The thermostat valve replacement must be done when the engine is cold as you will come into contact with the coolant. The valve is located beneath the power steering pump: to replace it, you must remove the pump itself; during this operation, it is advisable to also remove the left front wheel and the corresponding wheel arch; once the power steering pump is removed, it is very easy to access the fixing bolts of the thermostat valve: before unscrewing the bolts, disconnect the hoses and allow the coolant to drain out; then complete the installation of the new valve by reversing the steps.
