Hi all,

We own a Q5 as above, I need to change the coolant thermostat, could anyone advise me on its location? Is it behind the alternator?

Hi Gareth 

We have a 2.0 Q5 auto that also idles too high just below 900 rpm which makes it a bit juddery when parking, also it doesn't get to temperature it runs about 72 degrees C. Would you suggest that the thermostat is at fault for both symptoms.
