2010 Q5 2.0 TDI CAHA thermostat change.

[Ade Taplin]

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?

Hello Aide,

Sorry, I cant help you on your engine, but yes, it is behind the alternator on our humble 1.6 A3. 

It will probably help to get the part first - take it you are buying a genuine one rather than an aftermarket. Audi may come with the housing, so that will aid finding its location. Audi Parts Direct at Cardiff should be able to supply with some discount, and mail order. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
