How to Replace the Thermostat on the Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Thermostat

To replace the thermostat on the Ford Fiesta, you need to access the underside of the car to reach the pulleys around which the alternator belt is arranged. Here, loosen the central bolts to reduce the tension on the belt and remove it completely. After removing the belt, you can unscrew the bolts securing the alternator and remove it as well. The thermostat will be located underneath, which can now be pulled from its housing and replaced with a new one. After replacement, reassemble all previously removed components.
