How do you change S4/S6 Thermostat?

[Animal Mother]

Tries to attempt to change my stat today but seems to be a much bigger job on the AAN than on ABY as the power steering pump is in the way.
Does anyone on here know how to do it. Pics would also halp loads.

It's not that bad. You definitely don't have to move the PS pump. BUT, you need to disconnect the Intercooler to Throttle body hose at the throttle body and move it out of the way. I wrote some instructions at Audiworld that I just updated with Part Numbers and one photo. I think you will find them useful. The instructions are now linked out of my Ur C4 S FAQ at:

Let us know how these instructions work.

Just as I thought, not an exact science!

Will give it a go this week.
