where is and how do i change the thermostat on an m reg vw transporter thanks

Hi
The thermostat sits in a small plastic housing bolted to the right hand side of the engine block (opposite end from the timing belt cover). the other way to find it is follow the top radiator hose from the radiator down to the first branch, then follow the branch pipe back to the cylinder head, the small housing it attaches to is the thermostat housing.
best of luck
