Need to change the stat. Would normally do the job myself but a severe arthritic flare up prevents detailed finger work ATM. A local indie has quoted £220 using Audi parts. Suggesting 1.5hrs work. Seems a bit steep to me.
Thoughts?

Sound expensive to me but have you priced up the Audi parts on there own yet?

Hi Simon that is way too much and 1.5 hours work for a garage with the correct tools and experience is a joke.
I ordered mine from my local Skoda dealer, numbers below:

£19.39 + VAT - Thermostat 032 121 110 B
£10.78 + VAT - Thermostat Cover 032 121 121 K
£8.65 + VAT - 1.5 litres G13 Coolant

All the best ... Tom
