      Be sure you get the correct parts. I was given a thermostat only and the wrong one from the auto store. For the 2008 aveo i had to replace the assembly as one unit with the thermostat seated in the center. A simple fix turned into broken parts so beware double check what you buy. We stripped the casing then almost had to rethread it. A bolt snapped after taking it apart multiple times from being given the incorrect thermostat and bolts. Save yourself the headaches be careful.
