Information gained 💯 thanks!!

Damn, I'm in the process of installing a thermostat and decided to check out a video prior just because. I never knew about that little vent hole. I've played with it with my finger but never knew it should be facing up.

Hello Scott! That component helps to get the air pockets out of the engine or as we call it burp air out. Also, this helps small amount of coolant to get by and always to have circulation through the cooling system and help or prevent static flow. Take well care Scott!

@elchanojose4633 thanks for the info. I finished installing my new thermostat shortly after my last post. I went to check the positioning of the vent hole on my old thermostat. By luck I positioned it at the 11 o'clock position. Bit I'm good now. No leaks.

My stant one doesnt have any hole im so confused

the jiggle pin faces upwards so the air can escape

Tab always goes to the top at its highest point 👍

I bought a thermostat from AutoZone and it doesn’t have the jiggler pin should I install it?

Thanks homie

It does that no matter where the thermostat is located.

Hell yeah Brodie

Great! 👍🏻

Hello! Some thermostats are not made the same. Some are made different but still work. The only advantage of that little silver valve is to allow air trapped to move by when the thermostat is close. This helps the engine to burp air out and fill the space with coolant. Take well care!

Real mvp

It called as jiggle pin

So the little metal thing has to be open?

Hello! The metal does not have to be open, it would be good and helpful to sit at the highest point when installation. Also, keep in mind that the thermostat be installed in the right way for it to operate properly. Take well care!

Tha k you for explaining the little thing that can be a fatal mistake

Is it hard to install one ?? Just asking cuz I took mine to the shop and it’s been 2 days 😅😅

@elchanojose

Hello Miguel! A thermostat is not that hard to replace. Some cars require more labor than other but 2 or 3 days is too much time for this kind of job. The reason on why your car is taking too long for a thermostat replacement, is probably because the shop has other cars that are being worked on and your car is sitting there until a spot is available. Take well care Miguel!

@gta4162 Yeah, that's true for me and you, but the original comment obviously doesn't know much about cars so it'll take them longer + i was talking about cars in general not just about this one because some would need a lot more work just to change a thermostat

It’s super easy. If you have the funds to pay the shop and you don’t feel like fooling with, then take it to the shop. But if you want to save money, do it yourself. I do a lot of maintenance myself. I’ve learned a lot by watching many KZread videos.

I don't understand how you can install it the wrong way. You can't install upside down, only a 180 maybe

The thermostat I replaced on my civic literally wouldn’t fit unless the release tab was at the top. Pretty smart engineering.

I drill it out sorry don't need it can drives better and faster

Hello! There is nothing wrong about drilling it out. Makes sense on having a small hole to let small amount of liquid to go by. I don’t know about making it go faster but everything can be posible. Take well care!

It does matter. The side with the coil spring always faces into the motor. If you install it backwards it will overheat

Probably not but I’d install it with the jiggly point facing upwards at 12:00
