New Thermostat with Housing Assembly from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AEM...
This video shows you how to install a new thermostat housing from TRQ on your 2008-2017 Buick Enclave. The thermostat controls the flow of coolant in your vehicle’s engine. When a thermostat fails, it can lead to overheating, which will damage the engine. One sign of a faulty thermostat is a cool upper radiator hose when the engine is at full operating temperature. It’s important to replace the thermostat immediately if you suspect it is failing.
Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 1 hour 6 minutes

Please if you can respond I may need a few pointers n questions please 🙏 Thanks a million

Can you just replace the thermostat, or do you have to replace the whole housing?

@TRQ So i just replaced the ect sensor and i went to add some coolant back, capped off the resevoir, however, the actual radiator fill spot is no where near close to the top. Am I supposed to fill it up to full there also? After I put it all back together it shot the same codes, P0117 & P1258. The AC runs for a bit before it overheats and kicks into engine save mode, and the temp Guage drops to zero. I tried blasting the heat but it isn't working to help. The thermostat stuck and was replaced last year.
