THERMOSTAT (1.8L DOHC)
Removal Procedure
CAUTION : To prevent personal injury, do not remove
the surge tank cap while the engine and the radiator
are hot because the heat causes the system to remain
under pressure. Scalding fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure.

the Cooling System” in this section.
2. Loosen the hose clamp on the upper radiator hose
at the thermostat housing.
3. Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the ther-
mostat housing.
4. Remove the mounting bolts that hold the thermo-
stat housing to the cylinder head.
5. Remove the thermostat housing from the cylinder
head.
6. Remove the seal ring from the thermostat housing.
7. Remove the thermostat from the thermostat hous-
ing by pressing the thermostat mounting flange
downward and then rotating the flange clockwise.
