Changing the thermostat valve on a Fiat Panda? Let's see how to remove it from the engine bay. Open the front bonnet, locate the parts to be removed. To remove the thermostat, you need to take off the metal plate above it using a socket spanner (disconnect the battery terminals).

Once the bolts are undone, detach the metal plate. Disconnect the pipe under the radiator and drain it. Unscrew the screws on the side of the pipe and extract the thermostat valve.

Fit a new thermostat valve, secure the pipe. Refit the metal plate and tighten the screws (connect the power to the battery).

Close the front bonnet. Test the vehicle's proper functioning with the ignition.
