    Have a leak from a rubber hose at the front of the engine. Car is a 02 A4 1.8t AVJ engine.
    Tracked it down to the turbo coolant return pipe. Hole in the rubber section. P/n 06B 121 497C. See below s-l300.jpg

    Item number 25 in exploded view

    Just ordered one from main dealer for €100.. Ouch.

    Has anyone removed one of these before and how easy is it to get to. TBH it looks a b.itch..

    I praying the car doesn't have to go into service position.
    Anyone got any experience/tips on this one??

    Thanks

    Anything on this folks?

    Searching around the tinternet and a lot saying I need to remove turbo:(

    Going at it in the morning after getting parts, and would appreciate any advice

    PS, tried audiforum.uk which I normally use, but it seems to be gone quite of late.
    Is this the best audi forum to be on or is there a better one?
    Normally a guy called crasher would help with jobs like this but not sure if he's still active..

    Thanks for the reply. 6 hours later and stiff from head to toe and it's replaced.
    I hope it never gives you trouble:)
    Can be done without turbo removal and everything done from underneath...
    Connection to turbo is the hard one..
