Thanks in advance  |
Shoved it in the air again last weekend and could not get it to leak!!
When it was on the driveway about a couple of thimble's worth of water (showing my age...) under the car.
Looked at AudiForums site and they reckon you have to move a whole host of kit out of the engine bay, plus lose your engine oil and coolant to change the pipe 
Will live with it for now and decide what to do next year.
Hope you have better luck than me.
