Thermostat - Normally changed when it's either faulty or if you are doing other work near it and it makes sense to combine jobs and do it at the same time as preventative. I think it's not too bad to change it in 4.2TDI.
Cheers fella, just want to be preventative as much as I hope to keep car for few years until I can afford D4😎
