- Drain the coolant into a container, by opening the drain tap, or if that is not present, loosening the lower radiator hose.
- Remove upper and lower radiator hoses, and the reservoir hose from the filler neck
- Disconnect the wiring connector to the fan motor
- Remove the cruise control actuator cover if necessary to gain more space
- unbolt the fan shroud from the radiator and remove the fan and shroud
- on an auto, remove the trans cooler lines from the bottom of the radiator, and plug the lines
- unbolt the radiator and lift it out. Take care not to lose the rubber insulators on the radiator mounts. Clean with compressed air.
- install in reverse, taking care the rubber mount insulators are in place. Unless they are very new, take this opportunity to replace both radiator hoses. Refill the radiator.
- Test drive for a short distance and top up, if needed, the radiator, and auto trans if fitted. Red low silicate antifreeze additive is recommended for these engines. Do not mix red and green types.
The age of your vehicle guarantee's a vacuum leak. It may sound silly but the truth is rubber grommets and hose's shrink and dry out over time and the harsh environment under the hood makes it worse. Check all vacuum lines and fittings attached to the intake manifold, valve covers(pcv valve), and be sure to check for a vacuum fitting on top of the intake just behind the throttle body. Does it fit tight in the hole? You can seal loose fittings with a high-temp RTV (Red) silicone sealant/adhesive. Several small leaks add up and your engine, heat/AC, will be all to glad to tell you about it.
the thermostat is in the housing where the top radiator hose goes onto the motor,remove the top radiator hose undo the bolts on the thermostat housing,be careful not to break them off as the may be corroded take the housing apart remove the thermostat clean both the surfaces of the housing using a suitable scraper or sand paper fit the new thermostat fit new gasket put the housing back together put in bolts DO NOT over tighten replace top hose fill radiator with water start engine & let warm up & check for leaks.....hope this helps......cheers
REMOVE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER HOSE ON THE INTAKE.BUY A SMALL PIECE OF THE SAME HOSE TO POWER BRAKE BOOSTER.PUT IN ON POWER BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PORT AND BUY A REDUCER SO YOUR VACUUM GAUGE HOSE WILL FIT.THEN CRANK CAR UP CHECK ENGINE VACUUM.
You have to remove the timing belt, the valve cover and the camshafts to replace them. You can just replace the shims on top of the tappets just by removing the valve cover and compressing the valve springs.
I'm not sure exactly where it is but they are always on one of the valve covers. it is shaped like an "L" and will have one vacuum hose connected to it and it inserts into a rubber grommet on the valve cover.
Hi nanadevi,
There are two rubbers fitted to each of the caliper pistons.The outer one is a dust cover and the inner is the seal.... i you've removed the inner, you'll have to refit very carefully, not causing any damage....Lubricate with rubber grease and open the bleed nipple....push it in gently....The dust cover fits over the caliper housing and tapers outwards to fit the piston....
