Engine not warming up properly - Estima Aeras 2.4L Petrol Auto

[bryanwaddd]

I have an Estima Aeras 2.4L Petrol Automatic and the engine is not warming up to the correct running temperature. I'm assuming it's a thermostat issue but unfortunately I have no info as to where it is and I can't locate it.

Could anyone help me out please?

Many thanks

Follow the top hose from the rad..you'll find it.

In the meantime you could stick some cardboard sheet in front of the rad to limit airflow.?

Thanks, I'll take another look.
 

Re the cardboard - good idea, so old school but effective, thanks 🙂

nice and simple, as above follow the top hose to the left front of the engine (90º elbow/housing), 2 nuts and the elbow comes off
