Yes it can be replaced, if it is of the replaceable type. If you are in doubt about how to do it, perhaps you should have it done by a Plumbing professional.

How do you diagnose overheating problems on a eclipse?

First thing you should check is the antifreeze level. If that is fine, replace the thermostat. If it still over heats after the thermostat, then most likely you need to replace the waterpump. If your antifreeze is low, check for leaks, the radiator, hoses, heater core, and water pump. If the water pump is leaking, that is your problem, replace that and thermostat all in one.


How do you know when to replace the thermostat?

Why does the heater in your 1994 Chevy Cavalier only blow out cold air?

The heater core is plugged. The thermostat is stuck closed. Antifreeze/coolant level is low. The water pump is not working properly. Check the cheapest things first. Check fluid levels. See if the fluid is circulating well. If okay, replace thermostat. If still cold replace heater core.
