2013 Audi Q5 Thermostat
Technical sources including Audi’s ElsaWin workshop manuals for the Q5 (8R), the Audi Self‑Study Programmes on EA888 and V6 TFSI engines, and the ETKA parts catalogue confirm that every 2013 Audi Q5 engine (2.0 TFSI, 3.0 TFSI, and TDI variants) is fitted with a coolant thermostat assembly. Some variants use a map‑controlled (electrically heated) thermostat integrated into a plastic housing.
For the 2013 Audi Q5, the thermostat is a small bit of kit that does a big job. It regulates coolant flow so the engine warms up quickly and then holds a steady operating temperature under the bonnet. That means better fuel economy, lower emissions, a toasty heater on cold mornings, and solid protection against overheating when working hard or towing. On many Q5 engines the thermostat sits in a combined housing with seals and a temperature sensor
