C5 V6 thermostat location?

Post by Quackers »

Can anybody tell me where the thermostat is for the cooling system for a 2001 C5 3.0 V6? or where the sensor is?

It seems to be overheating had water steaming and pouring out of the cap on the headertank and dripping down into the wheel arch :( . It did in the winter do a little trick of going to max temperature for a short while when very cold (false reading), and i have seen other posts saying the sensor connector might be a little corroded so want to just check that first.

Thanks for the diagrams, turned out to be the seal in the radiator cap in the end, cheap easy fix :-D
