Thermostat - Advice on changing

[RichN]

Anybody changed the thermostat on their Mk3 Cupra?

99% sure mine's stuck open and it's a cheap part, so I could use some advice on location & replacement procedure.

Any pointers?

look under the inlet manifold, there is a coolant pipe going into the fornt of the block, via a plastic case, its in there, can be a pig to get too

Thanks for your pointer. I got the part for £9 ish from GSF and paid a garage £30 all in for fitting today - saves me buying a flexible driver and taking an hour out this Sunday anyway!

Cheers.
