I don't have a picture, but look beside the heat shield you will see a rubber heater hose on the firewall near the battery, there is a metal cable coming out of the firewall attached to the mixing valve. When you turn the temp dial from cold to hot it opens and closes the mixing valve. Have someone turn the temp dial and see if that valve is moving via the cable.

If the car temp is getting up to 3 bars (and not going over/under after being warmed up) then the thermostat is fine. They either stick closed (overheating car) or stick open (car never gets to correct temp, usually this is the one that happens) but if he's at 3 bars on the temp, thermostat is good.
anyway OP funny how I had a simliar problem, the whole time I thought it was my coolant sensor and it was my thermastat
