uhmm and if the new thermostat doesnt fit in one way.
it should have a little needle bit on the metal plate of the thermostat.
thats suppose to be the internal bleeder. i think.
but yeah make sure that faces up. or "top".

Would it be ok to drive for the time being till I get time to do it on the weekend?
> I am changing the thermo because the needle rarely moves off 'C' and vtec is not coming on sometimes.
I'm not sure a colder thermo will achieve anything for you.
> but also remember to put the temp slide to HOT
Like Ben said, the water through the interior heater bypasses the thermostat, try driving with the heater ON (and the windows open if you must) to see if anything happens before you drop cash on the thermo.
I think you're better off blocking half the radiator and just being conscious to keep one eye on the temps.
I used to do this on a old Kingsood with more than a few faults and it worked a charm in winter.

Im not changing it to an aftermarket thermo..im buying a new replacement from honda this afternoon. Hopefully they have stock.
I had the heater on this morning and nothing changed...
