A - i bought my quattro for 2k
b - FAQ or DIY will have thermostat procedures and this will up the value of the car and you might as well change the timing belt and water pump with it.

I'm having a hard time changing my thermostat, I spent two hours trying to change but it almost seems impossible. Any tips? I got the drive belt off and can't get to the timing belt.

You Probably need to put the radiator in the service position. It's pretty easy check the DIYs

Make damn sure you know what you're doing before you mess with a timing belt. Do you know how to properly index the V6 before removing the belt? Did you know you need to? Do you know how and that you need to burp the cooling system? I'm asking straight up since a few guys in the recent past have just gone and taken everything apart without knowing WTF they were doing and created a lot more work than they'd otherwise have to do.

Where are you located?

Ya I'm in Murray, and I already read about the timing belt and all. I just can't get to the thermostat housing. I think they are allen bolts. I can get one out but I just can't get the other one off. I work on my car about two to three hours a day just trying to get that bolt. ): each day, still no luck. I even took out my radiator, number, AC pump, and AC fan out just for more room and still nothing. I've tried and tried and I keep getting more pissed and pissed. Can anyone text me and possibly help me over the phone?? Or know anyone in Murray UT? 801-448-9366
