    I need to replace the thermostat on my 1995 Honda Civic LX. I've looked at
    the engine and their are two possible places for it. One is at the engine
    end of the lower radiator hose, where the thermoswitch is. The other place
    is at the engine end of the upper radiator hose. Both have housings that can
    be removed with a few bolts, I'm just not sure which one it is. Sorry for
    the newbie question, I've only changed a t-stat once before on a VW.

    It's at the engine end of the lower rad hose. Look more carefully; it's
    there.

    Here's a diagram to make things clearer:

    Try the free online manual for 1995-1997 Civics at
    http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/workshopmanuals2.html . It should have some
    drawings that help.

    My 91 Civic's is at the engine's back (that is, between the engine and
    firewall), connecting to the lower radiator hose. It's a bit tricky to get
    at, but it can be done in a morning, based on my experience last summer. It
    will go faster the next time.

    I removed the air intake duct (between the air filter and PGM-FI cover)
    among other things to get to it.

    Yep, that's it - and many thanks for the diagram. Naturally, it was the
    harder of the two to remove :)
