- 2005 VZ SV6
I seem to be having thermostat troubles (seems to be sticking or operating intermittently) and have purchased a new thermostat and housing.
I have been told that to replace the thermostat in my 2005 SV6 I need to remove the gearbox to get at it.
This seems like a lot of work to replace a simple part, particularly when it is so easy to get at in other vehicles.
Is this the case?
If it is the case, should I try to reverse flush with a hose as it may be be something stuck which is effecting the operation of the thermostat.
