cluosborne Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi, I have a 2001 RX300 awd (not 2wd), and I recently changed the thermostat, but realized that the air bleed hole needs to be aligned in order for the thermostat to open and coolant to circulate. What position does the thermostat need to be aligned in (in regard to the bleed hole)? Is an OEM part the only recommended option or would an aftermarket part work just as well?

No mentioning of alignment in the shop manual. What makes you believe that the coolant is not circulating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
