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.
Sorry GM, the Turbo Sonic was priced too close to the Focus ST. I gots me a Ford.
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?
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...Originally Posted by Allenwood
the thermostat comes only with the cap housing, and costs about 85.00 USD...
check it...

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?...
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?...
It's a 2009
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 ...
Don't the 2009's have the GM ecotec engine? I may be wrong....but I thought the later aveo's didn't have the foreign engine...
