If you open the hood and look at the front of the engine you should see two radiator hose converging into a black plastic piece that on either side seems to be bent slightly down. This is the thermostat housing. To replace your thermostat with no issues you must first put something under your car to catch radiator fluid. Then disconnect the hoses from either side of the housing( this is where the catch can comes in handy). Now remove the 4 or 5 10mm bolts holding the thermostat hosing on. Once removed the thermostat will be on your left. Be sure to also replace the rubber gasket as the housing will not seal correctly if not replaced.
