T-stat question (Yes, I've searched)
Does the t-stat make the car run cold or hot when it fails on the A4? Forgot to add that this is on the 2.8L, if it makes any difference.

Normally runs cold
I have a 96. On mine it would warm up slowly (10-15 minutes) but eventually get up to temp in traffic. If I was doing 60-70 mph on a cold day or it was raining it would cool down. After replacing it It warms up in less than 5 minutes and never moves from the middle of the guage. I suppose a thermostat could stick closed but I imagine you would know about that pretty quick.My first thermostat failed at 75kmiles just after having the waterpump replaced.
