Replacing the Thermostat on a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Thermostat

If you need to replace the thermostat on your Panda, refer to the instructions below and the video. Open the bonnet and locate the coils on the right side of the engine that you need to remove to access the thermostat. Once the coils are removed, unscrew the support plate underneath. Below the plate, you will find the coolant pipe that you need to detach to access the thermostat, allowing you to unscrew it after draining all the coolant. Extract the thermostat and replace it with a new one, then reassemble all the components.
