My CEL is on and DuPage AutoWerks diagnosed as a bad thermostat. They replaced it but a few days later the CEL came right back on (according to them, it takes a few days for the thermostat to kick in, thus why the CEL was off for a few days and then came back on) they think the replacment they installed was faulty. I don't live anywhere near them so they refunded my $$. There isn't a "trusted TDI guru" close to me and I've seen threads saying that replacing the thermostat is easy. I'm not inclined to try it myself, however if it's so easy, would just some one like Midas be able to replace it for me? I've got an appointment with Small Car Motors in Zion (recomended by a fellow TDI'er that has had good luck with the place) however they are 45 min south of home. Long story short, it would be SO much simpler to take it to the Midas that's about a mile up the street from work (that I never had any problems with when I took my gasser there) then to have to drive 45 min south of home (and home is 60 min south of work) to get the thermostat replaced.
Thanks in advance.
