Mitsubishi Repair/Thermostat

Question
Where is the thermostat in a mitsubishi magna 1999 th 3.5L ???

Answer
Shannon,
The Magna was not a vehicle in the US, so I'm not familiar with the engine layout.  But a general rule of thumb for locating the thermostat on most any car is to follow the large upper radiator hose from the radiator back to the engine.  Where the hose ends near the engine should be where the thermostat housing is.  The thermostat is located inside the housing.  You may need to remove some covers or other components if they are located over the radiator hose and/or housing.
Good luck!

Expertise

I have been working with (and driving) a first generation Mitsubishi Eclipse for several years. Anything that could go wrong with an Eclipse has probably happened on mine. Fortunately, I have gained a lot of knowledge from experience in repairing these problems myself.

Experience

Identifying and repairing problems in mechanical and electrical areas. Plus, I have learned many ways to enhance performance to the incredible engine Mitsubishi put in their early model Turbos.
