hey i have the 89 2.0 wheres the thermo im running hot and im thinking it may have failed but i cant find the thing, haynes is full of shit

I didn't know that they put 2.0's in the Cavalier. I thought it was only 2.2's. Anyways on my 2.0 it is right under the rad cap with a metal handle you grab and she comes right out. Easiest thermostat i've ever changed! :wink:

yours is a 2.0 ohc mine ohv so they are different but would the thermo be in the same place, i didnt see mine under the rad cap maybe im just crazy

Follow your upper rad hose which is the one on the drivers side of the engine and see where it goes to the housing on the side of the cylinder head :wink:

ahh cool i have to replace that stupid hose anyway, do you know if i can just get a hose from pep boys or whatever or do i need a gm hose cuz of the little kinks and crap it has?

 

[whitetiger]

The part is probably available everywhere, with the proper kinks in it already! :wink:

I know the local aftermarket stores around here have the rad hoses. Make sure you know the bends properly. They may sell you one that looks close but won't fit.

cool im sure they are available here ive only went once to buy hoses and they didnt have any spefic ones, so just had to check!
