1998-2002 Honda Accord Thermostat remove and install

[@raviles9529]

My niece watched your video and a few others and changed the thermostat herself. You saved her a nice chunk of change.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

nice!

[@Vfh........y]

Great video as always. This help me a bunch and we all applaud your efficiency and helpful commentaries

[@overback2328]

Ahh, the dexterity of youth! Very much appreciated dude. Hey, get some Mil 7 gloves from Harbor Freight. That's about the only thing they sell that lasts longer than your walk out the door.

[@hondaboy8018]

I find that funny cause Harbor freight tools are literally the same as snap on. Don’t believe me. Look up the videos of people taking both tools apart and examining the pieces.

[@DrowsyTho]

I did this with my car and found it was easier to put the bolts back on when the hose was taken off . great video! helped a lot

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Drowsy Ya Bish you can do that too :)

[@howardmotal1575]

I don't understand how you warranted this many dislikes. All around descent video. Informative, to the point and always on topic. Too many blather on about something unrelated to the subject and even migrate to something off topic like their dog. Some editing for lenght could cut the run time down a bit. Still a good solid "B".

[@Ronnie1001]

IMPORTANT - only take off the top thermostat cover with the 10mm bolts. DO NOT undo the 12mm bolts of the rest of the assembly behind as it is very difficult and time-consuming to get back without leaks as there is a big pipe going into the side of it at 45 degrees with only a rubber O-ring to seal it.

[@Ihavetruth22]

This is why modern cars suck. Honda engineering sucks.

[@chriss8319]

Should I do a flush after fixing the thermostat? Replace hoses? The video was great - it helped me fix my 2000 Accord i4 SE. It was overheating badly - the engine would come up to temp and stay there for a minute or so and then it would literally shoot up and past the H. Turning on the heater in the car did nothing - no heat came out, so I knew something was keeping the coolant from flowing. In the process of troubleshooting, it overheated 5 or 6 times so I am worried about damage to hoses but more importantly to the engine. No blue smoke or idle problems so far but I am wondering if I should do a major radiator/engine flush and which hoses I should replace. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+Chris S if you haven't done a coolant flush then I would do it, but if it's done recently, no need to waste coolant on it. Just top the coolant off once replacing the thermostat or radiator hoses. As for over heating, the thermostat probably didn't open and cause the engine to over heat.

[@rueridge7597]

Hey great vid. You have good voice and demeanor for this. Camera work could be better but what couldn't Thanks

[@Allbbrz]

There is a third screw to hold that bracket, which will make your life a lot easier because you will be able to use the socket wrench to remove that other hard screw at the bottom.... if you want to make things even easier, the water coolant hose can also be easily removed with a pair of good pliers - engage the clamp and move it out of the way and it's off.

[@wintersthrall]

This was incredibly helpful, thank you so much 😊

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Np 😃

[@AB-fs5ui]

I have a 99 accord v6 when useing my heater set to 75-79 blows cold when turning up to at least 85 I’m getting heat antifreeze is full actuators are working heater control valve opening n closing just no heat till turning temp up.

[@GROMEXCR22]

I would like to know what brand is that thermostat and does it come with a gasket?

[@clintdredge1172]

Great video thanks just did my thermostat and appreciate your helpGo well

[@mtt1974]

I would recommend taking the bracket off of the housing I can change these all day long in about 5 minutes tops!!!!

[@diaryofamadman8879]

How many bolts is on it? 2 or 3?

[@brewermarina5946]

Where u live at lol I need mine changed lol

[@randellrichardson9056]

I have a 2002 accord that needed a water pump. I has left water in engine wen we had snow storm and few days later had a water pump problem. had a honda tech replace timing belts and water pump. and bleed the antifreeze. drove maybe 20 miles temp needle stayed normal then suddenly it rose to 3/4. quickly turned car off and let it cool. checked antifreeze and didn't need any. took thermostat out this evening and drove 2 night & has done same thing.any suggestions?

[@abdirahmanabdi1234]

Can that be the cause of over heating...? Cause it’ll just go up and down by it self and sometimes it’ll go up and start overheating my car.!! I changed the radiator so that shouldn’t be the problem anymore.!!

[@fadedxmist7102]

1:57 whats that big black reservoir in the back left there called?

[@Ihavetruth22]

if its the metal can its EPA emissions crap.

[@israelcazares5955]

the second I turn the ac on. I see the monitor raise up alil so its in the process of over heating. people tell me to get a new car. but I love my car😢

[@noahmagana4118]

Israel Cazares same thing happened to me yesterday . You may need a new thermostat

[@larsenme]

to be clear here, you do or do not need to drain the coolant before you do this? and we are talking about draining the radiator fluid, correct?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+tbgbabag you do since the coolant passage pipe is there that you need to remove and it'll leak out coolant. Unless you plug the pipe up quick enough and no coolant will flow out.

