    Before you go replacing parts, get it scanned first so you definitely know what it is. Maybe organise a member to scan it for you for a case of beer or something...

    Thermostats are pretty cheap - I just checked some parts suppliers in the US and they're about $20 so expect up to 50-100% more locally.

    common for being faulty, quick test after a short drive, if the gauge is reading low switch on your heater on HIGH and feel the temp in the cabin. If its nice and hot good chance the stat is good and its your temp sensor playing up. If its luke warm then your on the money with the Stat.

    Pricing depends on the thermostat, too.

    The electric jobbie at the gearbox end (if applicable), is around $220 exchange through VW. Conveniently, it comes with a new temperature sensor.
