List,

I've noticed lately that my car has been getting hot in stop and go
traffic. It get to about an 1/8 inch from red line. This is without
running the a/c. I know the both fans are working because I can hear them kick in, plus I had them looked at while haveing some a/c work done three weeks ago. In Northern VA we had temps in the high 40s this morning,
while driving to work the car would not get warm, let alone hot, the gauge
registered just above the very bottom. I turned on the heat and only got
cool air.
Searching this site I determined the first thing I should do is replace the
thermostat?
My Questions:
It looks as if there are only two bolts holding this
in where the hose meets the engine. I've replaced plenty of thermo's
on domestic trucks, same concept here? Spring part goes towards engine,
and new gasket?
I noticed a device inline on the hose between the radiator and the where the hose goes into the top of the engine. What is that?
Any other helpful tips would be great.
Tom..