[@danny___2980]

Never mind it was in the description thank dude

[@ds62]

Thanks for the video!!! It helped me out very much!!

[@NutzAboutBolts]

doug stewart np! glad we could help!

[@sulaimansurajudeenolanrewa187]

What is the work of the sensor under the thermostat

[@rhdadrian]

Nice! I wanted to see how you bleed the line to get rid the air, I know you showed where it's at.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

bleed the air from the coolant system?

[@rhdadrian]

NutzAboutBolts yeah! Do you open the bleeder and let it run till the fan comes on?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

follow our coolant drain and refill video, its that simple.

[@5gstar10]

I got a 1999 Honda Accord v6 4.0 and it overheats and everything comes thru the reservoir .It doesnt stay idle if i come to a complete stop.What is causing that? #needHelpASAP

[@memphisfizer8925]

Do you have to add more coolant after everything is put back together

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Memphis Fizer just top off the coolant reservoir afterwards.

[@PrecyseStylez]

Do you open the bleeder valve with car on or off? How should you operate the bleeder valve?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

the thermostat bleeder valve should be up.

[@jbandshahayeah1862]

There's a hole in your glove.thunbs down. Just kidding, good video. Except for the hole in your glove

[@NutzAboutBolts]

lol it happens, we have cheap gloves

[@danny___2980]

What brand is the new thermostat????

[@sidneyshaw9205]

My car is overheating. It is a Honda Ascot 1994. I drove it around the block and when I parked steam was coming from the engine. There aren't any leaks and the coolant is topped off. Any idea to what the problem is?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+Sidney Shaw I would check the heater hose under the distributor

[@transfolmer88]

Shit I can’t find any video of how to replace the thermostat but for - accord 98 3.0 vtec 😫

[@heathermaupin9957]

Having trouble with removing the bottom bolt any advice?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

you can remove the radiator hose if you don't have enough room to remove the bottom bolt.

[@ctngeneral]

The brass pipe the thermostat housing sits on do u know how to get that to stop leaking coolant

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+ctngeneral Are you talking about the Engine coolant temp sensor? you can use teflon tape on the thread.

[@MrKiet76]

There's only one way in right? Or can you accidentally put it in backwards?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

One way in, make sure the nipple jiggle is on top and not bottom.

[@CarLoverPhotography]

Thanks just ordered a new one for mine

[@1971dbf]

can you do a honda crv thermostat removal. thanks

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Niwrad Sislaf we don't currently have a CRV to work on, sorry...

[@jasonharris2686]

Is this on a 3.0 or on the 4 cylinder?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+Jason Harris This is the 4 cylinder engine.

[@RyanHallVicePresidentOfAwesome]

Thanks! Super helpful.

[@equesfuscus]

Should I disconnect my battery to do this operation?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

equesfuscus it's optional, not required since we didn't remove our battery.

[@equesfuscus]

NutzAboutBolts Thanks for this - I'm going to use your video this week! :-)

[@BurmaRound1974]

My 99 Accord LX usually runs about the middle of the temperature gauge. I've noticed for the last few days it's been running cool, at about one third mark. Is that an issue with the thermostat?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

do you have a check engine light?

[@BurmaRound1974]

It's not on. None of the dash lights are on. I checked and the overflow tank is normal, coolant just under the Max line.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

the temp gauge is normal, it should be below the middle mark.

[@BurmaRound1974]

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on it and keep you posted. Your videos are great!

[@NutzAboutBolts]

thanks!

[@drumtwo4seven]

Torque specs for the thermostat housing?

[@AGP_7]

how do i do what you just show in this video on a 98 accord v6

[@NutzAboutBolts]

it would be the same thing, just find the thermostat housing.

[@sulaimansurajudeenolanrewa187]

Nice job

[@ivysilvia1019]

Hi! How many degrees on an the OEM accord thermostat? :)

[@NutzAboutBolts]

190 degree is when it opens.

[@koreymayo8884]

oem thermostat temp is 170, not 190 and make sure you get a honda branded one.

[@yucelbulduk7356]

I need thermostat housing Honda Accord 1.8 2001.

[@drewottman3277]

I have a thermostat housing for you, message me back if you still need it!

[@danieldunn909]

thanks for the vid! Im no mechanic, but I am willing to bet that this is the culprit on my wife's car. The past week and half or so the car has overheated twice, each time there is coolant drops/splashes everywhere on that side (left side) near the air filter and thermostat and some residue ( Im assuming dried antifreeze). After we got it home the second time, i finally noticed a hissing sound that seemed to be originating in the same area. Thoughts? @nutzaboutbolts

[@danieldunn909]

I am going to mess around with it tomorrow and do the simplest test ive heard about, which involves taking the thermostat out and dipping it in boiling water for about 1 minute and look to see if itll open or not.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

do a pressure test on the coolant system as well to check if there is any leaks.

