Changing engine thermostat on 2001 V40

Post by anordheim »

My car also has the Check engine light on. I had a friend run his diagnostic tool on it and it came back with that the coolant thermostat is faulty. It looks to me that the thermostat on this car is located on the very top and should be easy to change. Can someone confirm??????

Quite straightforward, a little more to remove if you have the Turbo model.
