I have to tell you that the K24 series engine is one of beauty, The engineers designed that engine with customers in mind to self service the machine....
Another great video. Thank you for taking the time. People can eat off your car; it is so clean...
Yup have had mines for 15 years still running first and only vehicle
His videos are life savers
A+ for actually showing yourself getting some bolts out of a tight spot!
Great videos, I have had difficulty finding anything on how to DIY repair this generation of accord. Very helpful, also very nice you included a link on how to flush the coolant system because that is also something I needed to know. Keep up the great work :)
Erikka Kartak Thanks!
Always buy a physical Haynes Repair manual for any car you buy. They go through each step on how to repair anything on the car.
What happened with the old thermostat? Was it stuck? Did you get the overheat engine signal on the dashboard?
Hey kid! We have the same model and year so I have no problem watching on how and replace. Thanks! Saves me money for the labor...So doesn't matter the brand of Thermostat? Good job kid! God Bless...
Wow, I like that design. Looks a hell of a lot easier than my old honda was to get to the thermo housing. Thanks for taking the time to teach man.
This guy is pretty good. Thank you man, subscriber.
Thanks, great video! Is it the same for the Euro Accord/Acura TSX from the same year?
I just changed my thermostat on my 04 accord because every time I will drive in the highway and go about 70 mph my temperature will go down due to a stuck open thermostat and so now I decided to replace it but when I finished and took for a test drive it started to over heat and my car start to act weird like the rpms will go down a little. Any tips ?
If im running a chipped 05 accord ecu in a honda accord 03 will it pop up the code after thermostat replaced ?????
how do I change the spark plugs in my 2007 accord CDTI
I have a problem with my 05 accord the temperature gauge goes up and down but never goes all the way to the H you think this can be the problem?
how do you replace for a 2006 accord with a v6 engine
it worked thanks brotha you saved me ✊
my Honda accord ex 2003 is blowing I only cold air would this work
I have a 07 accord 2.4 litter i Recently replaced the AC compressor when I put it all back together for some odd reason The cooling e fan won’t come on I checked relays and put Power to the fan and it came on but won’t come on with it’s own power strange any tips anybody
Thank you. Took me about 40 minutes. No problems. And heat back in my car!
thank you for this video. helped me a lot.
Currently live in another city so they’re trying to tax 350+ for labor and part 🤦🏻♀️ at this point gonna do it myself. I did believe they said it was clogged tho if I replace it and follow this video does it being clogged change anything or I will be good to follow this video and the gasket I need to replace too it, doesn’t overheat all the time It reported it to the system that the engine was overheating due to it being so hot. I had got it checked out and he said it recorded it and just recommend I replace gasket as well.. and thermostat. Also engine light is showing. goes away and comes back the car is parked currently so it went away they’re still saying I should fix the catalytic converter as well. Should I after just see how it runs with the thermostat/gasket fixed first or replace both.
I have a 2005 Honda Accord lx my thermostat housing different has a bypass hose and a tube on it very different from yours
thanks, good video, gone try it this weekend.
Al Gniazdowski np!
I have an Acura TSX 2004 would the process be similar to this and would replacing the thermostat fix my heat it blows cold air and sometimes the heat will work and sometimes it wont it kinda depends on the day
I believe this procedure is the same on the tsx. For your heating problems, it would be an HVAC problem. The thermostat regulate the engine coolant and if your engine is running fine but your HVAC on your vehicle is being weird, its probably just the HVAC problem and you might want to diagnose that.
Thanks for your video. I was wondering if you could help me locate the thermo switch on a honda accord euro 2004 model?
Autozone can print out free diagram. Or any honda forum will know. Just look for around thermostat. Or autozone will show you diagram or a google picture search too.
Temperature switch or thermostat. Different but located by one another. Your temp switch has wires running to it and thermostat is inside as this guy shows.
So do i need to remove the thermostat to completely flush out the coolant (after flushing the radiator)? right now i have green coolant in my accord i want to switch to the Honda blue thanks!
+Martin Reyes yes
In a 2003 element is extremely difficult. The thermostat is completely covered ..
