I was wondering if anyone knew the size of the socket required to remove the housing cover it looks to be an external torx or star type. Thanks!

I don't have my car anymore to look at it, but if it looks like an external torx, it will probably require a 12 point metric socket somewhere between 10mm and 15mm.
So I'm not able to locate a thermostat except at the dealer and they want to sell only the entire housing...anyone know where to purchase just the thermostat?
Be careful, yes is e-torx , when i have my car wuth me i tell you the points...
The thermostat housing was made from bakelite, and is expensive, about 240.00 usd aprox, mine is broken for a thermal change...
how many miles have your car?...
The housing don't comes with the thermostat the part number is diferent, but it becomes whit a temperature sensor, that, and the material makeit expensive...Quote:

I have ab 73,000 miles my wife complained of it running hot I'm guessing the thermostat is sticking. I have found the cap housing at dealerships and price ranges from 80-120 dollars. Napa can order one for 40 but I'm not sure if that's cap housing or thermostat? Can yu remove the thermostat? I'm pretty fed up with this korean engine!!!!!!!
what year is yours?...Quote:

It says Daewoo under the hood and ecotec on the engine
Then you machine is not Korean is European, Ecotec 1.6L is ....
I can buy the pure hard thermostat without the lid, at least in Mexico is complicated to get the parts, because the engine only came here two years and only one model, the Pontiac G3, so all parts are expensive agency. ..
Changing the thermostat cover is cheaper than changing the entire housing of bakelite, that is part if the temperature gets too high, but still are not bad engines, there are machines that are broken with these heated ...
Yeah I don't know a lot about the ecotec engine, I know it is a "GM" engine though. ^from his response, sounds like it is european. The older aveo's had the daewoo engine, not the ecotec engine.
Well idk what it is then lol. I do know that it says ecotec but on the underside of the hood it says daewooQuote:
