[godsANGER]

Oks i ve finally desided to sort my Thermostat out as it doesn't go to 90 on the clocks, where is the placement of the Thermostat on the AGR and what do i need to replace it, as is the Thermostat the same across the range i ve seen the guide but its for a 1.8t so would it be in the same place.

2000 Mk4 Golf TDi SE [AGR90]

i have one . . . . somewhere lol been looking for it for about a week now i think its in my mates old Audi 80 but may be in his house or at work or in my house lol i use it a lot as the golf has lots of problems well did use it a lot lol like my phone did last week it well find it self 

regarding the Thermostat which i need to replace is there a generic Thermostat across the golf range ? part wise i am guessing i need G++ and Thermostat anything else.
