LandCruiser 200 How To: Replace thermostat and coolant

[@Birdsville2014]

Great video as always! At one stage the behind the counter person at the dealership suggested a coolant change as they had found that not changing was problematic.

Long time no see, thanks for the tip learned a lot from your videos, Thermostate renewal is coming up next as a regular maintenance job. Unfortunality the cruiser has to stay for longer in the garage due to the COVID 19 travel restrictions. Stay save... cheers

Great to see you back Jamie. I did this job a couple of years ago , changed water pump and thermostat, Cruiser now done 285,000 ks. Looking forward to a brake fluid flush using the techstream (cheeky content suggestion) Cheers Eric.

I did try and give this a shot, but I ran into two problems... firstly the air intake connector part would not come off after undoing the bolts and the hose clamps (the hoses seem very stuck on), it just would not move. Second problem I ran into, the coolant drain valve under the engine just wouldn't budge. I can get to the thermostat without removing the air intake connector, but without draining the engine of coolant the pump is presumably full of coolant. Going to try getting a better spanner to get a better grip (used the toyota one which isn't that great to be fair) and my socket wouldn't fit in there (theres also a connector just above the drain valve which makes it impossible to get a socket on it).

[@austimages]

You don't HAVE to drain the coolant from the engine valve to replace the thermostat. Yes, coolant will probably flow out everywhere as you start to loosen the thermostat housing, but that's no big deal. You do want to be able to drain it eventually though, as coolant should be replaced periodically.

[@shihan74]

@@austimages unfortunately when I did get under there to the engine drain plug I saw a different problem and figured out the coolant pump is leaking. Surprised how cheap that part is, but it looks like an ugly job

[@tempestv8]

Maybe the viscous coupling for the radiator fan needs to be replaced too.

So, no sealant needed on the LC200. Seems older vehicles required sealant.
