IMO audi thermostats are crap, every audi and i have had, (and i have had a lot) have all had at least 1 thermostat and in one car 3 of them in a year!!!! I just think they are a weak point and rubbish quality. My bro in law has had the same problems too with newer audi's too.

This is probably a bit late (but I have posted this before):

As other's have said, its probably the thermostat. Replacement is probably a bit more challenging than for the AAN but here is my AAN thermostat replacement procedure:

Hope this (still) helps.

I removed that weber carb before I sold that car - glad I did - only had a few thousand miles through it and these puppies can make decent money on eBay. Bonus - just gotta find it now

I have the same issue will have to take a sunday out to get it done as well as the Mark H mod ..

Yep - when water is cold, you get more fuel for enrichment and more advance.

Can't say I miss using a 'choke' right enough. Last time I had to do that was on the Astra 1.6SR of my student days - had a flaky GM Varajet carb with automatic choke that was temperamental so I put on a Weber 32/34 DMTL carb with a manual choke to solve that problem. Ahh the old days.

Am I right in thinking it will cause it to run rich cause the ecu thinks its running cold all the time?

Spot on.
When mine needed changing it was kicking my MPGs ****! Will be on "choke" for want of a better word.

You'd have thought so, and by rights yes, but I've noticed no difference between before and after in mpg figures. [shrug]

I dont mind travelling abit to get it done, Co. Durham might be abit too far though!

As I thought then

Defo the stat, mine did the same.

Not a big jub either, just a little fidly. Plus you get the satisfaction of not having to pay anybody.

Agreed this sounds like thermostat also. As Jas11n says - wrap it up with a few other tiresome jobs when you get that far in.
