I'm doing the thermostat tomorrow.  Not sure on condition of coolant so also renewing that with proper VW G12++ stuff (correct mix with DI water).

All in its about £35 with new coolant and a split knuckle or two   :wink:

if anyones interested. i got a garage to do it in the end, the guide looked abit to technical for my machanical knowledge, cost my just just over 100 notes (2hours labour they say), think iv been rip off!  :rolleyes: nice present for pay day. oh well its works properly now, up to tempeture quickly!





shafted!! as topher said could have took it to him would have been 200 :grin: :grin: i would say no where near 100 if toph did it  :laugh: failing that i would have got the oem stat some g12 and done it myself  cost=parts only  :wink:
