FAQs
What vehicles is the First Line FTK118 Thermostat Kit compatible with?
This kit is compatible with Renault Clio and Nissan Primera models. It is always best to confirm your specific vehicle's compatibility.
How often should a thermostat be replaced?
Thermostats are typically replaced as needed when they fail or during major cooling system maintenance, such as when replacing a water pump or coolant hoses. There isn't a set mileage interval for replacement, but inspection is recommended if you experience temperature regulation issues.
Can I install the thermostat myself?
While possible for individuals with automotive mechanical experience, thermostat replacement involves draining coolant and working within the engine's cooling system. If you are not experienced, professional installation is recommended to avoid potential damage or leaks.
What are the signs of a failing thermostat?
Common signs include the engine temperature gauge reading too low or too high, inconsistent temperature readings, overheating, or a lack of heat from the cabin heater.
What type of coolant should I use with this thermostat?
Always use the coolant type specified in your Renault Clio or Nissan Primera owner's manual. Using the incorrect coolant can damage the cooling system components.
Does this kit include a gasket?
Typically, thermostat kits include the necessary gasket for installation. Please refer to the product packaging or description for exact contents.
Troubleshooting
Engine not reaching optimal temperature (runs too cool)
The thermostat may be stuck open. Replace the thermostat kit.
Engine overheating
The thermostat may be stuck closed or the cooling system has other issues. Check coolant levels and flow. Replace the thermostat if suspected faulty.
Coolant leaks around thermostat housing
Ensure the thermostat housing bolts are properly torqued and the gasket is correctly seated and undamaged. Replace the gasket or housing if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This Thermostat Kit is specifically designed for Renault Clio and Nissan Primera models. Always verify your vehicle's specific requirements before purchasing.
Setup: Installation of a thermostat typically requires draining the cooling system, removing the old thermostat housing, replacing the thermostat and gasket, and refilling the system with the correct coolant type. Due to the technical nature of this procedure, it is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic or automotive professional.
Care: The thermostat itself is a sealed unit and does not require regular user maintenance. However, regular checks of your vehicle's coolant level and condition are essential. Flush and replace the coolant according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals to ensure the thermostat and surrounding cooling system components operate efficiently and to prevent premature wear or failure.
