Does anybody have a comprehensive guide on how to replace the thermostat sensor and not the ECT sensor. I know the thermostat sensors aren't a common problem to happen but I got it plugged in and the probable cause was the ECT sensor, Thermostat sensor. I replaced the ECT sensor and got the garage to clear the fault, replaced the sensor two days ago and the EML has come back on. Is the thermostat likely to be the issue not the water pump impeller? Thank you for any help.

Thank you and I may well need that guide to replace the thermostat but is there one just for the sensor? I used that guide for the ECT sensor and worked wonders for someone of my knowledge and capabilities!

I don't think the thermostat has a sensor. The coolant temp sensor is the only one the engine uses and if the thermostat is playing up the engine picks it up from the cts.
Replace the stat and cts and that should fix your problems.

That just proves my lack of knowledge haha! Okay, looks like I'm going to have to replace the thermostat! Thanks for the guide link and the advice! Much appreciated! Will it hurt the car much to drive it like this for a few days?
