Hyundai Genesis: Cooling System / Thermostat Repair procedures

Removal and Installation

Removal of the thermostat will have an adverse effect, leading to lowered cooling efficiency. Do not remove the thermostat, even if the engine tends to overheat.

1.	Disconnect the battery "-" terminal from the trunk room.

2.	Drain engine coolant so its level is below thermostat. (Refer to Cooling System - "Coolant")

3.	Remove the water inlet pipe. (Refer to Cooling System - "Water Temperature Control Assembly")

4.	Remove the coolant inlet fitting (A). Tightening torque : 7.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

5.	Remove the thermostat (A). Install the thermostat with the jiggle valve facing upward.

6.	To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Inspection

1.	Immerse the thermostat in water and gradually heat the water.
