Chrysler Repair: thermostat for 2.7L engine, chrysler concorde, 2000 chrysler concorde


Question
where is the location of the thermostat in my 2000 chrysler concorde/ 2.7 v-6

Answer
Hi Eddie,
The best way to find the thermostat is to follow the lower radiator hose back to the engine where it ties into the thermostat housing.
You have to remove the accessory drive belt for the generator, then lift the vehicle to work from underneath, then remove the generator bolts and set it aside. Then remove the hoses from the housing. Then remove the housing and the thermostat.
Clean the sealing surface. Install thermostat with bleed hole at 12:00 oclock position. Install housing and tighten bolts to 105 inch-pounds (about 9 foot-pounds).
