Any video tutorials on this? Sounds more of a professional job, i thought it was as simple as removing the hose at bottom and release junk from inside, the running hose through radiator to clean the radiator, then release again, then filling up with engine coolant,

That's why I said post #24.

That's not expensive yet. Wait until some thing actually needs fixing.

at least you have good people on here giving you the correct advice and if you do it yourself and do it properly then you will gain experience and confidence.

just have a look at the parts on your car formalize yourself with the job to do.

shouldn't cost too much if all you have to buy is thermostat and gasket and coolant.

only have 2 bolts to undo on the thermostat cover,clean both sides of where the new gasket goes.
take out the thermostat is easy it just pulls out.make sure you remember the way it comes out and put the new one back in the same angle.

Most of that would be labour (an hour min) , it's not a 5 min jon

Most radiator shops will charge 100-120 to do it but it sometimes it's peace of mind knowing it's done properly and nothing missed that may cause bigger issues and more expense later on
