Thermostat housing

[h.bomb]

Hi does anyone know where i can purchase a thermotat housing for my 1997 audi a6 1.8 petrol with the adr engine , hoping to not have to purchase from an audi dealer. I have been told that the thermostat is most likely stuck and that the housing will need replacing due to the fact that i have no heat from blowers and oil and temperature gauges dont go above 60 degrees . Any advice mst welcom

you dont need to replace the housing unless its leaking or damaged
i would check the water pump circulation as well

thanks for the advice will do a thorough coolant flush , and i already have brought a thermostat so may as well replace the water pump as well , could this be why i amonly getting about 50 miles from a tenners worth of peterol ??

if car runs too cold it will affect fuel consumption
