Thermostat location

The thermostat on this engine is located at the lower hose, not the upper like some vehicles

replace it, cheap part. after that to check the water pump, wait for the engine to be hot and then hold the upper radiator hose, if pressure builds up and you feel and hear water rush past it it is good.

See the diagrams below for location of the thermostat

Hello, I live in Cd. Juarez, Chih., Mexico, I have a Lincoln 1995 and I want to change the thermostat but I can not find it, could you please let me know where is the thermostat??

The motor is a 4.6 front wheel drive

It's inside the housing shown in the picture.

Dear Wrenchtech,

Thanks a lot for your prompt response, I appreciate it, I have another question, this is for the linconln continental? Because mi car do not have this kind of housing, or the thermostate is below of the motor? Attached is a picture of the lincoln continental motor. Please let me know. Thanks again and apologies for the inconvenience.

That picture was for your exact car and engine. It's in there.

It's not in there it's on the front of the engine behind and slightly above the A/C compressor on the front of the engine where the bottom hose goes to the engine

And that's exactly what the original picture is showing.

Where is the location of the thermostat? Is it in the front of the car near the bottom because thats the only place I saw that looked like at thermostat location but the thermostat would be mounted perpendicular position of the hoses.

Thanks for the help

I found this prior posting from 2carpros master tech rasmataz: "Near the alternator up front of the engine it really always help to look at the new part before you install helps to locate it. From the driver's side at the bottom of the radiator the hose runs across to the passenger side of the car. it turns up into a housing with a secondary smaller hose coming out the side of the housing. If you remove the 2 bolts holding this housing together you will find the thermostat inside with an O ring seal that has to be replaced in the right position when you reinstall the new thermostat." And I am also adding this picture:

Good luck,

You are right hardtime72, thermostat is below of the motor, next to A/C... Thanks a lot for all your comments, now I have another question for this same Lincoln Continental 95, as you may know this car have a suspension system controlled by compressor, you know what kind of dampers I will need to replace the original suspension system in order to use oil or gas dampers? Most of the local mechanics told me that they need to review with different kind of dampers due is necessary verify the stretch/compression to put the correct damper model, could you please help me with this detail?? I want to replace this system controlled by compressor because since I buy my car this system is out of service due a missed or damaged parts and I think that will be very cheap replace the dampers instead to fix the original suspension.

You would need to start a new question for that problem.

Where is the thermostat located? How hard or easy is it to replace?

Try checking below

where is the thermostat located in a lincoln continental

when you stand in front of your car you see the radiator, on the right hand side you see that big black hose that is connected to the radiator and then goes to the engine and the end has that hose clamp, take of the 2 bolts and your thermostat is there, just be sure to drain you antifreeze first and take off the hose clamp.
