    Changing The Thermostat

    Hi, I replaced my stat on a 1.8T in about 25mins, first time.

Tools required are a ratchet drive, 2 x long extensions, a...

    I'm learning, but.....

    Hi, Thanks for the info. I've been out in the car today and i think the statement 'carries the speed well' is the case. The car is so quiet you don't realise how quick it is accelerating. I think my thermostat problem of it being stuck open changed today, the needle rose to 90 deg but then moved...
