The thermostat in the 2008 Chevy Malibu with the 3.6-liter is in the engine compartment. If You look at the point where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine, You'll find it there. There should be a few bolts and a rubber gasket keeping it in place. There are a few telltale symptoms of a failing thermostat. First, the engine overheating is the most common sign. If the thermostat won't open, coolant can't reach the engine. You may also notice a coolant leak. If the thermostat stays shut, the coolant will overflow and leak from the housing. This can also result in leakage from the coolant hoses. Cabin temperature change, bad heater, and rumbling sounds can also be symptoms of a failing one. Having the thermostat replaced in the 2008 Malibu will generally run You between $240 and $280, including labor.
