I just want to say thank to the person that provided this thread. For 3 years I froze during winter on my drive to work. Now the car heats up in 5 minutes of driving. :happy2:

Sorry for reviving an old thread, buuut I was thinking... there is a metal clip holding the two parts together, and ELSA suggests to open the housing to test the thermostat, so it's not impossible. What if, instead of working with those spring clamps, we just separate the two halves, while still in the car, and just change the core and the o-ring from the new stat? Did anyone try this way or does anyone know if it wouldn't work? I think I might try this when I do mines.

Ditto and thanks for the guide. For some reason my car had the main thermostat removed but now I have one, it gets to temp but takes a while. I'll get the inline one done soon :)

Hi, Does anyone know for sure if a 2007 Edition 30 MANUAL has an inline thermostat?
I was under the impression it was just below the metal pipe returning from the turbo, which is directly behind the radiator in the middle. Just above where the oil filter is. The schematic they gave me at the dealers showed it there, but when I got home I just have a rubber hose, no thermostat in there to change...
