Thermostat change

[che2318]

Is there thermostat easy to change, a case of twist out and twist in the new one or is it bolted in?


Doing another coolant flush and change and this time i want to change the thermostat but not sure where the bugger is and how to get it out.

Got everything ready to go tommoro morning.

On the 2.4 it's at the front right hand side it's the housing the top radiator hose is fastened to.

Show off. Mine took me an hour and no small amount of cursing, I seem to recall the highest bolt on the housing being a b*gger to reach. I kept electrocuting myself on the alternator too. I'm good with cars see .