[@israelcazares5955]

my car was working fine or 4 days straight. then it started to over heat again n again. I run it off of water. my dad told me it Ru s only off anti but I can't afford any right now . it was working fine with water before 😔 idk I got a brand new radiator n thermostat

[@NutzAboutBolts]

water won't cool down the heat, you need 50 coolant and 50 water mixture or else you will over heat the engine. Do a coolant pressure testing to see if your cooling system is leaking or not... then fix the issue before you drive it anymore. You will blow a head gasket if you don't and you will have to buy a new engine if it happens. Good luck.

[@israelcazares5955]

Yeah my pops is gonna get it for me , he told me to stop using it before I burn out some rings he was talking about & tru I'll double check for leaks.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Israel Cazares fill the coolant back up, do a pressure test, if you have a leak in the system, you will immediately see a drop in pressure and will see a leak somewhere. Hope that helps.

[@thurm101]

Yeah your pops is right. Glad it's not the winter time also. Also if you can't afford it sometimes the junkyard sells used coolant. If you have a Pull a Part near you they sell it for $3. That's better than pure water. But I also buy walmart a 50/50 and it cheap too.

[@davidzjames8342]

This is a good video. I watched it at 1.25x speed.

[@tylerbunnell9927]

Very helpful, thanks

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Tyler Bunnell np

[@israelcazares5955]

I don't have any leaks. after every ride I have no water in the radiator n the water storage is full. the thermostat should be working!

[@AGP_7]

hey what on what car are you experiencing these problems? my 98 accord v6 does the same thing, "reservoir/water storage" is full with coolant and car overheats while sitting in traffic.

[@AGP_7]

can you please let me know if/how you solve that issue.

[@israelcazares5955]

Nothing worked. I replaced the radiator the thermostat and the water pump. Still over heats. Now I have to rebuild my engine because the piston rings burned out. Its a huge domino affect . I'm having to buy a new engine

[@AGP_7]

what car is that?? and thank you

[@israelcazares5955]

I got a 98 Honda accord 2.3 VTEC 4 cylinder

[@michaellindsey31]

A GREAT VIDEO

[@israelcazares5955]

and when I turn my ac on. it gives out allot of water than it should

[@aabc6769]

Thank a lot

[@ctngeneral]

Ok thanks

[@silentgrind34]

I have a 99 Honda civic, When I pulled into wal mart I noticed my hood was smoking after opening the hood the overflow tank was OVERFLOWING bubbling hot coolant everywhere??? I topped off the radiator and drove home but when I pulled into my neighboorhood again the temp gauge was going up and I was leaking coolant fro the overflow it was literally bubbling. I don't understand why however because there aren't any apparent leaks from the hoses or cap. PLEASE HELP

[@NutzAboutBolts]

replace your thermostat

[@silentgrind34]

+NutzAboutBolts that's why it's bubbling over? Would a bad radiator cap be the culprit too?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

easy fix would be thermostat... most likely problem, then take it from there.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

radiator cap could possibly not be holding pressure as well. might as well do both.

[@silentgrind34]

+NutzAboutBolts ok i did the radiator cap started smoking from the engine also my fans arent cutting on . Would the fans not cutting on cause the car to overheat? I imagine so but that doesn't explain t bubbling overflow. But you think its most likely the thermostat

[@ctngeneral]

It does not have threads it has a single o-ring on it

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+ctngeneral Maybe its leaking through the o-ring, sometimes those rubber o-rings get worn out and needs replacement.

[@autrychambliss7988]

why didn't you just take the hoses off??? just food for thought

[@koreymayo8884]

that's more work than necessary

[@wolfbrightstone4832]

fml bro... the bottom one is broken off inside of it..... i assume the bolts are the same length fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[@lothianmcadam1]

that doesn't look like a 2001 Accord...

[@NutzAboutBolts]

that is actually a 2001 Honda Accord... why do you say it doesn't look like it?

[@joejoe32505]

same but may be because mine is an LX model 2001 Honda Accord 4 cylinder

[@gallegossouth4331]

the view of where to locate the thermostat I wish you was a better view so I know where exactly it's at Now I got to find a different video because this one is really shitty!!!!

[@NutzAboutBolts]

You must be blind if you didn’t see we had bright lights shining at the thermostat when we removed it. Good luck finding what you’re looking for.

[@raviles9529]

My niece watched your video and a few others and changed the thermostat herself. You saved her a nice chunk of change.

[@EbbNYC141]

I think i can too
