Opel Astra H: replacing the thermostat including instructions and note

In the Opel Astra H, the coolant thermostat has been concealed below the intake manifold. 

 

Proceed as follows to remove it:

  • Disconnect the battery (potentially write down the radio code before you disconnect the battery)
  • Remove the battery and battery bracket (Fig. 1)
  • Remove the hose and lid from the thermostat housing

 

You can now see the thermostat (Fig. 2) and replace it. 

Tip

The coolant temperature sensor has been installed to the left of the thermostat. Pay particular attention to the short coolant hose behind it. In some cases, it has been damaged, thus causing a leak that is hard to find.
