The thermostat is buried underneath to the left of the front exhaust manifold, if you see the top of the lower hose, that's the thermostat housing. Pretty sure the book calls for removal of manifold to change thermostat. Back bolt is a real issue. These cars have zero space, hence the heat soaking. This motor has its own serpentine belt removal tool designed for it, although it can be done without it(search YouTube). Everything you do in this engine compartment you will lose skin over.Originally Posted by bocoogto
