I have a 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier that needs a new thermostat. I can't believe where it is located. You need to remove the exhaust system in order to access the thermostat. Has anyone else dealt with this headache? The dealer wants a minimum of 4 hrs in their GM shop and a hefty $250 or better to replace this damn little $8 part. Should I attempt this on my own? Has anyone else done one of these? If so, how? Are there any short-cuts other than removing the exhaust system?
Did I mention I have recently flushed the coolant and the radiator fans are working just fine. We're talking about a car with 110,000 miles and dealing with the thermostat that came with it from the factory
