2005 2.0 TFSI QUATTRO Thermostat replacement

[waj786]

I've have recently brought an A3 2.0T FSI quattro and believe I may have a sticky thermostat as the temperature seems to drop to 1/4 from half way when driving at 50 mph plus at  long periods.

I initially brought a replacement complete  thermostat housing (see below)

 

However my mechanic has informed me this was incorrect as mine has around 5/6 outlets and the more "common" one I am seeing online only has 3. Can anyone advise on where to purchase the correct one?

I thought it was that but was told that is number part is not listed for any of the 2.0 TFSI models...

Does anyone know the location of the thermostat on a quattro  TFSI model?... After abit of homework it turns out the more common thermostat as per my initial post also doesn't fit the S3. All I can see for the S3 on eBay are stand alone thermostats without the housing..which I assume should fit mine since its a TFSI quattro..if that makes sense!?
