To replace the thermostat on a Citroën C3, open the bonnet and access the engine compartment. The thermostat is located behind the air filter, so you will need to remove this part by unscrewing the fixing bolts.

Once the air filter has been removed from its housing under the windscreen, position a container under the car and loosen the two screws that secure the thermostat at the rear of the engine block. When the old thermostat has been removed, you can replace it with a new one.
