I have a 98 Seat Ibiza 1.4 8v and would like to double check where the thermostat is located. Its on the right hand side of the engine. I can see where the coolant temp sensor goes. Is it in the pipe that goes next to this.

Wasnt expecting this to be an easy job due to access but talk about a performance... First mistake... Stripping the airbox / MAF / etc off the side of the engine and removing the CTS housing to realise the thermostat is in fact on the front of the engine... I should have checked the manual...
