The thermostat is inside the engine and cannot be visually inspected. It is located at the end of the upper radiator hose that is not connected to the radiator; it is under the bulb-shaped metal housing found on the engine block.

The thermostat must be replaced if it does not open or close properly, or sticks. If the engine fails to warm up properly or overheats easily, the thermostat should be tested and possibly replaced.
