Change the thermostat ??

Hi,
now, that it's getting colder i have the follwing problem: The engine temp stays low even if i drive 10 or 15 km.
So i think it could be a problem with the thermostat (that controls the coolant flow - through the radiator or just within the engine).

Has anyone an idee how to change it - or at least where it is located ??

Thank you in advance

PS: sorry for my bad English ;-)

its probalby located behind the upper radiator hose going into the engine. i dont know for certain beacuse i havnet changed it yet, but get a haynes manual, itll b the best $14 you invested in your car. symptoms are consistent with a thermostat stuck open.
