Just to update the thread the Mobile Mechanic arrived at lunchtime did the job in around 1.5 hours without touching the alternator and I paid £90 labour so quite happy with that Fingers crossed its all sorted now thanks for everyones input :)

Hi Steve thanks for the reply mate it's a 2013 2.0 TDI avant Black edition Quattro B8.5 i'm not very clued up on Audi so not sure what the ultra is ? I was advised due to my symptoms it would be the main thermostat at fault and pictured below is what Audi gave me yesterday I have had a few labour quotes one of £130 and the other £80-£90 he said the alternator would nee to be removed to do the job ? I haven't heard of that before on what ive since read when replacing the thermostat ? Any ideas before I respond to them Thank you

Hey everyone hope you are well just a quick question regarding the thermostat on my 2.0TDI 2013 I picked up a new thermostat and housing from Audi yesterday along with 5l of coolant, is this a job that I can do on the drive at home or would it be best to take it into a garage to get replaced ? Don't want to get myself into trouble and get stuck if its a horrible job to do Thank you

Thank you Gareth i am very grateful 👍

Hello everyone I purchased my 2014 B8.5 Black edition 2.0TDI avant Quattro back in may and looking at the Audi service history its showing the fuel filter was last replaced in January 2022, I am now looking to change the fuel filter this week but I can't find the correct part number would anyone happen to know the correct one for my car please ? I Believe its 8T0127401A but just wanted to confirm thank you
