You can't see it because its underneath the Plenum.

Its hard to describe but level with the front of the Cam Covers, and about centre of them both.... If that makes any sense...
Haven't you got a member of the forum close to ya who could help??

Yep there a lot of undoing to get to the thermostat. But apart from that its easy enough to do.

Off with the plenum etc and down between the two heads ( the valley) next to the oil cooler on the V6.

Hope this helps

every garage tells me different.

the symptoms

In traffic (idle) the temperature goes through the roof 100 + to red. The fans do kick in but not until touching red

this morning went into red light came on. no fans kicked in. Bad smell of oil a smoke from bonnet.

I have purchased a thermostat i though wasn't bad at £24 but looks like either a heat sensor or a fan switch.

Haven't checked through fuse box for all just not had the time (demanding children - hubby)

Not the thermostat.

Could be temp switch but not convinced.

Check radiator is hot all over as blocked rad is a possibility.

Also possible water pump failure.
