Volvo Repair: Volvo 960 over heat problem, volvo 960, heat problem


Question
Hello, And thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide. Recently I had assistance replacing the radiator in my 1997 965 wagon. Now it really over heats when I turn the A/C on. As in "it pegs on the red line" of temp gauge. The helper told me he would come around and put in a new thermostat, if I got it. I did. He's not answered my calls since. Question! Can you please tell me how to install the new thermostat? I'm, well at least back in the day ( late 60's ) fairly handy with basic wrenches and such, so I'll try, w/your assistance, to replace the thermostat.Thanks for helping, Regards, Stonie
