thermostat ?

Who has pics of the thermostat housing removed and the bolts that have to be removed. I have searched many cooling threads and can't find adequate info on which bolts and how to remove without removing belts and alts. please post if you got pics thanks. FD owner trying to do it myself.

p.s. - does anybody know which tech/shop manual to get. best info and diagrams?

3 - 10mm bolts, unplug your coolant sensor, no belt removal. I've done this in a parking lot in 15 minutes.

The FSM (aka. Workshop Manual) is pretty much the only manual for this car. There are no others.

The operation is fairly simple.

Good luck,

Its REALLY easy.. the thermostat is right behind the filler neck.. All of the bolts that need to be removed are painfully obvious..
