  Q: How to install the thermostat on Toyota Venza?

  A:

  A new gasket should be applied to the thermostat but only after verifying the jiggle valve faces ceiling-ward while still within a ten degree range beside its original location. After putting the water inlet into place with its two nuts apply 10 Nm torque force (102 kgf-cm, 7ft-lbf). Install the No. 2 radiator hose after which you should install the generator assembly and fasten the wire harness clamp bracket in place. The technician must now take on the task of V-ribbed belt installation. Disconnecting the negative battery terminal cable demands caution because some automobile systems need system initialization before reapplication. Engine coolant should be added then a check of coolant leaks needs to be performed. The technician should start by installing the cool air intake duct seal followed by fabrication of the No. 1 engine under cover, No. 2 engine under cover, and finishing with the No. 1 engine cover sub-assembly.

  Q: How to remove the thermostat on Toyota Venza?

  A:

  The first step to remove the thermostat involves disconnecting the negative battery cable but some systems might require initialization post-reconnection. The technician starts by removing the No. 1 engine cover sub-assembly followed by cool air intake duct seal and both the No. 1 engine under cover and No. 2 engine under cover. Pull out all engine coolant before eliminating the V-ribbed belt from the system. Disconnect the wire harness clamp bracket followed by removal of the generator assembly. Start by taking off the No. 2 radiator hose after which you remove the water inlet by unfastening its 2 nuts and extracting the water inlet itself. To complete the task remove the thermostat together with its gasket.
