[QUOTE="ezianevo, post: 1063550618, member: 47672"] Ok guys. Let me share the result. Who knows it might be useful to you one day. :proud: Managed to install the new thermostat yesterday. Successfully removed and replaced the thermostat without open up the alternator but it required a lot of patience, skill and time too!! Almost 3 hours to change the thermostat only. Here is the thermostat location. Underneath the alternator. Why toyota put that thing there eh? :hmpf: [IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ve2_epZIR6U/Td44tI2uyTI/AAAAAAAAAI8/YMEMKjjV-QE/s400/250520111424.jpg[/IMG] Below is my old thermostat. No any defect was found!!! But the design slightly differences compare to new thermostat that i bought from Toyota. :hmmmm: [IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-q5K2ZOE6lXY/Td44ZWYBmVI/AAAAAAAAAIw/2OkgVX9hvtI/s400/250520111427.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PVRvOUANShU/Td44gUIFBdI/AAAAAAAAAI0/MRKdqooIXKo/s400/250520111428.jpg[/IMG] Unfortunately, my radiator connector was broken during fill up the coolant due to kaput (brittle) and the top coolant hose cannot connected to the radiator!!! :mad: So pull out the radiator and send to radiator workshop to fabricate the connector and they charged me RM100. WT@!!! So no choice just send it. :argh: Then waiting another 5 hours for that stupid thing. [IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gjAYJuUaSAQ/Td44CzBrurI/AAAAAAAAAIk/oa0hk0Fgtdc/s400/250520111429.jpg[/IMG] Result?? Alhamdulillah :top::top::top: 1. My car reach ideal temp within 5-7 minutes previously was 15-30 minutes. 2. No more white smoke during cold start-up. 3. No more unburn fuel smell from exhaust. 4. Gear (auto) very2 responsive compare previous which very "lazy" to change the gear. 5. Absolutely feel more torque!! I just can't believe how big the impact of defective thermostat. 6. I earn more mileage!! Last time one bar can reach for 12-16km only now it can reach 24km per bar!! :love: Hence, I would really2 recommend to change the thermostat if you got the symptom as mine. Err....am I too excited?? :dancing2: HAHA [/QUOTE]
