Hi Guy,

sorry to hear your car is poorly. I have dumped out pretty much the entire Elsa W12 coolant section for engine code BHT (didnt know your engine code).
Hope it helps you get it fixed.

Goran

edit - MS Word sucks! its made a complete mess of that file. Guy let me know your engine code and year of car and I will try to get the Elsa info into pdf.

Should have posted, but I went out just after speaking to Guy.. Sent him them as PDFs too.

Goran 6th June 2012 07:45 PM

No worries, I shouldnt have used Word. Hope Guy can fix it easily.

Fingers crossed... Though nice to see a load of responses to help.

Definitely sounds like a hose has popped, and given that they were all off a few weeks ago...

Might help too

Try to get a rough location for it, then start working back from there.

BUT as a positive if the engine has only just been fitted, it should be covered by Audi 1 Year warranty?

All sorted thankfully just a jubelee clip that must have come loose or something so the pipe popped off an absolute b****rd to get at it there really is just no room in that engine bay i can see why audi reffer most faults for the engine to be removed, you really cant work on it +++ panic over
