★ Top Answer
In the 2008 Chevy Malibu with the 3.6-liter engine, you can locate the thermostat in the engine compartment where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine. It is held in place by a few bolts and a rubber gasket. When a thermostat is failing, common symptoms include engine overheating due to coolant not reaching the engine if the thermostat fails to open, coolant leaks that can cause overheating and lead to leaks from the housing and coolant hoses, and changes in cabin temperature, poor heater performance, and unusual sounds. Replacing the thermostat in the 2008 Malibu typically costs between $240 and $280, which includes labor.
