Can you elaborate on your problem? The thermostat is a mechanical component so the ecu would not flag up an exact fault only ones relating to it i.e its very rare for a fault to come up saying "thermostat faulty" , its more likely to throw up fuelling faults and temp sensor faults before hand because it'll be either running hot or cold.

I think thats the fault code that flags up temp sendor and on Rosstec site says could be thermostat or temp sensor?
