C5 V6 thermostat location?
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 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
