Patrol21- I have a Pathfinder 2002 with a similar problem. Can you share with me if you fix your pathfinder, how did you proceed, and some hints you could provide to me. I will appreciated your help on this matter.New to the forum....have a quick question. I have a 2000 pathfinder and have a leak in the Thermo choke Element (throttle body) which I have ordered and should receive in the next few days. Looks fairly straight forward to replace but any inside tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hi I am copying you the information I just send to Patrol21; the recommendation of both of you will be of value to me to replace the thermo unit.I would think it would be straight forward as well, I've never done one though. and yes I would think there would be a gasket or o-ring.
Thank you for your answer. Just two additional questions: The only thing that I have is the cooland leak, do I need to replace the Thermal element kit, or I could kust change the o-ring. And second, do I need to add any additive to avoid future leaks, or the thermal unit seal by it self? Thank you again for your support.it comes with a o-ring on it, just make sure you get it installed before it expands or it becomes a headach....
