So I had an oil change done yesterday and I found out that my Thermostat is leaking and in need of repair. The dealer wants over $1,200. I know I can repair this myself. Any suggestions on the thermostat replacement on a 2005 Audi A6 C6 3.2L V6. I found one video from Edgemotors but it goes into cleaning the intake and also removing the fuel injection lines, which I may have to do.. I was thinking of purchasing the parts on Europaparts.com but have never used them. Thoughts?

It might be worth mentioning that you have a 3.2L V6 rather than a 4.2 V8, since both were available in 2005.

That said, I have no idea what's involved in changing out the thermostat on this engine.
