how to remove a thermostat from a '99 VS super charged v6

[pjdm1980]

How do you remove a thermostat from a 1999 supercharged v6 statesman i think i have to take the super charger off becuase there is no way to get to the thermostat housing (IT'S AT THE BACK OFF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD) and the inlet pipe(GOES STRAIGHT OVER THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING) from the throttle body has three bolts i have two off but there is one at the bottom and it's right against the fire wall???????

I'm stumped!

If my memory serves me right I did a how to for this, was for a VY but the same engine and all.

It should be in the how to section.

Any idea on when that was i've searched your posts and threads and looked in how to and found nothing?
Thanks Pat

Done mine about three weeks ago ,all you need to remove is the TB,vac line ,bolts on the boost activator and swivel it back
Its pretty easy ,but the hardest part was getting at the gaskets surfaces to clean them ,I will pm you another forum adress that specialises only in the l67, not sure if allowed to post it on here anymore

Forgot to mention but make sure you have the rubber ring for the thermostat,the right gasket (its not uncommon to get given the wrong one by a shop) and most importantly
bleed the system afterwards ,this is even more importantant on the L67 than the ecotech
