coolant was pretty dirty though.

Hello. I have a 2010 Altima 2.5L. My check engine light is on due to a thermostat warning. My engine heats up a little late but not too late. When I took out the thermostat, the top part was completely close and the bottom completely open. What can be the problem? TY

Good info at 69 I never seen two stats on one car🧐🧐🧐🧐

Good job👍🏻

Are both thermostats the same part?

Hello but you don't tell what problem have vehicles to replace this.

Heater pipe stuck sprayed it pb blaster hit it with a mallet shit .... that shit won't move if you wiggle it by hand 😂

Just finished mines this helped a lot!! (i got a 2010 altima)

What is the hose called that goes to the firewall?

Good video…very helpful. Thanks!

Just finished! Thanks for your video

Thank you dude. Im not sure why your video was so far out in the results when i searched for how to change this. So far you're the only one who actually did a step by step and didnt skip removing the housings. Unfortunately im gonna have my mechanic do this job.

Watched like 5 videos before this one that all missed stuff. Thank ya sm 🙏

Thank you so much This was the only video that show how to do it step by step and the only Nissan Altima 2008 I could find Thank you

Factory torque specs are 16 FOOT/POUNDS for every one of those fasteners you were working with (I don't know where you got 80 Foot/Pounds, maybe you meant Inch/Pounds).....

I have an 07 Altima and I don't feel the bolts for getting the heater pipe out. It is so odd. I thought 07-12 models are all pretty much the same, right?

Good video MauriceD! Thank you for the clear information.

Best auto repair video ever!

Boston is easier than the top just did one but your video is true others cut corners on hard part👍

whats bonnies last name? or what does ur tattoo say?

Thank you for the video. Is there any kind of adhesive I need to add to the gasket that goes on the water inlet or does it seat fine while you remount the housing?

Good video but 2 things... 1. On the water control valve you have the thermostat in wrong. THE SPRING GOES INTO THE ENGINE. 2. The torque you said for the bolts was for the V-6. Torque for the 4 cyl. is 16 lbs.

You need a nut tray magnet you gonna drop all your shit

Nice work! Thank you for your time to film this video

How did you put the heater pipe back on

Very concise language. Excellent video

When. your have 6 or 8 mm bolts I would think torque specs would be in inch lbs, definitely not more than 15 to 20 ft lbs, lucky you didn't break them off, great video

Maurice is this Nissan 4 or 6 liter? I have a 6 and things are a little different. Three screws to take off that front piece and I don't see the thermostat.

I saw another video where they called both parts thermostats. They both do look like thermostats. Are they both totally different parts?

Thank you bro 🙏

Great vid. Awesome job and good information.

Did you put any silicone or anything on the gasket

It was a great video. I got a question are the 2005 interchange Bull with 2008

I bought a mishimotto thermostat it doesn't fit the bottom thermostat housing is it designed for the top thermostat housing is that why it won't fit are both thermostats the same size?

such a good video. I would like to help you as well - straight out of the Haynes repair manual for 07-12 Altima: Thermostat and and water control valve housing bolt torque specs are 16 ft-lbs for 4 cyl engines, and 87 in-lbs for 6 cyl engines. According to the manual, 87 in-lbs translates to approximately 15 ft lbs, but is expressed as inch pounds because torque wrenches can be less accurate at smaller values.

Hey brother do you need put silicone on the gaskets

Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 THANK YOU! this video is prefect man you should do more videos I subscribed just because damn this was a great video

nice job. I have been having an issue with a P0128 which basically triggers when you do not get hot fast enough, so I replaced both thermostats with genuine Nissan. When I monitor via OBD2, with the AC running, it still does not get hot enough, staying under 185 or so, still do not understand why. With the AC off, the temp works perfectly going to around 205, no code. I have also replaced the sender. Just weird with no answers. I am going to take out the thermostats once again to make sure they are facing the correct direction, though I doubt that will make a difference. If anyone has suffered this issue, and solved it, please respond. It is annoying.

Thank you so much. Your video is great. It really helped me alot.

No need for the music. I'm trying to listen to your very clear instructions but I'm getting a head ache. Your video is entertaining enough because it's informative. No need for a sound track

can you tell the name of the part that covers the radiator
