How to replace a thermostat in a cooling system on Chevrolet Metro?

The first check to make if the cooling system has failed is the coolant level, drive belt tension and temperature gauge operation before blaming the thermostat. Replace with a new one if it seems like a long time for the engine to warm up. To ascertain whether an engine is running hot, try feeling its upper radiator hose with your hand. A scenario where the engine is not very hot but neither is the hose means that usually its thermostat has become stuck; hence, preventing coolant within from escaping into the radiator. Make sure you replace it! However, be advised: Never drive without a thermostat in your car. This may cause the computer to remain in open loop thereby affecting emission and fuel economy.
