Coolant leak on AQF
I have gotten a coolant leak from somewhere in the back of my engine, it looks like it's coming from somewhere near center between the two heads. Is it a know issue with something laying in that area? I know "all" VAG 4cyl engines have problem with the water manifold in the rear of the head so thought it might apply to something on the V8's as well.

Check it's not running from the expansion tank down the pipe that goes back that way and then dripping off.

Unfortunately not, it looks like it's coming from almost dead center right behind the intake manifold.
Know that the V6 engines has a kind of metal "T-pipe" going from the front of the engine (goes up behind the water pump) and then back to each cylinder head. Anyone know if the V8 has this as well? Can't seem to find it on etka :/ |

Found the problem, it turned out to be the plastic pipe between the engine block and oil cooling block. And by the way, it's possible to change it without tearing of the entire front of the car At least if you have a 2-post lift
