How to remove the damaged thermostat from a Panda? Remove the soundproofing panel from the engine (air filter), then take out the ignition coils on the right side of the engine. Unscrew the securing screws above the base, pull out the sealing cap, and extract the coolant thermostat from its housing.

Once the part is removed, replace it with a new one, close the designated compartment with the cap, and tighten the securing bolts with all its parts. Ensure that the thermostat valve is correctly inserted and mounted in the appropriate housing, and top up with new coolant.

Refit the previously removed parts.
