Where is the thermostat in a 2000 Ford Focus?

Where is the thermostat located on a 2000 Ford Focus zx3?

  • Answer:

    There's an octopus of hoses on the right (driver's) side of the motor near the battery. The nexus of all those hoses is the thermostat housing (also called the water outlet) which has a nasty habit of cracking internally and letting water flow past the gasket. The thermostat is also a commonly replaced part. I recommend a low-temp "tuner" thermostat that will open fifteen degrees cooler than stock to keep your motor cooler longer and give you a quarter BHP boost.
