Replying to: kclady38 (Oct 26, 2007 5:19 pm) IF YOUR HEATER IS WORKING THEN THE THERMOSTAT IS WORKING, MY 97 HAS 2 FANS AND I LIVE IN TEXAS AND IN THE SUMMER IT STILL DOESN'T READ HALF WAY, IF THE HEATER IS WORKING AND THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IF IT WAS STUCK OPEN IT WOULDN'T HEAT ENOUGH TO HAVE HEAT. AND DO IT YOURSELF.

Replying to: irvinman (Jan 30, 2007 8:09 am) Yes that small rubber seal is correct, though color will probably vary by company that produces and sells it. The neon uses recessed seals on alot of the parts instead of the traditional compression gaskets. While this does not make them all reusable, it also makes them easier to replace if need be. I haven't had to replace anything but the head gasket on my first neon because some idiot silicone the hell out of it, but the others were reusable. Check the store's return policy. If they'll let you return it if it's not opened, get it and pull your thermostat. Check the seal to see if there's any place where it's cracked or squashed more then the rest of the gasket. If there is damage to the gasket, replace it. If not, take the new one back and keep looking for the leak.

ive got a few questions here. i have a 2004 dodge neon sxt. it all started with my radiator breaking and all the transmission fluid ran through the motor, so i had the radiator changed and the transmission and the engine flushed by a mechanic. i brought the car home, and now when the car runs for a short while it overheats, and i no longer have any heat, could this be the result of a faulty thermostat, and when i change it do i need to drain the radiator fluids or not can someone please help me out with an answer as soon as possible because i want to get this problem taken care of soon thank you
