I think it's on the end of the lower coolant hose on the engine. Trace your lower coolant hose from the bottom of the radiator to the block, and look for a metal l-shaped fitting. I believe that's where it is. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

luxcrusr2000 is correct, it's on the end of your lower coolant hose. Remove the clamp on the hose, remove the water inlet fitting, the pull the thermostat out.

There's a rubber ring on the new thermostat... be extra careful not to get any oil on it, and make sure it doesn't bend or fold over when you're putting it in.

I would guess that the original poster posted it in the 9G forums on accident(since he says it's a 2000, which obviously isn't a 9G) and a moderator moved it to the correct forum.

On some php-based message boards like this one, moving a thread leaves behind a link to the new location, so people don't panic and repost when they can't find the thread they started in the wrong forum.

If it says "moved: [topic]", you're seeing the link to the new location of the topic, not the actual topic itself.
