check that the cooling fans are operating, anyways, replacing the thermo is easy. yank the thermo out, its only a few bucks for the thermostat and gasket plus some coolant. make sure the cooling system is bled, after reinstalling the thermostat, put the heater on full with the fan off, and top off the coolant. dont put the cap on until the fans pop on, thats when you know its bled. if the fans dont pop on, prolly got a problem with em.
