2004 Honda Element/CRV Thermostat Replacement

Рет қаралды 254,600

This video is a complete guide to replacing the thermostat on your Honda Element or CRV with a K series engine. Space is limited and it can be difficult to access the part. Rust can also be a factor.
I cover how to handle both of these issues for a successful thermostat replacement on this engine. This information will also apply to other Honda vehicles with the K series engine.
Also, if you get a PO128 or P1486 code, you might need to perform this procedure to repair the problem.

First, I want to start off to say that EricTheCarGuy channel is a Fantastic channel. Eric's works on his Honda Element, helps me a lot in understanding my 20 years old CRV Gen 2 and turning that understanding to practical know-hows. About the Thermostat replacement, from my personal experience. I found that there are at least 2 more ways to do it faster or easier or lesser risky in getting striped thread insert at the thermostat housing attached to "block"/water pump/water passage. 1) Mix of access from bottom as shown by Eric and from front after taking out condenser fan/shroud together with the coolant expansion tank. 2) More dismantling works involving other obstructing parts, but easier in taking out thermostat or entire 2-part (upper and lower) thermostat housing. It involves taking out intake manifold unit and work from top only.

I love all your Element videos, because I have one myself. This one was especially good, because of the camera angles and the lighting (keep up the good work Brian). It really allowed me to see everything you were doing in that dark place where the thermostat was. One thing that I didn't see clearly is how you were able to rev the engine from under the hood. Last time I needed to it, also when changing coolant, I resorted to putting a brick on the gas pedal. :)

I never have to go through this dog-and-pony show that Eric just struggled through. My headlights are glass, too. 27 years since they came out of the factory, and they're not the least bit cloudy. I love this car! Modern Honda can suck my dipstick.

I recently acquired a really nice southern, rust free 2002 CR-V. Really nice car. Only 160,000 miles on it. One owner. Very solid vehicle. I've been going thru it, changing basic stuff out, fluid, filters, etc. Have come to the conclusion that compared to my old 1997 Corolla, it is much harder to work on. Matter of fact, I was thinking about changing the thermostat out on it, since it seemed to read a bit cool according to the gauge. But after watching this video, not sure if I'm going to attempt it. Might just sell the thing and go out and find another trailer park Corolla. At least the Corolla is easy to work on. Great video, tho. Thank u.

I recently replaced the thermostat on an EP3 Si ('03) with a K20 that was very similar to this. No hyperbole--it was the most frustrating thing I've ever experienced in 15+ years of maintaining my own cars. The Si had almost 17 years of Ohio rust on all three thermostat mounting bolts, so the heads stripped even with those special "rusted bolt" sockets. I ended up just busting up the plastic thermostat housing into several pieces to gain more bolt surface area to grip. Even the catharsis of breaking the old thermostat I had been fighting with for hours was tempered by how damn hard it was to get to. Luckily I had the foresight to order new bolts from Honda (that cost way too much), so it only ate up most of my day.

@Bobman84 7 жыл бұрын

I turn the heater fan on to confirm proper heat coming out of the vents at a consistent temperature and to ensure the heating system indeed works after working on the cooling system, but probably more relevant with a full flush (including the core).

@bantz001 7 жыл бұрын

Good thinking on the anti-seize. I use it all the time on anything that causes the sphincter factor taking it apart. I own vehicles for way too long, and it's likely I'll have to go back where I've been years later when things are twice as rusty. Other than the fact that it's messy, it helps.

I swore never to do a thermostat on a Vel Satis ever again.

Like my Mitsubishi, no external fuel filter. Back in the old days before everything was a money making scam you could buy a high pressure fuel filter for 20 bucks. Now you have to buy the whole fuel pump "assembly" for 380 bucks.

I just had the whole cooling system overhauled, all new hoses, radiator and it looked like they put some white sealant on the water pump? Do you think that maybe the guys just chucked the thermostat because it's such a hot climate here? Didn't see any charge for one on the bill. And do you have any idea if an NV has a timing chain or belt? I've always heard chain cause it's like a truck (actually more like a little El Camino!) Cool little car actually...ever heard of it?
