go to the filler neck. 3 10mm bolts are holding it in place. If something's in your way so that you can't get to any of the bolts, move it. Pull out old thermostat. Put in new one. It can be held in place with silicone sealant. Installation is in reverse.

Anywhere from 85C on the low side to 110C on the high depending on ambient temps and driving style. If you are getting above 110C then it is probably a good idea to turn the heat on full blast to cool off a bit.

According to what measuring device? With the PFC, I noticed that it was always reading higher than my defi h20 gauge. But pretty much, what tom93R1 said...

If you have a PFC, fans come on at 100 and 105 FYI..
