    I have a 2001 Audi TT. One of the metal pipes for coolant is rusted through - Audi quoted me €222 for a new one, and will take 7-10 working days. I need my car back on the road sooner.

    Part is number 10 on this diagram, would anyone know where I might be able to get a replacement cheaper, and faster? 2nd hand maybe?

    Thanks.

    Give these folks a shout

    They are a Seat dealership but deal with all Vag parts. Ask for a quote and get it if its cheaper then use Parcel Motel to ship it to Ireland.

    Thanks I called one breakers and they said they don't normally keep parts like pipes and hoses. My only hope is if they have a full car.,

    Is there any way for me to find out who has a TT of this year or do I just need to ring around? Who are the main breakers?

    Traynors in NI are massive and if I'm not mistaken they deliver every day to ROI.

    Try kmspartsonline on eBay. They usually have what I need at a decent price.

    I don't think you need one exactly of that year, usually they are compatible with more years.
    Try Kilcock dismantlers, I usually go there.
