Hi Derek, i have a 2011 S4 3.0TSFI and it happen to be losing coolant every time i drive out a few kilometres, strangely the car have no physical leaks around the engine but i noticed a bit of steam on the exhaust when idling. What do you think can be the problem? Is it a thermostat fail? A coolant pipe leak? A supercharger coolant leak? Or top gasket leak?
hi, thank you for good video, i have a question – whats the motive to change the thermostat? my Tuareg hybrid supercharged have heat engine, and the re-tour from radiator is cold, i think the thermostat is blocked in close position and not have the circulation of cooling liquid in big circuit…
I ordered same vacuum machine after watching the video, I installed bigger heat exchanger on B8.5 S4 , and cant get the air out, I hope this will do the job. Thanks
What is the cost to have an indy Audi specialist do this?
Anyone know where i can find a guide for a B8 1.8T or is the procedure the same?
Hi Derek, Do you need to remove the supercharger if you are only replacing the water pump?

what is the purpose of removing 2 screws @ 22:50 and 24:30?…then the frame jumps to 24:50 of removing 6 screws for thermostat.
Hey Buddy. It was hard but well done. You are an experienced guy. Good job.

By far, the best DIY for 3.0T thermostat removal on the web. SO much better than the horrible Toni Simple Remedies crappy video
Excellent job… Thanks!
thanks a lot
