SOURCE: : where is the thermostat located on a 2002 buick

For 2002 Buick Century 3.1L SFI OHV 6cyl



Fig. The thermostat on this 3.1L is mounted horizontally and uses an offset housing/water outlet

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Partially drain the cooling system into a suitable container, to a level below the thermostat.
3. It is usually possible to leave the radiator hose attached and simply remove the thermostat housing (also called a water outlet) and flex the radiator hose enough to service the thermostat. It is good practice, however, to remove the radiator hose so the thermostat housing can be given a thorough cleaning. Debris on the thermostat housing sealing surface can cause leaks.
4. Some applications may have electrical connections to sensors which mount in the thermostat housing. Use care when detaching these connectors.
5. Unfasten the thermostat housing bolts and remove the housing.
6. Remove the thermostat by simply pulling out. Discard the gasket.
   

1. Clean all parts well. Make sure the sealing surfaces on both the thermostat housing gasket flange and the intake manifold are clean and free of corrosion damage. It is good practice to run a thread cutting tap or a clean bolt into the threaded holes in the manifold to clean out old sealer and dirt. The threads should be clean so the thermostat cover clamps the gasket evenly at assembly.
2. Position the thermostat in the intake manifold. Make sure it is seated.
3. Position a new gasket over the thermostat. If no gasket is used, apply a 0.125 in. (3mm) bead of RTV sealer to the thermostat housing and install the housing. Lightly lubricate the bolts with clean engine oil. Torque to 18-20 ft. lbs. (23-27 Nm).
4. If removed, attach the radiator hose to the thermostat housing.
5. Refill the engine with the proper mix of DEX-COOL®and water. Connect the negative battery cable, start the engine and check for leaks.

SOURCE: need unlock code for 2003 buick century car radio

You will need to take the car to a dealership to have the service department unlock the radio for you. They have a special code to unlock the radio and then you are required to change the code to one that you will remember. An appointment should not be needed because this takes about 5 minutes. I do not remember the code, sorry.

SOURCE: how do o remove the radio from my 2002 buick century?

There is a single screw located inside the glove box (on the left side) that needs to be removed. Then just carefully pull out the plastic dash as it is only secured by pushpins. Then remove the 2 screws holding the radio, and unplug the antenna and wiring harness, and it's out.

Some are in the inlet to the evaporator and some could be in the condenser line. You can get a new orifice tube on autozone for $5 - 20
