Coolant pipe - Seeping.

[kash_v]

Hi guys,

I have a slight leak from a coolant pipe on my s3, please see attached. It is the pipe on the left hand side of the block, that sits right next to the block.

Can anyone confirm where it goes to? As I cannot see due to the rear heatsheild being in the way (didnt have time to remove it today).

Kind Regards

I don't have an S3 myself. Whatever is leaking, you are going to have to take some parts of to find the source of the leak. Hopefully a loose clip or the actual hose.

Found it in the end. Its the coolant hose to the turbo at one end, then connects to a metal pipe other end - that goes into the aux water pump.

Ill get the clamp off at the weekend, hopefully its that. As i think the subframe has to be dropped to get access to the turbo/coolant pipe - fun.

That's a big job just for a pipe, good luck.
