Its not possible, and if was would be much much more work than spending the whole 25 minutes to put it into service position. The front bumper is just pull out the 2 fog light covers, 2 allen bolts go from the bottom up, and there are 3 nuts on each end attached it to the fender, and it comes off. Some T30's and 3 T45 on one size and 4 T45 on the other and put a stud in one hole on each side and pull the front clip forward to gain room to doing the thermostat.

I will be giving it a couple of days before I attempt the thermostat issue......I got the oil problem taken care of and it was those stupid half moon plugs that were leaking.......one more thing that I know to look for now when and if I purchase another Audi......now that I have mine fixed for the most part......anyone interested in buying an 01 Audi with 185k on it let me know.....I have a clean title for it and the tabs are good until May 2015
