• Q: How to service the thermostat on 2005 Toyota Echo?

  A: The first task for servicing the thermostat is to drain the engine coolant from the system. The service operation involves disconnecting the water inlet from the cylinder block by removing its 2 nuts then disconnecting the wire harness clamp from the water inlet to remove the thermostat and its gasket. Install the new gasket on the thermostat before positioning it upward with its jiggle valve in a 10 degrees range according to specifications. Fasten the water inlet with its 2 nuts before connecting the wire harness to the water inlet and torquing it to 9.0 Nm (90 kgf-cm, 80 inch lbs.). Complete the system with engine coolant before starting the engine to check for coolant leakages.
