The PT Cruiser thermostat is easy to replace. If your car is overheating but you have plenty of coolant then this might be your problem. To change the thermostat all you have to do is unbolt the radiator fill cap and you have fast access. It is not the easiest thermostat to get to but it isnt bad. It could also be due to a bad head gasket which is what happened to mine.

    Hi Chris!

    I enjoy your videos! Thank you.

    I have a Mazda Tribute 2005. Is it okay if I can run without thermostat?

    The weather here in the Pacific is always warm.
