Audi 4000CS Quattro Thermostat

[fritz@mermaid.micro.umn.edu (fredric zimmerman)]

        Could someone tell me where this beast is located and how hard
        it is to replace? My temp gauge barely moves when on the highway
        here in New England and I suspect that the thermostat is dying.




	I believe what you are asking for is the thermostat.  Which is located
on the engine block close to the radiator.  I replaced mine last summer.
If you follow the hose that goes from the radiator to the engine block
you will see an aluminum houseing about the size of a golf ball.  This `
houses your thermostat.  There are two bolts that hold the housing to the
block.  It is not to difficult to do.  However, make sure you use a factory
replacement part.  I`ve heard of otheres going bad in a few months.  Also 
drain the fluid when you start.  If you don't you will end up draining it 
any way.  

		Hope this helps......
