Stuck thermostat?

[saleen836]

Mrs Saleen's E46 330 has decided to play up, hardly any heat is given from the heater even after a 20 mile drive and the temperature guage hardly moves!. On the odd occasion, if the car is turned off and then restarted after a couple of minutes the temp guage will rise and the heater will blow warm/hot air.
Would I be correct in thinking the thermostat is sticking open? If so how awkward a job is it to replace?

It does sould like your thermostat is sticking open. its an easy job, no special tools required, nothing to go wrong.
Thermostat and housing come as one part approx £50

I had to do this on my 330 a few weeks back. If you have the viscous fan it will need to come out with the cowling.
