How hard is it to change???

I just did mine. Two 10mm bolts. One of mine was blocked by the part of the hose clamp that you grab with pliers to open it, so I was forced to use an open end wrench which made the job a bit of a pain.

The themostat is under the bottleneck on the right side of the engine towards the back.

Did you fix your problem??

It seems so. I am still smelling antifreeze, but it could be from spillage. I have to wash down my engine when it cools off. I filled the resevoir up, and some of it went down so I marked the spot and am monitoring it. See my other thread for more details.

I saw your other thread. I was just wondering if the thermostat was the problem or not. Guess we'll wait and see.........

So far so good. Level seems to be staying the same. Glad I was able to avoid the dealer, but I do still have to bring it back soon.

Front rotors need to be cut (again), I am quite certain that I have figured out why my T/C keeps going out and sending an errant MAP sensor code (I had the code the other day, and I know it is a mistake since I replaced the MAP sensor a few months ago). Last year I was in an accident where the other car hit my right rear wheel. The sensor is probably bad. Also, my turn signals dont shut off after I make a turn.

My thermostat was stuck, took my HHR to a dealer with 38,925 miles and Gm authorized the repair for free... Even a free loaner car..
