So my car (2005 A3 2.0 FSI) started steaming like a kettle, pulled over immediately to find a coolant connector had broken and was losing coolant. Called RAC, he came and said it was the 3-way connector coming from the throttle body and connecting the EGR, heater matrix and the reservoir tank. He did a temporary fix by bypassing both components and routing straight to the res tank, just adding regular water to get me the 2 miles I had to get home. He also followed me till I'm home to make sure there are no issues.. and now I need to buy the connector and coolant.

I have photos and have seen what I *think* are the right connectors online but I would like an exact part number to be sure.

Any advice, tips and part numbers would be much appreciated!

Thank you so much! That didn't look exactly right (although it would still plumb everything together) so I used that site to dig further using the engine code and found 1K0121087B - that to me seems the exact part
 
N 90693001 is the superseded part to N 91033401

They seem to have changed the design from a t-piece with a one angled bit to just a straight t-piece :)
