I’ve been needing to replace my thermostat on my 2008 miata that I just got and this video helped me out so much, i studied this video , bought what i needed to , and got started . I will say it was absolute hell getting that thing replaced though . Once I got the throttle body off I spent at least 2 hours trying to get the smaller hose that’s attached to the thermostat off and in the middle of the job I had to go pick up the correct pliers and it was still hell, then I got it off and I kept dripping stuff in my car and I had to fish it out . Anyway the point is this was hell but it was worth it and saved me money in the end and I’m very thankful for this video. It took me a total of 6 hours to get this done in one sitting😭

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Sounds like a bit of a nightmare unfortunately... but I'm really glad that you got it done 😀 I'm glad that video is helping out

[@albertstrong5516]

You did a great job on the video. And thanks for not having loud music playing. I enjoyed watching.

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

That's amazing! Well done 😀 thank you for the feedback

[@phillipdavies3896]

Thanks so much for this video. I have been needing to replace the thermostat on my 2006 for a while but I read some horror stories online of how difficult it can be so I have been putting it off - this video is a life saver. I plan to tackle this job during one of the next couple of weekends before the track season starts!

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Thank you very much! No worries at all. Yeah it's easy as long as u know what u doing... u know now 😀

[@stephenwood1282]

Well laid out, detailed and executed "how to" vid.... keep it up brother

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Thank you very much. I appreciate it

[@jonwest1978]

Fantastic video, it’s very concise and I managed to replace the thermostat just as easy as you did. Many thanks

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Awesome 😀 well done. Thank you for the feedback 😀

[@maximilianochoo7660]

Did this at work right after watching it on my lunch great vid

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Awesome! Well done 😀

[@MrHammy360]

I did this today and the eml has come on the dash. It wasn't on before. The car is warming up now but no heat from the heater. Any ideas?

[@tomm1746]

Great video ! Thank you. Did you have to cut the hose due to choosing the longer thermostat? Thank you

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hi there. Thank you. No in my case I've managed to fit the normal hose back on.

[@Phil_f8andbethere]

I was hoping that it would be as easy as my Mk3 Cortina was back in the day! (done in 10 mins!). I think I'll have to get the garage to do this !

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

U can do it without taking the wheel off. On the full lock.

Very helpful video. Thanks.

[@roadrunner594]

While viewing yr "how to" vid. I noticed yr belt seems/shows wore spots... if you haven't done so yet. Will you be replacing that belt and doing a "how to" vid as well?

[@ranis8959]

great video. quick question, when you bleed the system do you keep the cap off while running the car? i know its a pressurized system so wasn't sure

[@ranis8959]

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne thank you Alex. but with other cars i usually have the engine run so the thermostat will open and get all the air out of the system. these cars had a radiator cap. since this is a pressurized system, to bleed the engine block i need to have the car reach operating temp so the thermostat will open but wasn't sure if i can do it with a funnel and the pressure reservoir cap off. thank you for such an amazing video

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Ohh sorry bud my mistake. For some reason I thought about the brake fluid bleeding. I only realised what video it is now... I do apologise! Yeah when bleeding the system you definitely need engine running and keeping an eye on yhe coolant level. I leave the cap off in the begging to keep it full while its filing up and then closer to normal op temperature I put it back on 😀 to pressurise it.

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne thank you so much I was a bit surprised when you wrote car off. Keep posting more nc videos please love how detailed you are

Thank you very much! I appreciate your support and kind comments

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne any time. This is a 2007 Miata that I have as a summer toy car with only 44k miles so it’s my first cooling system flush and want to change the thermostat and water pump since it’s too old also the tank I order the maroso one. I’m a bimmer guy so not so much experience on the NC. Please add more videos you rock brother

[@roadrunner594]

What does it mean? Btw I used equivalent to fl22... the green for asian for my mx5...same yr etc as yrs l. I noticed low coolant I topped ot off the when I drive or mx5 warms up on AC or Heat on. The coolant comes out of overflow reservoir tube. It shows low coolant again. I repeated a few time w same results. I'm thinking thermostat malfunctioned, needs replaced. I'm a hands on non-professional diy'r. Am i on target? Pl ty

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

I would recommend doing headgasket check or try and bleed cooling system to make sure u got no air lock

[@roadrunner594]

I have a vid request... I haven't seen a proper "How to completely flush out the entire coolant system" even from the block, per yr make model. Ty

[@MrHammy360]

Great video so thanks

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@maxthecaddy8451]

is this the same for the 1.8 engine mx5 mk3 NC 👍

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Yes it will be

[@maxthecaddy8451]

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne thank you mate 👍

[@KHarHar]

Tempted to attempt this myself… does anyone know if the process with the 1.8 engine is similar to this?

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Engine will.be exactly the same 😉

[@KHarHar]

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne You're a saint! Doing the job tomorrow. Thanks!

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

No worries. Good luck 😉

[@AmaanKhan-te8ll]

Doesn't look too bad to do , probably just a bit fiddley.

[@roadrunner594]

Yr reservoir history per yr make, model etc is prone to break n leak causing fatal damage to yr motor... If you've not done so, pl make a vid replacement of reservoir pl ty.
