The t-stat in the 04 is removable vs. the whole housing that is used in the older cars.

Even then it depends...whether your '04 was built early or later. My '04 which came out early (August 2003) actually uses the '03 and earlier version T-stat. You will also find that the 2004 share several C6 parts, i.e., 02 sensors, fuel tank design, etc.