Thanks for the video, great shoe collection at the beginning of the video, very fitting for a manly car project video haha
+Taylor Webb lol I think you missed my 1 pair of shoe on the side there. The rest isn't mine haha
Taylor Webb a 2005 EX Honda Accord how to change thermostat
Good video I have an 06 Honda Accord i was having starter problems and the car was not driven in the last 2 months. I replaced the starter. And when I was taking it for a test drive the other day I noticed the temp gauge was on the high side of running hot. Can a bad thermostat cause this?
its possible, does it have a check engine light? if the temp is passed the mid level on the needle, it is over heating.
NutzAboutBolts yes the check engine light is on
check the code and see what it say.
first issue i had was that the heater control valve broke. The center screw came right off and started leaking coolant and overheated the car.
I replaced it and test drove it but i noticed the temp gauge was going up and assumed the thermostat stood closed since it overheated, i also replaced the thermostat. I test drove it and again it started over heating at this point i check the radiator and i noticed a small leak from one of the plugs in the bottom. i replaced the radiator and again overheating issues. the fans work. the thermosensor works too. any suggestions?
Hey man did you ever figure this issue out? I just replaced my heater control valve same issue. I don’t wanna do everything you did and have the same outcome
Just line up the holes and use a impact wrench lol
Always get worried when things go back together without a problem
Good video. I'm interested to know why it needed changed, Was it sticking open or closed and what were the symptoms.
donaldo1954 we were doing this video just to demonstrate how to replace it. But if you have a thermostat that is stucked closed, it'll cause the vehicle to overheat. If its stucked open, it'll run colder than normal and will set the check engine light. It can also cause poor fuel mileage and heater to blow cool air. I hope this helps.
The heater will blow cold air you say, if stuck open? So assuming the engine is normal running temperature, is this still the case?
My bottom radiator hose is permanently cold. I assume thats thermostat problem. but the heater also blows cold air inside the car. Not welcome in Ireland! Is it possible then I have two problems to sort?
i have a 07 Honda accord that overheats after a lil while of driving changed thermostat with the help of if video wife drove it and still does it what can it be
Letty Lopez did you get rid of air in the coolant system? Also this tends to be a sign of head gasket going if you begin to get boiling of the coolant or if you have white sweet smelling smoke coming from the exhaust
I have a clogged thermostat, how do I open the flap until I can replace the thermostat?
not recommended, replace your thermostat.
Sir;
Thanks for your great videos, really appreciated, it helped me and my friends to save lot of money, thanks again. Now, we have to problem, we have a Honda Accord EX 2005, DOCH, that the radiator water is boiling, fans work when the AC on, but the temperature still goes little over the 1/2 mark and when it gets hot, coolant goes over the refill bottle. We decided to first change the thermostat, if problem continue, we will replace the water pump. Also, the heater did not work until the car started moving, hope you can tell us little more, thanks
Respectfully;
Andy
check the radiator fan switch if its working.
Yes, the radiator fans are working when I turn on the AC, the heather was not working properly but when the vehicle started driving, the heater started to work again blowing hot air to the cabin. Anyways, I'm going to replace the thermostat tomorrow. I know for sure that that I saw that water boiling sending that hot water causing over flow in the accessories reservoir bottle. Anyways thanks I will keep you informed if I need some more help, great videos by the way, thanks
Respectfully; Andy
when you turn on your A/C, that's not the radiator fan, that's the condenser fan. The radiator fan is the one that attaches to the radiator, which will turn on when the engine gets too hot.
Thanks
@@NutzAboutBolts where is the located?
Is there a video on how to drain the coolant? @NutzAboutbolts
Yes, we made it 2003-2007 Honda Accord Coolant drain and refill
czcams.com/video/eVBTB9PSu54/video.html
Thanks for the great video. I have a quick question. I drive a 2003 Honda Accord and heater and A/C stopped working. But sometimes they suddenly work for a few seconds while driving but then it stops working again. Would replacing a thermostat be the solution to this kind of problem? Thank you the reply in advance.
seems like an electrical issues... what is the history of the vehicle? when did you start noticing both stopped working?
