Default Audi A4 B7 losing coolant

Hey guys,

My 2005 Audi A4 B7 with a BGB engine is losing coolant and not heating up to a decent temperature when driving on the highway however it will get to temperature when driving around town.

It is not blowing any white smoke and the oil is not a milky colour. The coolant also is red and there is no oil in it.

There are also no check engine lights.

I suspect the thermostat could potentially be the problem however I don't want to go and buy one if this isn't the problem.

Do any of you think it could be something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
