Temp Issue figgered out

[Steve]

I am curious as to why the thermostat was twice the price of any other car I have ever bought one for.

I looked at it before putting it in and didn't notice any exotic metals studded with diamonds and rubies so I am still mystified.

I do like the O-ring setup that didn't require me to goop anything and wait for it to set.

I don't think it's really all that often compared to anything else I work on. I can't tell you the last time I've had to replace one for failing. I do replace them with TB's, but I've had to do the one in the 351C (E-150 Ford) at least once every 80k, so that's about the same overall.

So tell me,  why do Audi thermostats fail so often? (At least in my opinion)
Compared to the thermostats in my many Dodge vans?
