Changing a Thermostat on a Mk1 Audi TT 1.8t - Part 9 

The suggestion to pull the oil tube and alternator cable was super helpful! I had the same idea to come in from the front but was really struggling eith the bottom bolt

Perfecto, me ha servido de gran ayuda. Thanks so much my friend.

It's much easier to loosen the generator. Then you have direct access to the thermostat housing.

Thank you, fantastic information and explanation cheers mate

It was very helpfull. Big thanks for that

👏 bro😊

Very informative, thank you

It’s a lot easier changing the thermostat on the 924! Well done, nice video. You always seem to work outside, and not in a garage?

I have had my TT for 21 years - never had many problems and I always did my own work - but I never knew about the secret menu until today. How is that possible? I have had the Haynes manual for several years but never used it much. I tried the secret menu trick and even though my TT is USA spec the engine temperature showed up as Centigrade. My temperature guage only has tick marks and the temperature guage has not worked well for a couple of years. When I entered menu code 49, the engine temperature stayed the same for awhile and as the temperature rose, the temp guage began to raise also which it had not been doing for some time. The menu temp got up to 82,83 and then dropped suddenly to below 50 degrees as I imagine the thermostat opened. The menu temp raised and lowered a couple of times cycling between 43 and 88 and then one time it got to 95. So, I have some things to look at including my fans that I do not remember running for some years. Where do I find the codes for the secret menu? My plastic pieces have those little plastic push in pieces and I like your metal ones with what looked like inserts. Where do I get those metal pices to easily remove and replace the plastic engins covers.

Hi ! thanks for the video! I got a 2001 TT quattro convertible. Anything else that would make sense to do while you are there ?

Belle vidéo l amis 👍👍

Nice video, congratulation... Very interresting

yep...i took my alternator out..didnt have the patience haha

How have you checked and removed any possible air bubbles in the system? Isn't that important?

HI well done, I have an issue to start the engine when it gets hot won't start, it needs to cool down to start, have idea what can be ?

Hi thanks for your video... My cars going in to the red then settles and jumps back in to red.... The water is never boiling... Could that be the a troubled thermostat

Mines 100% failed, it gets to 90, then drops to about 75 and almost a full tank has only lasted me just over a weak and my exhaust is very black.

What is the parts number thanks !!

No... we didnt see it happen to you. What happened to the removal and instal? Was that a an edit clitch?
