Found a small coolant leak this weekend coming from the bottom rad hose, and looked to be the o-ring that had failed checked my version of etka and it was coming up as non replacement part, which i thought was strange as a few years back I purchase one without a problem, so I check with the local VW dealer as they have the latest versions of etka and sure enough it's now part of the rad hose with an asking price of £90, I cannot believe VW are doing this sort of sh!ty practice, bet they have a load of pipes left over and want to get rid of them. Thankfully gsfcarparts stock them got 6 of them for £2.50.
The other thing that pi$$ me off as I also need T piece off the screen washer system as my had a small crack in this bit of pipe and was leaking, VW want £8 for this little bit of plastic tube 8 fecking quid for a part that would cost penny's to make. You would think that Audi would start to reduce the prices for parts on older cars just to try and keep owners coming back to use VW dealers.
