Thermostat Replacement - Toyota Camry V6 (2GR-FE)

This video will show you step-by-step how to replace a defective thermostat on Toyota&V6 2GR-FE engine. This engine is used in the Camry, Avalon, Highlander, Sienna, RAV4, Venza, Lexus ES350 and RX350. The customer had noted that his temperature gauge was showing a cooler than normal reading indicating that the thermostat was opening too much thereby not restricting coolant flow to reach optimum engine temperatures. Symptoms of a defective thermostat allowing the engine to run cool would be poor fuel economy and black smoke. The car&PCM (power train control module) will attempt to compensate by enriching the air/fuel mixture where unburned fuel will escape out the exhaust pipe as black smoke.
