How to Remove the Thermostat on a Geely Emgrand?

Geely Emgrand thermostat removal method is as follows: 1. Use a pair of pliers to loosen the fixing clip of the lower water pipe and move it to the rear end of the pipe; 2. After loosening, pull out the water pipe and secure it in place. Then, use a specialized tool to remove the first fixing screw of the thermostat cover; 3. Use the specialized tool to remove the second fixing screw of the thermostat cover. At this point, all screws have been removed. 4. Finally, remove the thermostat. Additional information: 1. The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the temperature of the coolant, changing the circulation range of the water to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. 2. The thermostat must be kept in good technical condition; otherwise, it will severely affect the normal operation of the engine. For example, if the main valve of the thermostat opens too late, it will cause the engine to overheat; if the main valve opens too early, it will prolong the engine's warm-up time, resulting in the engine temperature being too low.

Last time I replaced the thermostat on my Emgrand, I spent half a day preparing. You have to drain the coolant first, otherwise you'll get it all over yourself. Remember to do it when the engine is cold - working on a hot engine can cause burns. The thermostat is located at the water pipe connection on the side of the engine. Just remove the two mounting screws with a 10mm socket to take off the housing. The old thermostat was stuck pretty tight - I carefully pried it open with a flat-head screwdriver, being careful not to scratch the sealing surface. Before installing the new thermostat, clean the contact surfaces thoroughly and apply some sealant for extra security. After reassembly, remember to top up the coolant and start the engine to check the temperature gauge and look for leaks in the pipes. When doing it yourself, it's best to prepare a pan to catch the waste fluid and have new coolant ready as backup. The whole process takes about forty minutes.

To remove the Emgrand thermostat, first locate its position—it's hidden in the hose connection between the engine and radiator. Prepare a ratchet wrench with a 10mm socket and keep pliers handy. Start by loosening the drain bolt to completely drain the coolant, otherwise it'll spray out when opened. Be cautious with the rubber seal as it's prone to aging—avoid using excessive force when removing the old thermostat to prevent damaging the hose connection. When installing the new thermostat, ensure correct orientation with the arrow mark aligned to the coolant flow direction. Finally, tighten the screws without over-torquing to avoid cracking the plastic housing. After refilling coolant, start the engine and wait until the fan kicks in to confirm proper operation.

The thermostat of the Geely Emgrand is located on the side of the engine. Prepare a container to catch the coolant before disassembly. Use a 10mm socket to loosen the fixing screws and carefully remove the housing assembly. Pay attention to cleaning the sealing surface of the thermostat and check if the spring is stuck. When installing the new part, ensure the correct orientation and replace the rubber sealing ring. After refilling the coolant, start the engine and check for any leaks in the pipes. It is recommended to wear protective gloves during operation as the coolant is corrosive. The entire replacement process is relatively simple and can be completed in about twenty minutes if you are skilled.
