SOURCE: No Heat

hi this sounds like the elec operated coolant control valve has failed? common fault on ford models however to confirm this? if you warm engine to normal then turn temp setting to full hot do not put fan on yet! locate the heater hoses from engine to point they go into bulkhead of engine bay? feel each hose for heat ? if one is warm/hot and other much cooler/cold ? then cooler valve is not opening so coolant can flow thro heater matrix inside car understand?? unfortunate;y this valve is not servicable but is easy to change and not too expensive ? its location is normally at point prior to entering car interior and you will find it if you follow heater hoses? it may well be in bay below the grill below w/screen is normally plastic renewal will be apparent when you see it ? hope this helps ? just one point all above is on assumption you have checked radiator coolant level is topped up ?? if not this will also give no heat thro heater ? if very low

SOURCE: Do I need to bleed the system after replacing the radiator cap?

Definitely recommended - Process is fairly simple, let the vehicle idle and/or reach normal operating temperature - turn the"bleed screw" slightly open and note as the air bubbles escapes from the screw. Also make sure the radiator is topped up with sufficient coolant. Funny enough, the mechanic should have taken care of this process after replacing the thermostat....

Replaceing brake pads 2006 hyundia sonata
Changing the brake pads on a vehicle with calipers if very easy in comparison to drum brake. You, unless you have the strength will need a tool to compress the caliper piston to make room for the new pads to fit over the caliper. After that it is a matter of two bolts to put the caliper back on and bleed the brakes.

Engine Diagrams
Hello. Here a non-photo diagram. Hope this helps!!!

The thermostat is located on the side of the water pump, the water pump is located just above the a/c compressor, the thermostat is fed coolant from the radiators lower radiator hose.
Thermostat :
1. drain coolant and tighten drain plug ( easier method : remove radiator cap, get big drain pan, place drain pan under lower radiator hose to radiator connection, remove clamp, slowly remove hose, allow coolant to drain into pan, now is a good time to remove radiator hose and clamp from thermostat housing )
2. remove thermostat cover / cap ( easiest to get at this when front of car is supported by jack stands and right hand side lower cover is removed ).
3. thermostat cap is held on by 3 bolts / remove thermostat.

You will notice that the thermostat's air bleed hole is pointing up and lines up with notch in water pump housing,,

ATTENTION :failure to install new thermostat in the correct location will cause engine to overheat.

1. install new thermostat to water pump, make sure air bleed hole lines up with notch, install and tighten bolts, install a new lower radiator hose, fill cooling system.

thermostat # 17670-77E00
lower radiator hose #17854-65G20
hose clamp #09401-36403
upper radiator hose # 17852-65G20

2006 HYUNDAI Sonata I figured I'd bleed the the rear brakes after replacing the rotors and pads. 120,000 Miles with no previous brake issues besides normal replacement of front rotors and pads. After...
Try re-bleeding ALL wheels starting with furthest away - pass rear, then driv rear, then pass front and driv front. That should get your pedal back. To reset light you need ABS reset tool and it's EXPENSIVE. Have a good competent shop reset it for you. Body shops can reset them also.

What is the proper postion of the thermostat in a 1996 dodge avenger> Does it matter in which position the thermostat is postioned
Yes it matters. The bleed valve must piont straight up. If it is not in the correct position, the cooling system will get an air pocket and cause overheating. (See diagram)dttech_19.gif

