Great job bruno!

I did this job a couple of years ago and it drove me nuts. I had a tutorial but still it was very annoying and despite being very careful I broke my brandnew thermostat housing (was around 70€) and I had to get a new one. I was so mad that I immediately closed the bonnet and called it a day. Very tedious job.

Nice video bro 👌, me i'm on 1.9 16v Astra H, one time i had a issue with the temp sensor, the wires was exposed and was touching each other. That gave me a fault code, i isolate the wires and clear the code.

Very nice. Thanks for watching

Thanks Bruno for showing changing the thermostat. I did this work last spring at my 8V JTD, 77kw, and was really frustrated afterwards, because I did all that work due to gauge showed max. temp of about 75-80°C, but there is no change now. I have used a BEHR thermostat. Any idea?

Did you reuse the old temperature sensor?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. Thanks for watching. Can be a number of things. What car is it?

[@Brisbane2024]

@@alfaromeonoproblem it’s a 156 JTD, 77kw, from 2000.

[@Brisbane2024]

@@DashCamSerbia No, there was a new sensor included with the thermostat.

Then It could be the gauge in the cockpit that is out of tune.

Oh man, I just had a huge coolant leak on my 2.2 JTS. I can't drive the car untill it is fixed. :( I am not able too see exactly, but it looks like it is leaking on 12600832 housing.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

O hope you can fix it

[@DashCamSerbia]

@@alfaromeonoproblem I can't. I have to get it towed to the dealer for them to fix it. :/

[@DashCamSerbia]

It was the water pump that had leaked. It is timing chain driven, so they say that they need to remove the chain in order to replace the pump. And they don't have the special tools for doing the timing, so they have ordered it. It means that they have never done this on this engine, and they will be learning it on mine. :( The original pump lasted almost 188.000 km.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@DashCamSerbia no tools are required for timing. And it is possible to replace the pump without messing with the timing. That is an American GM engine, there are tons of videos for all of that

[@DashCamSerbia]

@@alfaromeonoproblem I know it uses a GM L61 block. I don't know, maybe it is not possible to remove the pump, because the chain is in the way. You did the chain replacement on this engine? Maybe the Alfa Romeo official instructions say that you need to remove the chain. I don't know what to do. :( I hate when someone is messing with my car. But they are the official dealers, and I can't just call them and tell then that they are doing it wrong. :/
