How to Replace the Thermostat on a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Thermostat

To replace the thermostat on a Fiat Panda, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine block. The thermostat is connected to a pipe located on the side of the engine, next to the battery: once the pipe's retaining ring has been unscrewed, you can remove it and loosen the bolts securing the thermostat in its housing. The part can then be freed and replaced with a new one; after the thermostat has been inserted, reconnect the pipe.
