Secondly, being reluctant to pay £35 for original part in my opinion isn't the smartest move especially that the entire front end needs to come out inc bumper, radiator with frame, v belt and cam belt....if thermostat is the problem of course and if it is and cam belt is due then new tensioners, pulleys and water pump would be recommended - cost close to magic 4 digits with this cars if you take it to the garage....now thinking about it, this must be another reason for 4 rings in Audi badge  oooo look very close to £1000 bill for each visit at the garage.
