94 Vti-R running cool (not in a good way)

yeah i was wonderin the same thing but i just thought it was normal

thanks for answerin my q's and i didn't even have to ask

are the thermos avaliable from repco etc original honda ones?
do you guys know how much labour would cost to get it replaced?

you can't get oem honda ones from repco, they sell their own brand one which will work just fine and is much cheaper.

many people will say the honda one is better, which it probably is, but i doubt you will have your car another 10 years from the time you change your thermostat.

i don't know how much labour it will cost to get it replaced but it is very easy to do yourself. there are a few DIY articles floating around on the internet on how to replace it.

has anyones themostat failed on them?

non-oem one?

if so did it fail in the same way the honda one does?

whats the longs any1's had the replace ment for?

i think when the do your fuel pump... the don't use original ones... and they change ur thermo too...

so maybe some1's had this done agez ago

ok went repco and it was 35 for the thermo & 19 for the gasket..
autobarn was 19 and they didn't have any in stock... and the gasket wasn't listed so they didn't have any even tho the guy said it goes for about 3 bux.

Also called up Josh Sady Car parts and the honda oem thermo & gasket is $56

Can anyone tell me if its necessary to drain the cooling system before changing the thermostat ... or can I get by with doing it full and topping up afterwards?

Cheers

you dont need to drain the entire coolant, make sure you top it up with the same coolant and bleed the cooling system.
but make sure you change the coolant if its thrashed or been in there for more than 20000 kms

Hi guys
newbie poster here.

I just recently got myself a 96 integra, and i think i'm having the same problem with my thermostat.
There's probably a number of you who got it fixed at a mechanic. Can anyone tell me how much they got it done for? Parts + labour?

If you got it from a yard it should be covered under the statutory warranty i would think (at least mine was, unless its very different in NSW from WA).

Does anyone know the Part numbers From honda

And ppl that got it done at Honda how much alltogether ???
thanks

i got quoted $200-$250 from Honda... i only called Trivett and Ricky D's and that's what they quoted me.
Hanny's said they'd do it for $60

yeah my DC2 sits on 1\4 and never moves at long as its not ova heating i guess

Just to make sure. How do u tell if there is a problem with the car???
