Hello,

Locating the thermostat is simple, just follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine. The thermostat is located inside the housing, where the hose attaches with a clamp.
Simply remove the housing to access the thermostat.

It is important to only work on the cooling system when the engine is cool.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached diagrams of replacement procedure for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
