Changing an Audi thermostat

[grober]

A little video on changing a water pump/thermostat/ timing belt on a V6 Audi.
Another reason to buy a MERC perhaps ? I tried not to look but --Aaaaaaargh!!!!!

Looked simple enough to me - and all in just over 6 minutes. Shouldn't cost more than a few quid...LOL

In all seriousness that is one of the reasons I went from BMW to Mercedes and skipped Audi. They use a plethora of different parts for the same model of car that are slightly different and not interchangeable. My boss was back at the dealer 3 times until he got the correct headlamp for an A6. It cost him over £250 whereas a complicated twin lamp job for my 5 series (with switchable Left & Right hand drive) was £56 back in the day.

It's almost guaranteed that the phone would ring several times whilst doing that job.
