Daewoo Chevrolet Forums and Owners Club

Hi again everyone this may help or it may not

i posted a thread asking which way around the matiz thermostat is supposed to go most owners would expect it to fit only one way! right?

wrong

I have noticed that the service manual indicates that the thermostat wax pin end should be facing out of the main housing on the engine block or facing the top hose that leads to the radiator. Ive noticed that mine is the other way around which tells me that they can actually be put in wrong.

Maybe just maybe this may contribute to alot of threads where owners have suffered the cold/warm air coming from the heater core indicating the heater core is blocked when actually the thermostat could have been put in wrong by someone previous.

Top job Its now a Sticky

Nice one MatiZ'z'z'z'z.

just to update evryone on the thermostat issue!

I put a new thermostat in (the correct way around) even though the old one was ok a new one looked nice lol, anyway my matiz heater is now blowing some lovely heat i dont get funny stares anymore when i was wareing my ski gloves and 3 coats previously.

so the moral of the story is if your not gettin heat check your stats facing the right way instead of trying to blast out your heater core yeeeeehaaaaa

I noticed yesterday that my heaters don't work, do you think this could be related?
