$300 including thermostat, water pump + all belts. DIY Youll save about $700 after all is said and done. It worth it, just takes up about a whole day.

$800 from my local mechanic which included water pump etc.

My dealership quoted me $1,000.

So needless to say, its quite an expensive job if you use audi parts.