It has 160k miles on it, and the first time i noticed the problem was about a month ago.
can you send us a video of the problem? like you turning on the A/C
and/or heater and whats the outcome, also there's a procedure I can send
to you to check if there's any DTC with the HVAC system. Send us all
this info on FB.
also I'm thinking if it could be a blower motor issue or a bad ground issue.
Turns out that the blower motor is not working properly as you pointed out. Thank you very much for your help!
About how long for that code to erase? Heard a drive cycle of about 50 miles for it to completely clear?
Use an OBD2 scanner to erase it, the fastest way.
How long did it take you to replace the thermostat? I have a 2007 accord and need to replace thermostat now. Car heats up when I'm sitting on a red light too long.
I went to Honda dealership and bought the thermostat for $97. It was a bit of a tight spot to work with but I got it done. I found the top screw to be the most challenging. Be careful with not dropping any of the screws in the engine. Remember, ONLY use Honda certified thermostat.
What if it’s not Honda certified?
Is it thermostat in the same location in V6 of this generation?
+Dhalip Mook It should be, just look for the thermostat housing and it'll be just behind it like in this video.
In the 03 it is not. It is top portion on the driver side front. Follow the bottom radiator hose.
Bro I have an 04 accord v6. My heater only blows cold air. Could this video be the solution? A couple days ago it was running fine.
Jose Casillas is the coolant needle stay cold or does it go to medium or hot?
NutzAboutBolts na its in the middle. Medium
Jose Casillas
does the AC work?
I would check the fuse and see if its blown.
It works but I mean its really cold here in Jersey. I put the heater up and on and cold air only comes out.
Jose Casillas
check the fuse, see if the climate control fuse is blown or not.
What if my pin came all the way out
does this leak out coolant? if is so would u have to remove under water guard from car to allow coolant to fall to floor ? also bad thermostat will it affect catalytic converter? I think this is my problem. Thanks
+Nice...Man it'll leak out a little through the under guard, as for a bad thermostat, it'll affect the engine by not turning on the radiator fan to cool down the engine from over heating. I would recommend getting it replaced if its the problem. What's wrong with the cat?
+NutzAboutBolts -egg smell coming out vents, many say its due to a bad cat, im also hearing it can be from a bad battery. not really trying to mess with the cat or exhuast without it being the problem. resaon i want to replace tstat is because of my temeprture gauge wont budge from C at times and sometimes it even falls below C temperture.
Nice...Man if its your tstat, it would cause the temp gauge to be in the Hot position, check your coolant temp sensor if its working. As for the egg smell, yeah it can be caused by the exhaust. You should get your exhaust system checked out with a smoke detector so they can see if there is a leak in the exhaust system.
thinking about replacing ect sensor sender, but im having a hard time finding where and how to replace it. gonna have battery checked at autozone to see if thats the egg smell issue. lmk if you have any information for me . I really appreciate it thanks.
Nice...Man
the ECT is located on the right side in front of the radiator. If you are facing your vehicle, it'll be on the right side, by the bumper grill. Hope you find it and test if that's the problem.
do you have to drain the coolant first before changing the thermostat?
you don't have to, but you should or else there will be full of coolants come pouring out.
I did. so now I have another problem maybe you can help me.
I was able to install the thermostat no problem now all of a sudden I got another issue. after letting my car run for a few minutes my temp gauge runs hot I see smoke coming from under my hood I lift my hood and my coolant reservoir is boiling and i see coolant all over the ground. I checked all my hoses and bolts to make sure everything was secured tightly before starting up What could it be? Please Help
*****
did you put the thermostat in properly? the nipple should be facing up. Where is the leak coming from?
I did I think it might be the radiator fan . Isn't it supposed to turn on within a minute after turning on the car? It only kicks in when I use the a/c
@@chaseman94 remove your thermostat , you don't need a thermostat your car won't run hot
My heater and AC will not blow any air. Google saying that this is most likely the issue. No check Engine light yet. You think it's thermostat?
