follow the lower Large radiator hose from the bottom right of the radiator to the engine...that is connected to a rounded metal pipe looking thing with 3 bolts i believe

[irichjohn]

is the thermostat next to the water pump?

Wouldn't that make it the upper hose, if its on the right side of the vehicle (always give sides of vehicle from the driver's perspective).

Make sure you bleed the HELL out of it after you change it.

hey to put the new thermostat,is their any proper way i mean like w/c one suppose to be on top & w/c one is bootom coz online its says the jigle be on top but i dnt see any jigle.

[DALAZ_68]

brain not working elaborate...and wut is w/c

[irichjohn]

w/c = which.i mean for the position of thermostat,is der any propr way to put in it?

[DALAZ_68]

the same way u took it out...

i know theres a gasket that goes on the rim of the actual thermestat that u get when u buy one from autozone...which u dont use...cuz realize... autozone parts are for multiple uses for a buttload of different cars...

[irichjohn]

thanks for ur help buddy!!!

[DALAZ_68]

happy to assist...now i sleep

[JeromeS13]

Haha. My bad. Its been a while since I looked at a KA.

And, when you install it, make sure the air hole is at the top.

-Jerome

[DALAZ_68]

yeah that...

[irichjohn]

hey buddy i need help.i changed radiator,water pump,thermostat but the temp gauge still went high.i really dunnoe whats goin on now w/ my car.theirs no leak

[DALAZ_68]

temp sensor might be busted...

its got a red tip on it...DO NOT REMOVE WHEN CAR IS HOT!!!

either that or u might be springing a leak somewhere...

i suggest u leave ur cap off next time u start ur car ( from cold start) and watch the water... if it over flows either ur reservoir or ur radiator just keeps over flowing not bubbling and junk then either ur thermie isnt working rite...or ur pump and ahh pumpin...did u make sure to bleed the system on an incline (front going uphill)... cuz if u didnt ur leaving air pockets...which equal hot air... which equals more heat

U SED BLEED SYSTEM ON AN INCLINE,U MEAN THE PUMP?WE DIDNT DO THE INCLINE THING.HOW TO I TAKE OUT THE AIR POCKETS?

[JeromeS13]

Jack up the front of the car when you're bleeding it. And shake the hell out of the front core support.

[DALAZ_68]

u can also try pumping the top radiator hose by squezing it
