Hi all,

Does anyone happen to know if when replacing the thermostat on a 2012 8PA TDi you just replace the thermostat itself or do you have to buy the whole plastic housing aswell?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Hello Michael,

Not sure on your particular engine, but believe the thermostat comes with the housing from Audi. Personally I would not fit an aftermarket one. 

Contacting your local dealer will confirm and give you a price. I have bought genuine VAG parts at discount from Audi Parts Direct at Cardiff ( part of Mon Motors). Might we worth a ring once you know the retail price - they do mail order. Could also try TPS for a comparison price. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
