I'm ruminating on whether I want to try and install a new water pump without removing the alternator since you mentioned in the water pump replacement video that you may need a c clamp and 27mm socket ( I have neither) to make it easier to reinstall the alternator. I have a new thermostat and water pump but not sure on how much hassle I want to go through for this. Probably should just do it thoroughly so I get a good flush and get it all done right.

Thank you. Very helpful videos. Neither the Old one or the new thermostat have a gasket. There's a seal but I am having some trouble keeping the thermostat in place when I try to put the housing back. Do I need a gasket or is that seal enough?

excellent video. thank you!

Thanks. Very helpful.

Good tutorial . I found the Dealer part fit way better also. It was 50$ yet worth it It fits a hair loose , and the gasket is slightly thicker and tapered, more so than aftermarket. The one i took out was tight yet not a bought at the dealer by vin# part It idols better , i think the flow is better the plunger is way bigger on it

Thanks for the video and mentioning the ECT. I have been looking for the location of it in my 98' Corolla. Do you have a specific video on checking/changing ECT. Also, do you have video on checking/changing fuel pump and/or fuel pressure regulator? Is the fuel pump on the 98' corolla under the back seat or by the driver front tire? Thanks! love your series of videos!

Hi I’m having issue with my 2000 Corolla will the ect sensor be on the housing aswell I’ve been having issues locating I’m thinking that’s my issue because my fans don’t turn on I checked relay and my fans work when ac runs I know fans are good I changed temp sensor already too. The one housing looks like fan temp switch

Do you know if the radiator heat sensor is attached to the thermastat or somewhere else?

thank you

What heat opening temp did you use? What is OEM temp for 1998-2002 Corolla?

I noticed you didn't use rtv silicone and the guy at my parts store said I needed it when I bought a new thermostat and gasket. What's the deal?

@NutzAboutBolts

you don't need RTV since you already using the gasket for the thermostat, if you add RTV, it'll cause a leak since the RTV will create a gasket around where you put it and it won't seal properly.

I just did this, I think it would have been better not to drain the whole system. Just empty the line when you open the thermostat housing and you'll lose a much smaller amount of coolant. It'll be messier though

@NutzAboutBolts

2 жыл бұрын

If you remove the thermostat without draining the system, coolant will gush out of the thermostat and you’ll have a puddle of coolant on the bottom of the car. Just be prepared if you decide not to drain the coolant.

do we really need to remove the belt, battery and drain coolant. toyota cars are not complicated according to me. what you guys say&?

@NutzAboutBolts

You don’t need to remove the belt, and battery. you should drain the coolant because there will be a lot of coolant coming out from the thermostats.

It seems none of the videos I find for a 1998 Camry seem to match up with my friends car... She has a 1998 Camry V6. And hers has a large radiator hose near the top of the radiator on the passenger side. None of the videos I have seen have that.

It's not possible. No. You need to do all three. Mainly because the alternator is blocking access and you can't remove that without belt.

I replaced the coolant temp sensor because I got the code P0128 and it went away for about 2-3 weeks then got the same code again but with P0128 (pd) . Everything seemed fine didn't overheat ...so I assumed it was the thermostat so I changed that out.. put everything together and now the thermostat is not opening and it's overheating. The only thing I can think of is air in the system??..... Somebody pls help....

@NutzAboutBolts

do you still have the code? have you done a coolant pressure test to see if the system is leaking? did you put in the thermostat properly with the jiggle on top? found any leaks? if theres air in the system, it'll be an easy bleed, just watch the coolant drain and refill procedure and do it and it'll bleed all the air out.

@carloscervantes7214

@NutzAboutBolts

you don't need a bleeder valve, just use the spill free funnel, run the engine until theres no more air and the radiator fan should kick on. If the radiator fan doesn't kick on, the system is still bleeding because there's still air in the system.

Would you happen to know where the radiator fan switch is located? My temp gauge is still showing my car getting hot after changing the temperature sensor, thermostat, hoses, and fluids. I'm not sure it's actually overheating. I know what that sounds like, and the engine isn't hot. I did notice that the temp goes down on the gauge when the fans kick on, but they don't seem to be staying as long as they should.
