coolant is about a 1/4 above the low line in the overflow jug..im sure it could use more..but im think less fluid would cause it to run hotter?? howver with this car...............
where is the thermosat located on this car anyways?

Just unbolt those 2 bolts in the thermostat housing, located on the place John99rs stated. Just go to an auto parts store and give them make and model, also, dont forget to get a gasket for it. Coolant is gonna flush out when you take out the housing, just make sure the floor is covered. Easy fix, took me less than 2 minutes.