Where is the thermostat located on a 1991 nissan sentra
Thermostat REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CAUTION
When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old. E-Series Engines NOTE: The engine thermostat is housed in the water outlet casting on the cylinder head.
  1. Open the draincock on the radiator and drain the coolant into a suitable drain pan.
  2. Remove the upper radiator hose from the water outlet side and remove the bolts securing the water outlet to the cylinder head.
  3. On E16 models, remove the exhaust air induction tube clamp bolts, then the water outlet bolts.
  4. Remove the water outlet and thermostat. To install:
  5. Clean off the old gasket from the mating surfaces with a razor blade or equivalent.
  6. When installing the thermostat, be sure to install a new gasket and be sure the air bleed hole in the thermostat is facing the left side (or upward) of the engine and that the spring is toward the inside of the engine. Also make sure that the new thermostat to be installed is equipped with an air bleed hole.
CA16DE, CA18DE and GA16i Engines Fig. 1: Always make certain the jiggle valve is facing upward when installing the thermostat 88163g33.gif
  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable and drain the coolant from the radiator and the left side draincocks on the cylinder block.
  2. On GA16i engines, disconnect the water temperature switch connector from the thermostat housing.
  3. Remove the radiator hose from the water outlet side and remove the bolts securing the water outlet to the cylinder head.
  4. Remove the thermostat and clean off the old gasket or sealant from the mating surfaces. To install:
  5. Install the thermostat with a new gasket. When installing the thermostat, be sure to install a new gasket or sealant and be sure the air bleed hole in the thermostat is facing the left side or upward on the engine. The jiggle valve must always face up. Also make sure the new thermostat to be installed is equipped with an a ir bleed hole. Some thermostats have the word TOP stamped next to the jiggle valve. Again, the word TOP and the jiggle valve must be facing up. NOTE: When using RTV sealant instead of gaskets, make sure the surface you are working on is very clean before applying the sealant, then apply an even bead. Allow the RTV to dry slightly to form a thin skin. The component MUST be tightened before the RTV dries completely. The bolt torque should be checked again after RTV has completely dried.
  6. Install the water outlet and upper radiator hose.
  7. On GA16i engines, connect the water temperature switch connector to the thermostat housing.
  8. Fill the cooling system and connect the negative (-) battery cable.
  9. Bleed the cooling system as outlined in this section.
1.6L (GA16DE) and 2.0L (SR20DE) Engines Fig. 2: Thermostat and housing — SR20DE engine 88163g34.gif
Fig. 3: Thermostat and housing — GA16DE engine 88163g35.gif
Fig. 4: Always make certain the jiggle valve is on the top side — GA16DE engine shown 88163g36.gif NOTE: The thermostat is housed in the water outlet casting on the cylinder head on most models. On the GA16DE engines, the thermostat is housed in the water outlet casting attached to the water pump.
  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
  2. When cool, open the draincock on the radiator and drain the coolant into a suitable drain pan.
  3. Remove the upper radiator hose from the water outlet side and remove the bolts securing the water outlet to the cylinder head and any other components in the way.
  4. Remove the water outlet and thermostat. To install:
  5. Clean off the old gasket from the mating surfaces of the thermostat housing and engine block. NOTE: When using RTV sealant instead of gaskets, make sure the surface you are working on is very clean before applying the sealant, then apply an even bead. Allow the RTV to dry slightly to form a thin skin. The component MUST be tightened before the RTV dries completely. The bolt torque should be checked again after RTV has completely dried.
  6. When installing the thermostat, be sure to install a new gasket and be sure the air bleed hole in the thermostat is facing upward and that the spring is toward the inside of the engine.
  7. Install the water outlet and tighten the bolts.
    • GA16DE — 13–16 ft. lbs. (18–22 Nm)
    • SR20DE — 60–72 inch lbs. (6–8 Nm)
  8. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of removal. prev.gif next.gif

I need to replace the master cylinder 07 sonata 3.3
Well, you unbolt the old one and bolt in the new one, and connect the hoses, but I presume that the following will be the most helpful detail:

BENCH BLEED the new master cylinder (m/c) before installing it. They sell a little bleed kit at the auto parts store, which has hoses that screw into the brake line connections on the m/c, then they turn back and go UNDER the fluid level within the m/c, pump until no bubbles.

Then leave the hoses on during install of m/c. Pump pedal again, check for no air...then un do one hose at a time and hook in brake line.

This works, anything else is VERY frustrating, if ever successful. It all has to do with getting out the air.

a Hyundai Service Center (dealership), pay the diagnostic fee. They will tell you EXACTLY what the problem is and what's needed to fix it (parts, labor, tax, time-frame, etc.). This way you will find out which parts, if any, you need to fix it - perhaps fix it yourself.
