Follow the lower radiator hose to the water pump assembly. Where the hose connnects to the water pump there are two bolts that attach a housing to the pump. Unbolt that and there's the thermostat.

Thermostat 044 121 113
Seal 038 121 119 B

tighten bolts to 10 Nm (7 ft-lbs)

No but you'll have to drop the PS to get to it.
