Self-replacement of the thermostat on a Hyundai Accent (secrets and tricks).
Good afternoon.
The topic of today's article is replacing the Hyundai Accent thermostat. Traditionally for our site, the article contains photo and video materials and is written in simple language. The accent thermostat is located at the front of the engine:
The following signs indicate problems with the thermostat:
1. The antifreeze level has dropped significantly - in most cases this is due to the thermostat sticking in the closed position or a breakdown of the gasket 2. After starting, the engine takes a very long time to warm up. 3. If the engine overheats severely, it is necessary to check the temperature of the radiator inlet hose. If it is cold, then the thermostat is not doing its job and is not allowing coolant to flow to the radiator. 4. In addition, you can check the thermostat by lowering it into water, which gradually warms up. The valve opening temperature should be in the range of 78-80 degrees. After removing the unit from the water and cooling it, the valve should close. Otherwise, the thermostat must be replaced.
To replace the thermostat you will need:
1. The thermostat itself. (25500 22600)
2. Thermostat housing gasket.
3. It may be necessary to gasket the expansion tank cap because it will crack over time.
Step-by-step algorithm for replacing the thermostat:
1. We drive the car onto an overpass or inspection hole and secure it. 2. Drain the coolant into a prepared container; if the fluid is old, it is better to replace it. 3. Loosen the fastening clamp and disconnect the radiator pipe. 4. Unscrew the fastening bolts and carefully remove the thermostat cover, it is sometimes made of plastic and tends to break, especially in the cold (I was shocked when I saw plastic in this unit, we have a classic metal cover in the photo). 5. Remove the old thermostat. 6. We carefully inspect it in order to understand the cause of the breakdown; if it is not possible to visually determine the malfunction, you can conduct an experiment with heating in boiling water. If the unit is not working, we replace it with a new one, which is also better to “weld”. 7. Thoroughly clean the thermostat seat. 8. Install a new thermostat with a gasket in the seat. It is important here to ensure that the thermostat does not become misaligned. 9. Reinstall the casing and secure it with bolts. 10. Connect the radiator pipe and secure it with a clamp. 11. Fill with antifreeze and check the functionality of the new thermostat.
How to “weld” a thermostat:
We strongly do not recommend replacing the thermostat on a hot engine as it is not safe, antifreeze causes burns, and its vapors are toxic. If you understand that you cannot cope with the replacement yourself, it is better to contact the specialists.
That's all for me today. I hope that after reading the article, replacing the thermostat on a Hyundai Accent will not cause any difficulties. If you have any questions or have any comments after reading the article, please leave a comment.

Hyundai Accent › Logbook › Replacing pipes, antifreeze and thermostat Huyndai Accent
Good day to all. After you’ve done something yourself and done it well, you want to share it with someone. There is a lot of information on this topic on the drive, even when I changed it myself I read one of the articles here. Let's get down to business. It was a hot summer day, I came from the forest and parked next to the house, confused by the loud noise of the cooling fans, reached under the hood and was struck by the lack of fluid in the expansion tank. I tried the pipes and there was no liquid there; upon closer examination and pressing on each of them (pipes), I discovered the reason - a small hole in the pipe from the pump. Since it’s difficult to get to it, and a new thermostat has been waiting in the wings since winter, I decided to change all 3 pipes (upper, lower, pumps) and the thermostat. And after buying the car, I drove 20 thousand, it was time to change the antifreeze, and then it leaked so successfully
