How do you replace the thermostat of the Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Thermostat

The thermostat replacement on the Audi A3 is done by opening the hood, in order to have access to the components located inside the engine compartment: on the right side of it, the alternator can be located, which will need to be removed in order to have better access to the underlying components. The tube for the coolant passage will need to be disconnected by widening its corresponding fastening ring. At this point, the thermostat can be extracted from its housing, so that a new one can be inserted; after installation, all the previously removed components can be reassembled.