Did you change the cabin air filter?
@@NutzAboutBolts I have not. That could cause no hot or cold air to come out? The cold air was getting warm while in park last week but when driving would get cold
And . Heat and air powered off completely earlier then came back on , haven't had any air come out vent since
@@VegasR8derVR360 id check if there’s air blockage from the cabin filter being dirty first. Then if you’re not getting cold air, could be low Freon in the AC system
@@NutzAboutBolts will do . Thanks
What mileage is good to perform this at?
TIKIMAN198 120k
How about when your starts leakn or its overheatn
the bolts wont come of it takes forever i feel like its free spinning
try using an electrical tool.
You can tell this guy doesnt work outside, pink gloves on to protect his hands 😂
Lol pink gloves was for breast cancer awareness. But we do wanna protect our hands from hardening overtime due to chemicals or dirt and dust working on cars. To each their own 👍🏼
What was the torque ratio in ft/Nm?
1lb is 4.4 nm, so it’s 35.58nm from 8lbs
@@NutzAboutBolts Thank you. My Accord is due within few weeks.
when, how often & why change the thermostat...
+Npetzold Npetzold you change it out when you change the water pump out. over time the thermostat will wear down and break, so you want to change it before it does. The thermostat helps the engine warm up and when its at the right temperature, it opens the valve and let hot coolant out of the engine and through the radiator to cool down. If its either stuck open the engine won't heat up properly and if its stuck closed, the engine will over heat and gets damage. It's best to change it when you change the water pump as well.
+NutzAboutBolts so the follow up question is... When do you change the water pump? My car is at 153,000 miles.
+Npetzold Npetzold 120k miles
+NutzAboutBolts yikes!!! Looks like I gotta start saving my quarters for both water pump & thermostat. I was gunna do the coolant flush now.. But I think I'll wait till I get those done first.
Are the bolts known to snap on the housing? Thats that biggest concern i have working on my car
Don’t over torque the bolts and you’ll be fine, hand tighten the bolts first
What about taking them off ik my thermostat and bolts haven't been touched at all since the car was manufactured and its at over 220k miles
@@projectskadi9354 it shouldn’t snap if you’re removing it.
@NutzAboutBolts alright thanks I really appreciate the confidence boost
@NutzAboutBolts Sorry if this becomes a bother, but I just found out how expensive a water pump replacement is, and I'd love to do it myself as well. Is that hard? Is there anything I need to worry about like again bolts breaking when loosening them?
Hey, thanks for the video. I just want to know my car problem as i can see engine light on my dashboard and engine is overheated while air-condition is on! While the engine is overheated and ac cooling is ver low. Cooling fans are working fine and fuses are ok. I wonder if i need to change the thermostat to overcome all these problems. Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.
Accord 2003
+Mustafa Samiuddin get the check engine light read first and see whats the problem, after that, fix the problem that's causing the check engine light.
+NutzAboutBolts Thanks mate. I would like you to list out the causes of engine light if possible.
Mustafa Samiuddin
There's a full list if you google it and the only way to know what the check engine light is by using an OBD2 scanner. You won't know what the problem is without knowing what that check engine light is for. A check engine light can be caused by a lot of reasons, electrical, mechanical, engine problems, sensors, and too much to list. Go get yourself a scanner and plug it in and check what the code number is.
Why couldn't you just replace the thermostat
is it icdti or gasoline?
+Hysen Durguti what do you mean ICDTI or gasoline?
+NutzAboutBolts icdti motor or vtec :)
*****
its vtec, gasoline engine.
+NutzAboutBolts thank you! i need to change on a icdti engine and its much worse

ouch lol. good luck :D
Sounds like you said 86 foot pounds of torque 😱
just so you acura tsx people know.. this is exactly the same thing they have a k24 also just not as nice as our k24a2 but everything is the same
Is this a V6 or 4 cylinder?
4 cylinder
Little bit of a pain in the ass to get to
That thermostat is $63.....ouch....
not a lot of explanation, poor view on video to see what's happening
it worked thanks brotha you saved me ✊
glad we could help :)
