How to change thermostat in 06 turbo pt cruiser?

[sittinpretty]

I need to change out my thermostat on my 06 2.4L Turbo. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Is there a schematic or diagram online somewhere I couldn't locate one.

Thanks

Here's the diagram from the Haynes manual. While giving instruction on the replacement of the thermostat, there's only two lines that are different for the turbo models. They are:

10. Disconnect the air conditioning suction (low side) line support bracket from the thermostat housing stud.

11. Disconnect the support bracket and position it off to one side.

Sorry, but I'm not about to type the other 18 lines of instructions. You can buy a Haynes or Chilton manual for around $20. Very helpful if your going to do your own work.

Thank you I was able to do it no problem. Crazy dealership wanted $150 to do what I did in 15 minutes.

Thanks again.

You changed a thermostat in 15 minutes? It took me longer than that to drain the coolant.

Yes, it was actually very easy. I didn't have to disconnect half the things it listed in the book. It just slide right out. I was shocked! Yet extremely happy.
I did flush the radiator as well of course as you said to took longer for that. I am just happy I was working on my mother in law's PT cruiser and not my BMW or else it would have taken a lot longer

You changed a thermostat in just a few minutes? I guess your an expert..
