Hey guys,

The cheap plastic radiator flange that the main radiator hose attaches to, cracked last night.

I'm looking for directions, or a link to someone's page with a how to on how to change the radiator, and also the thermostat.

I've change an older civic's radiator out before. It shouldn't be too bad, I just wanna make sure I'm doing it right.

And I believe the houseing for the thermostat, is at the opposite end of that main radiator hose connected the the piece that broke on mine. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If someone can give me directions on how to do this or a link, please help, thanks..

 

sorry, i havent done a thermostat replacment on my tl so i cant help u there. try searching for previous posts. Good luck, hope verything goes well.

 

all i can say is that i had to pay $170 labor to have mine changed so unless you know what you doing (not sure how similar it is to the civic) i would either ask a pro or get a Chilton book (bout $17 - $19 at local auto store).

 

Well I was thinking somone on here might have a Haynes manual for our car.

I have the radiator disconnected , but the transmission fluid lines also run into the radiatior so now I have that to deal with.
